ezScript: A Simplified Screenwriting Chrome Extension Tool

ezScript is a streamlined screenwriting application designed as a Chrome extension. With critical features such as automated formatting, Google Drive integration, and the ability to save scripts as PDF or Final Draft files, it presents a user-friendly interface for writers. The application uses courier prime font and saves scripts in Fountain file format. Best of all, ezScript is completely free. The creator, who primarily uses it for their own needs, is open to feedback and ready to resolve any issues or implement desired features.

User reviews

I wish I could give this more stars, especially as I've used it for a year without any problems. Sure, it's clunky and, as other reviewers mentioned, looks absolutely nothing like the sample photos. But it worked decently. Then, it started glitching. I've lost nearly 60 pages of a solid second draft, and there's no way to recover them. I wouldn't recommend this program at all — two stars seems generous.

Austero pero funcional. Aunque no respeta al 100 % el formato al exportar a Final Draft y no reconoce el campo de Character cuando se introduce un nombre con acento, sigue siendo buena alternativa para escribir guion.

This app is broken and does not function properly on a chromebook, which you'd think is the ideal UI for it. There is a massive UI control on the top of the page which doesn't allow you to do anything. Changing the title is near impossible. Changing formatting is not remotely close to as seamless as it should be. This has proven more frustrating to use than anything else and that is extremely disappointing considering it works on windows... if this is ever fixed I would be happy to use it, but for not it is more annoying than useful.
