Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
A focused screenplay writer for Mac. You type — Scriptfox formats it as a script while you write, in plain Fountain files that belong to you.
WRITE • Live screenplay formatting: scene headings, action, characters, parentheticals, dialogue, transitions • Smart keys: Tab on an empty line for a character, Tab again to complete a name, Tab under a name for a parenthetical; Enter starts the next paragraph • Scene headings turn to capitals automatically; ⌘⇧H inserts a new one • Sections, synopses and notes to plan your story — they never print • *Italic*, **bold** and _underline_
NAVIGATE • Scene navigator with numbers, synopses, act sections and a filter • Character panel: speeches, scenes and words per character — click to jump to the next speech • Page count and estimated runtime (one page ≈ one minute), interior/exterior and time-of-day breakdown
