The Problem
Screenwriters are stuck using tools built for a different era:
- WriterDuet (2M users) runs on aging Firebase + React tech — slow desktop app, limited free tier (3 projects), no AI
- Final Draft charges $199 one-time for desktop-only software with no real-time collaboration
- Celtx went freemium, got acquired, lost focus on core writing experience
Writers told us:
"My desktop app takes 30 seconds to launch. It's 2026." "I can't collaborate with my writing partner without paying $12/month each." "Why doesn't screenwriting software have AI in 2026?"
The Solution: Scripter
"Write screenplays faster, collaborate better, ship anywhere."
Scripter is the modern screenwriting platform built with 2026 technology:
