![]() It makes use of the Fountain format, you type and the program works out the element. Writer’s whole selling point is it is stripped down, no scene tabs or element toolbar, just a flashing cursor, waiting for you to write. While WYSIWYG writers like Final Draft and Celtx are still the de-facto, there are simpler alternatives. There’s been an emergence of distraction-free apps in the last few years. It’s not as feature-rich, but with good import/export formats and a solid offline mode, it’s a great fallback. If you’re a Celtx Studio user already, Storywriter is not a bad alternative. Unfortunately, writer mode doesn’t work on a mobile browser, but it does support reader mode. It’ll also sync your drafts once you’re back online.
