Made me run to buy Final Draft. I wanted to tear my hair out. You get what you pay for.

It's free. I get that, and I guess you should be grateful for anything that's free. For what it does, it does do well. You can link things to your script etc and a built-in scheduler is going to be a great feature for someone who needs one, but for me: I'm a Mac man. I like Mac software because it looks good to the eye, and when it looks good to the eye it makes me feel good. This is not Mac software. It looks like something out of a "my first program" book. It's dated to say the least. If they gave it a good polish then it would be great but until then it's not a Mac program I'm willing to use anyway.

Well, I really couldn't care less about Celtx's visual appeal(I don't have a problem with it) or lack of it. I'm a Mac Person through and through, too.
My only requirement is that Celtx potentiates and assists my writing process, and in that regard it does deliver in spades.
But, if Celtx doesn't quite float your boat, find a screenwriting app that does.
Celtx being free is real nice but free and beautifully designed as well is really sweet.

Celtx is an absolutely beautiful gem of a screenwriting app, at least as good as any of the others out there costing many drachmas.
Unbelievable that Celtx is free of charge. It doesn't get much better than this.
Kudos and accolades to its developers.

I have downloaded many programs from this website and have never left a comment/review. I felt the need to say a little something about this program. It is absolutely amazing, and free! I can't believe it's free, honestly. It does everything, programs like final draft do, and more. Those programs are hundreds of dollars! Like I said, amazing. Thank you so much to the developers. Cheers!

I actually like this app. A lot.

I'm sorry that my last entry - a trifling bit of absurdity - upset so many. Wow! You really, really hated my script! LOL

FWIW, I was mocking myself - for having invested so much money on FD. An app BTW, that started life as a Mac app, and has now fully become a ported Windows app - for the Mac.

This is not like so many crappily ported Windows apps. You likely know which ones I mean. It is truly a cross-platform app. Designed cross-platform. Which is okay, because it works well. And it looks good.

I was mistaken to think that my original intent would be obvious. My bad.

I know Final Draft 4 cost me $399.
And each update since cost $79.
But, what do you think?

After using an IBM Selectric II for many years to write screenplays, I thought MS Word 3.0 was a tremendous step up. Then I switched to FrameMaker, but Adobe stopped Mac development. That dumped me back into Word, but the newer versions are weird for screenplays, despite the power of the program. I've tried other screenplay-centric programs, but Celtx has been my favorite for the last few versions. I've converted each of my old and current screenplay projects into Celtx, and I'm almost completely happy. About the only thing I'd change about the program is the way it handles (V.O.) next to the character name. First, it capitalizes it, which is not the Universal Studios format I learned many years ago. Second, when it builds lists of names from your screenplay, you will see (for example) CARL and CARL (V.O.) as separate entries. I can kinda see how some might find this a feature, but it bugs me. Still, this is a tremendous program, and it is free, AND you can sign up to share and discuss your projects on the Celtx website, which could be really nice if you're collaborating with others. By the way, the HTML files Celtx generates are very clean, code-wise, so posting your work on-line doesn't involve 30 minutes of code munging as with MS Word.

My tip to all my fellow screenwriters. Don't waste your money on Final Draft or other such programs! This program will do the same and more!

Spread the word... a free alternative to Final Draft.

Celtx is a comprehensive software package designed for people who work in the Film, TV, Theatre, and New Media industries. It combines full-feature scriptwriting with media rich pre-production support and enables online collaboration.

Features include:
  • Write, import, edit and publish scripts using standard industry formatting
  • Manage pre-production tasks like location and talent scouting
  • Perform production breakdowns by adding media (sound files, video clips and digital pictures)
  • Collaborate with team members over the Internet


Until Celtx, script writers were subjected to bloated and bug ridden software and the pre-production team had been ignored altogether. With Celtx, script writers enjoy using a clean and stable application that includes all the features they need to write. The pre-production team, for the first time, can now perform their production breakdown using software designed for that purpose. In addition to providing media rich tools to annotate the script, Celtx enables a project to be collaboratively shared with others.

Prior to Celtx, projects were completed using slip-sheeted, paper-based scripts maintained in bulky three ring binders that included hundreds, sometimes thousands, of attached pictures and hand written notes. Project information could only be shared in paper form.

Scripts written or imported into Celtx can be broken down digitally and, for the first time, easily shared with others to foster collaboration and creativity during the pre-production and production phases of film and TV making.
