Hi Product Hunt! I'm Onur, a cinematographer and the solo maker of Scriptease.
I built this because making my own films meant paying for a screenwriting app, a web-based production manager, and a budgeting spreadsheet, and every time I changed a scene, I had to re-sync all of them by hand. On lumpy indie schedules, the subscriptions kept charging me for months when I wasn't even shooting.
So Scriptease is one file. Write a scene and the breakdown, stripboard, budget, and call sheet all keep up. And it's fully offline. I've filed paperwork on stages with no signal, so "the cloud is down" can never kill a shoot day.
Two things I'm proudest of in this release:
1) You don't need a script to start. A lot of production teams never get the script (confidentiality) or it isn't locked yet, so you can budget and schedule from a hand-built scene list with page counts, and drop the screenplay in later.
2) A TV season is ONE project, with shared cast/crew/budget/look. Each episode is written as its own screenplay in tabs, with its own page 1, exported per episode. Not thirteen files you reconcile by hand.
It's a one-time $99.99, Mac only, no subscription, updates included.
I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially from anyone who's kept a production alive across five apps and a spreadsheet. What breaks for you? I'm here all day answering everything. Thank you for taking a look.
