Inkwell

Built different

Other screenwriting tools digitized the typewriter. Inkwell treats the page as structure — scenes, lines, and revisions you can name — so collaboration and AI stay precise.

That is the company. We build the writing environment that should have existed once generation was good enough to work inside a draft.

Plot — the screenwriter’s IDE

Plot is available now.

Write and revise with automatic screenplay formatting. Import and export Final Draft (FDX), work with Fountain, and hand off a production-ready PDF. Keep history as save points instead of a folder of almost-identical files. Explore the other ending on a draft line. Run a skill pass on dialogue, continuity, coverage, or tone and review it in the scene. Hand a larger brief to Agent Mode. Take the script from first pages through a locked shooting-script handoff without leaving the same writing environment.

Feature, television, shorts, stage, audio drama. Free plan to start. Paid plans from $19/mo.

Canvas — documents on the same platform

Canvas is in early access for Pro and Team: treatments, series bibles, research, and project docs with the same save points, draft lines, and skills as Plot.

Why Inkwell

Name the moment, not the file. Save points are the draft you meant. Draft lines hold parallel versions. A rewritten line of dialogue shows up as one change.

AI as co-author. Skills are specialists — dialogue, continuity, coverage, tone, economy of language — and they edit in place. Ghost text completes as you type. Agent Mode takes the bigger pass.

One tool, the entire arc. First draft, notes, alt-versions, lock, production. Plot collapses the handoff chain most writers still run across three apps and a shared drive.
