Slugline

Slugline is a minimal, distraction-free environment for the most important part of screenwriting: the writing part.

Slugline works with plain text. It automatically turns your writing into a properly formatted screenplay, without you ever needing to press the Tab key or touch the mouse.

No buttons. No settings. Just writing.

Note: Now requires OS X 10.11 or later.

Note: The downloadable demo is at 1.0.7. The version available for purchase on the Mac App Store is version 1.3.0.

• Should be less greedy with your laptop’s battery
• Smoother scrolling that keeps up with your typing better, even on very large, complex documents
• Undo now un-does blocks of typing, rather than one letter at a time
• Typing the @ symbol, the trick for forcing a Character element, now brings up an auto-complete menu of any forced Characters already in your screenplay
• After pressing Return to choose a Scene Heading prefix (INT, EXT, etc.) from the auto-complete menu, the cursor now remains on the line, so you can keep typing your Scene Heading
• Undo-ing the creation of a Character/Dialogue pair no longer inserts random garbage into your screenplay
• Fixed a potential memory lea
• When reverting to a saved document, the "Loading" spinner should go away now
