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.
Version 1.2.0 (1.0.7):
Note: The downloadable demo is version 1.0.7. The version available for purchase on the Mac App Store is version 1.2.0.
- The guts of Slugline have been completely reworked. The result of this major undertaking is dramatically better performance across the entire app, especially with long documents.
- Slugline now supports Scene Numbers! If your screenplay has Fountain scene numbers, Slugline now recognizes them and prints them correctly.
- Changing the on-screen size of your text is now much slicker. The zooming is smoother, with smaller increments. If you don't like increments, you can pinch-zoom to any size you like using your trackpad (Magic or otherwise). And the Preview now matches the zoom size you choose for writing.
- We've added a TV Pilot Template! With act breaks, page breaks, and, well, we based it on the BREAKING BAD pilot, so it has a lot of breaks. Find it under File > New From Template.
- Other changes:
- Bold, underlined text now prints correctly.
- Creating a Note near the end of the document no longer causes horror.
- Dual Dialogue now previews and prints correctly even when the first dialogue element is longer than the second.
- Smoother transitions in and out of Preview.
- If you open a new screenplay while in full-screen mode, Slugline no longer bumps you out of full-screen mode.
- Home and End keys now do the things they say on them.
- Emoji probably works now. Please be responsible.
- Centered text works better. The End.
- OS X 10.8 or later
