What ActOne Screenplay is

ActOne Screenplay is a desktop-native workspace for writers and filmmakers on Windows and Linux. It writes in Fountain plain text and renders scripts in Courier Prime on US Letter or A4 pages, with real-time syntax coloring. A collapsible outline organizes acts, scene headings, beat synopses, scene tags, estimated page length, and character counts. Projects can include multiple screenplays, character bibles, treatments, draft revisions, and Markdown notes, with timed local snapshots. X-Ray visualizes dialogue and action density, character dialogue presence, and estimated screen runtime. Muse can connect to local Ollama or LM Studio instances, or use custom API keys, to help brainstorm or analyze story material with scene context. Exports include PDF, and the software supports two-way Final Draft FDX compatibility plus production tags for props, wardrobe, stunts, and VFX. The maker says writing stays on local disk without mandatory sign-ins or online sync. Local AI models can run offline, and custom API keys are encrypted on-device. ActOne is free and open-source, with Windows 10/11 64-bit and Linux x86_64 packages offered.
