Scrivener / Available On Streaming Rental or Purchase

While Final Draft is considered the screenwriting standard, Scrivener is the standard for writing overall—providing an excellent way to organize and format large writing projects so that you don’t get overwhelmed by the task ahead. As an all-around writing app, Scrivener holds a comprehensive toolkit in its library, including citation formatting for academics and, most importantly, different templates for screenwriters. Scrivener also has planning features such as its corkboard and outliner to pin down any idea. With this in mind, Scrivener would be best suited for screenwriters that also work in non-film projects or for authors looking to adapt their previous works to film.
