For screenwriters who want to shape a story before or alongside drafting, Prewrite helps organize scenes, characters, and plot beats in one visual workspace. Start from a story template or import a screenplay in PDF or Final Draft (.fdx) format; Prewrite can identify its scenes and characters for further outlining and analysis. Arrange scenes on a timeline or as cards, then track story beats, plot threads, themes, characters, and shifts in emotional tone. Add images for visual reference, review story statistics, and switch to a page editor for screenplay-style writing. Prewrite also supports templates for other forms of writing, including novels and articles, and can export projects in Final Draft (.fdx) or Word (.docx) format. It may suit writers who want to see how story elements connect while planning, revising, or preparing a project to present.
