Screenplay writing software
Screenplays have one rule above all: the format. Scene headings, action, character and dialogue each sit exactly where the industry expects, in exactly the right typeface, so a reader knows your page count at a glance. Myra Create's Screenplay Mode handles all of that automatically in your browser, keeps your cast and world in the same app, and exports to PDF, Final Draft and Fountain when the draft is ready to leave your hands.
Writing a screenplay, step by step
1.Start a screenplay project
Switch any project to Screenplay Mode and The Desk becomes a script editor: scene headings, action, character, dialogue, parentheticals and transitions, all formatted in Courier Prime as you type.
2.Build your cast and world
Keep characters, locations and research in The Attic with images and relationships, and jot planning notes in The Nook. A screenplay is one room of a bigger story, and Myra Create holds all of it.
3.Navigate by scene
A scene list sidebar jumps you anywhere in the script, and the title page is built in. Rewrite a scene without losing your place.
4.Export where the industry lives
Export to PDF for readers, Final Draft (.fdx) for collaborators, Fountain for any other screenwriting app, Word for notes, or plain text. Your script is never locked in.
Why write your script in the browser
Specs get written in fragments: an hour before work, a train ride, a weekend when the idea finally lands. Because Myra Create saves to the cloud on every keystroke, the draft you start on a laptop is exactly where you left it on your phone or tablet — same script, same page, nothing to install, sync or back up.
Common questions
- What is the best screenwriting software for beginners?
- Good beginner screenwriting software gets out of the way: you pick an element, write, and the formatting is already correct. Myra Create's Screenplay Mode does exactly that in the browser — no download, no install — and the first 30 days of Pro are free, so you can finish a first draft before paying anything.
- Can I export my script to Final Draft?
- Yes. Screenplay Mode exports to Final Draft (.fdx) with scene headings, action, character, dialogue and other elements intact, so anything you write opens in Final Draft, and scripts can be shared with producers or collaborators who work there.
- Does Myra Create format scripts in Courier?
- Yes. Screenplay Mode uses proper screenplay layout in Courier Prime, the industry standard for script pages, with correct margins and element spacing. Exported PDFs keep the Courier layout, so your page count matches what a reader expects.
- What is Fountain format?
- Fountain is a plain-text way of writing screenplays that stays readable anywhere and can be opened by most screenwriting apps. Myra Create exports to Fountain, so your script is never locked into one tool.
- Can I plan characters and scenes alongside my screenplay?
- Yes. Myra Create has a full world-building hub, The Attic, where you keep characters, locations and research with images and relationships, plus a reading tracker and planning space. It is one app for the whole story, not just the script.
- Is there a free screenwriting option in Myra Create?
- Reading, book tracking and planning notes are free forever, and Myra Create Pro starts with 30 free days. During the trial you get Screenplay Mode, unlimited projects and all exports. After that Pro is $10 a month or $100 a year.
