Features & Capabilities

An elegant Fountain screenwriting app, created by a screenwriter for screenwriters. The perfect companion for full macOS version of Beat.

Beat lets you write in a flow: Just start typing and let Beat take care of the formatting. There are as little distractions as possible to let you concentrate on writing.

The app uses Fountain markup to store your documents, so everything you write is portable and future-proof. Your files are stored only on your own accounts and devices, and they are kept completely private.

• Distraction-free UI • Index cards • Automatic scene numbering • Auto complete for scene headings and character names • PDF export • Final Draft import and export • Revision/edit tracking • Novel mode • Collection of templates for a quick start

It’s simple and intuitive. I prefer it to all the other apps I’ve tried and the price is great. It’s free on Mac as well last I checked, so you can go back and forth as needed.

I love this app. It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s easy to use. I’m able to burn out a screenplay no problem, but I’m also writing on my iPad. I’m running into a problem that I’m not sure if anyone else is running into for whatever reason when I try to save my scripts or download them to be able to print them out or send them to other collaborators. The script will not open for whatever reason it will not turn to a PDF and when I try to open up the script once it saved to be able to send it to someone it says Null. I’m just really stumped and I’m not too sure what to do so that being said I’m giving the app three stars when in reality it should be a full five.

Especially with Final Draft’s new cloud-based nonsense, (beat) is far and away not only the best value, but the only easy cross-device option because I can just store my scripts in iCloud or wherever. The only thing I wish is that you could hide the markup in the iOS and iPadOS versions the way you can in the macOS version. Then it would be 12/10 instead of 11/10.
