First Draft
April 2026
FADE IN:
1 INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT 1
A small studio lit by a single laptop. DREW (30s) sits hunched at the keyboard, fingers poised. The screen reads: "FADE IN:"
The cursor blinks. And blinks. And blinks.
Drew types one letter. Deletes it. Types another. Deletes that one too.
DREW
(to himself)
Okay. A masterpiece. No pressure.
He closes the laptop. Opens it. Closes it again.
DREW (CONT'D)
I'll just look it up.
He types into the search bar: "screenplays for people who hate writing."
DREW (CONT'D)
(reading)
"Just start writing." Wow. Thanks.
2 EXT. CITY STREET - LATER 2
Drew walks fast, hood up. He stops at a coffee cart. The BARISTA looks up.
BARISTA
The usual?
DREW
Make it a triple.
BARISTA
(handing him the cup)
Bad day?
DREW
I'm writing a screenplay.
BARISTA
Same answer.
A KID runs by, screaming "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" Drew watches him go.
DREW
(quietly)
He's already got an opening.
3 INT. APARTMENT - LATER 3
Drew sits back down. The screen still reads "FADE IN:"
He cracks his knuckles. Takes a breath.
DREW
(to himself)
Okay. Here we go.
He types. Fast. The screen fills:
"FADE IN: INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT. A small studio lit by a single laptop. DREW (30s) sits hunched at the keyboard..."
Drew reads what he wrote. A slow smile spreads.
DREW (CONT'D)
That'll do.
FADE OUT.

Why Typerino

Hi, I’m Charlie. I’ve been writing for a long time and building software almost as long. Typerino is what comes out of doing both.

I built Typerino because I wanted to use it. I wanted to take my time on the small things, the kind of details that don’t show up in any feature list, but you feel them when you write.

There’s something satisfying about watching a screenplay take shape on the page: the slug lines, the character cues, the page breaks, all where they should be. Getting that right matters to me. So does making sure what you see in the editor is exactly what comes out when you export.

Typerino is small on purpose. It’s me, building it carefully and listening. What you write stays on your computer, where it belongs. You can export to Final Draft or Fountain anytime. Your work is yours.

If something’s off, or you just want to say hello, . I read every one.

— Charlie

Common questions

Is the formatting industry-standard?

Yes. Margins, pagination, dialogue page breaks, and (CONT’D) handling follow the Cole & Haag and WGA conventions. Final Draft sits in that same working range, and so does Typerino. Stage plays follow the Dramatists Play Service and Samuel French house styles, the standard for submission and publication.

Do I need to know screenplay formatting?

No. Type a slug line and Typerino formats it; type a name in caps and the next line indents to dialogue. How smart flow works

What if my computer crashes while I’m writing?

Typerino auto-saves every keystroke and keeps a snapshot history inside each document. Roll back to any point in the script’s past at any time. How version history works

Can I import my existing scripts?

Yes. Import from Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain (.fountain), Fade In (.fadein), and Celtx (.celtx). Final Draft, Fountain, and Fade In keep your formatting and structure; Celtx brings your words in to reformat. What survives import

Will my scripts open in Final Draft?

Yes. Export as .fdx and Final Draft will open it with all standard screenplay elements preserved. Export as PDF for industry submission. What survives the export

Does Typerino work for stage plays?

Yes. Stage plays are first-class, with templates from ten-minute pieces through full-length plays. Submission-ready from page one. More on the four formats

What happens after the free trial?

14 days, no card required. After that, $11.99/mo or $99/yr. If the trial ends, your scripts stay on your disk; subscribe any time to keep writing.

Does Typerino work offline?

Completely. It’s a desktop app. Your scripts open and save whether you’re connected or not.

Do you store my scripts on your servers?

Never. We don’t host your scripts, we don’t read them, we don’t have them. Your files live on your computer; back them up however you like, local or cloud.

What platforms are supported?

Mac (macOS 12+) and Windows (10+).

Can I write on my iPad or phone?

Not yet. Typerino runs on Mac and Windows desktops. Mobile isn’t on the near-term roadmap; the desktop experience is where the focus is.

That scene isn't going to write itself.

Almost there. We'll send the download link the day Typerino launches.
