Cinestyle Studio retail box — dark matte with gold aperture mark

Final Draft
is $250.
And Unchanged.

We built Cinestyle Studio because working screenwriters deserve better than a $250 Word processor that last had a meaningful update during the Obama administration.

Tab key cycles screenplay elements. Import your existing Final Draft files. Format a full feature-length screenplay without hitting a page limit. Write in real-time with a co-writer across the country. Send a personalized query letter to a literary manager in three clicks.

This isn't a web app that runs in your browser. It's a real desktop application — fast, local, yours.

Every Tool
You Actually Need.

🎬
Script Editor
A dedicated screenplay editor with a full element bar — Slug, Action, Character, Parenthetical, Dialogue, Transition, Shot. Tab key cycles every element and applies correct indentation automatically. Page Focus Mode takes you full screen with a white page on dark — just you and the words. Import .fountain and Final Draft .fdx files directly.
New in v3.1
Real-Time Co-Writing
Start a session, share a 6-character code, and your co-writer is in the room. Both of you see changes live. A side chat panel for notes without touching the script. Everything saves to your project. Isolated from the rest of the app — if the connection drops, your Script tab is completely unaffected. Pro and Studio tiers.
New in v3.1
AI Pipeline
Paste your screenplay. The Pipeline tab detects every INT./EXT. scene automatically, then generates a professional shot list and AI video prompt for each one — for Wan 2.2, Kling 3.0, Higgsfield, FLUX, and Midjourney. Pause, resume, export all prompts as a production document. One screenplay to full previs in minutes.
Auto Scene Detection
📄
One-Liner Breakdown
Every scene. One sentence. Industry-standard production format. The One-Liner tab processes your entire script and generates a scene-by-scene breakdown with INT/EXT designation, location, one-sentence description, cast present, and estimated page count. Export it as a production document. The first thing a production coordinator builds from a locked script.
New in v3.1
Write Tab + Format
Paste raw notes, rough scenes, or bullet points and hit Format as Screenplay. The AI returns industry-standard formatting. For full-length features, it processes in scene batches — no page limits, no token wall. Also formats AV Script, Comic, and Novel. Shot List generation from any formatted screenplay.
No Page Limits
Inspire
Five creative tools: Character Seeds (NAME, WOUND, WANT, FEAR, CONTRADICTION), What If variations on your premise, Archetype Collider, Logline Workshop with A–F grades, and Stress Test — which finds your audience, names a comparison title, and tells you the one change that would make it unmissable. For when the blank page fights back.
5 Modes
Project Bible
Per-project canon tracker. Characters, rules, timeline, canon facts, open questions — all persistent and searchable. Never forget you established the scar was on the left hand in Scene 3. Entries tagged by type, exportable as a document, searchable across the full project. Your story's living memory.
Persistent Per Project
Story AI + The Room
Script Doctor analyzes 3–10 pages with numbered, line-specific notes. Character Voices flags every line where two characters sound identical. The Room gives you Killer Question, Tone Compass, Voice Sampler, and Honest Reader — the feedback you need, not the feedback you want. Save any result directly to your Project Bible.
Script Doctor
🎙
Audio Table Read
Every character gets a different voice. Dialogue is spoken. Action lines create pauses. A rehearsal tool that costs nothing and is available at 2am when you need to hear if the scene works. Connects to your ElevenLabs API key. The fastest way to find out if your dialogue sounds like real people talking.

Write at the
Speed of Thought.

Every professional knows the keyboard is the instrument. Tab cycles element types. Enter knows what comes next. The element bar shows exactly where you are in the scene.

No menus. No clicking. No fighting the tool. Just writing.

Script — Hell for Certain
INT. ABANDONED CATHEDRAL — NIGHT
 
Rain hammers the stained glass. A single candle throws wild shadows against stone walls that have seen three centuries of prayers — and at least one unforgivable sin.
 
CROSS
He killed my daughter. Everything else — the badge, the oath, the thirty years — none of it matters anymore.
 
ANGEL
It matters to me.
