Release notes

Fixed

• Sending a message through the contact or feedback form no longer asks you to sign in again after Typerino has been open for a while.
• The one-time analytics notice no longer reappears on each launch after you’ve dismissed it.

Fixed

• The setup tour no longer reappears after Typerino updates itself.
• On Windows, the Skip button in the setup tour is no longer hidden behind the window controls.

New

• After Typerino installs an update, a brief note now confirms the version you’re on and links to what’s new.

Fixed

• Contacting support from the sign-in screen now works when you’re signed out.

Improved

• Plainer wording on the free-trial, plan, and account-deletion screens.

Improved

• The Typerino logo has a refreshed design across the app, including a matching dark version for dark themes.

Fixed

• Note pins on dialogue and parenthetical lines drifted half an inch off the page; they now rest on the page edge like pins on every other line type.

Improved

• Fade In scripts now import with their formatting intact. Scene headings, action, dialogue, transitions, and the title page come across correctly, where before a Fade In file could arrive as plain text.
• Importing from Fade In also carries over act breaks, dual dialogue, and scene numbers.

Improved

• Open and Import are now separate actions. Import always brings a file in as a new Typerino document and leaves your original untouched; Open starts from your existing Typerino documents.
• The New Document screen is tidier. Screenplay offers Blank and Feature, and the one-hour television templates are now four clear choices by structure: Cable / Streaming, Network, Procedural, and Open Structure / Limited Series.

Fixed

• Title pages now survive the full trip out to a Final Draft (.fdx) file and back: the title, contact details, draft, and date all return in the right place.
• On Windows, installing an update no longer opens the full setup screen each time. Updates apply quietly and reopen Typerino.
• The page now stays the same warm shade in light mode instead of going stark white.
• The copy button for your account recovery code no longer stays stuck on “Copied” after you use it.

New

• Sign in with email: enter your address, get a 6-digit code, and sign in without a Google or Apple account.

Improved

• Import now tells you exactly why a file could not be opened (wrong type, too large, or unreadable) instead of one generic message.
• The “Your scripts” onboarding step shows television titles the way the home screen does: the episode first, with the series trailing.

Fixed

• Account emails now show the Typerino wordmark instead of a broken-image box.
• Pasting text that contains Script Markers no longer breaks the Marks panel and other marker tools.
• The sign-in window can now be dragged on Windows.
• The plan-switch confirmation again shows the prorated amount instead of appearing to cost nothing.
• On Windows, the candidate window for Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese input no longer covers the character-name suggestions.
• In typewriter mode, tabbing into a parenthetical keeps the caret on the typewriter line instead of jumping down the page.

Improved

• Simplified the first-run home screen so a new writer sees just the essentials: start a script, or open a file.

New

• Continuous layout. A new page-free view hides page breaks so you can write without the paper edges. Switch under View ▸ Page Layout, or press ⇧⌘P. Your formatting and page count don’t change.
• Print to PDF with ⌘P. The print shortcut now exports a PDF, with a matching File ▸ Print to PDF… menu item.
• Zoom, reworked. A single zoom menu adds Fit Width and Fit Page, and you can pinch on a trackpad or hold ⌘ while scrolling to zoom.
• Open a sample script. The empty home screen now offers a finished sample script, so you can see a fully formatted document before starting your own. It works offline.
• Multi-camera per document. You can now turn multi-camera format on or off for the script you’re already in, from Settings, not just when creating a new one.
• Act breaks on the corkboard. Scene Cards now show your act breaks as fixed dividers, and moving a card across one asks first instead of quietly reshuffling your structure.

Improved

• On Windows, the app now shows a single title bar instead of a doubled one.
• Onboarding now teaches the one keystroke that matters (Tab and Enter move between elements) and sends you to pick a format when you finish.
• The font picker now makes clear that your chosen font is for writing on screen; exported and printed pages always use the standard script typeface.
• The title page can be hidden and shown again from the navigator, with nothing deleted.
• The Scene Cards card toggle is now labeled Script and Summary (was Action and Notes).
• Multi-camera scripts exported to Final Draft now keep their double spacing.

Fixed

• Double-clicking a Typerino file on Windows now opens it.
• A save that fails is no longer reported as successful, so your work can’t be lost when you close a document.
• In read-only mode, the Board, character notes, and find-and-replace controls are now clearly disabled instead of silently doing nothing.
• Import errors now say what went wrong (the file is too large, not valid, or empty) instead of one generic message.
• Pressing Enter on an empty scene heading now turns it into an Action line instead of leaving an empty heading behind.
• Pressing Backspace at the very start of a line no longer merges it into the line above when the two are different element types.

New

• TV scripts (one-hour and half-hour) now lead with the episode title across Recents, the title bar, and the Scenes panel, so episodes of the same series stop looking identical at a glance. The default save filename also includes the series, episode number, and episode title.
• End of Act is now a proper structural element in TV and stage plays, on ⌘8. It survives import and export to Final Draft and Fountain instead of flattening into action, and both Act Break and End of Act now print underlined to match production convention.
• Scene summaries written in Final Draft now carry through on FDX import: they appear in Scene Cards (open with ⌘), with a one-time notice pointing you there. Summaries also round-trip back into the FDX file alongside their scene heading on export.
• Final Draft outline and sequence paragraphs no longer come through on FDX import as on-page action. They’re treated as non-printing outliner content, matching how they behaved in the source file.

Improved

• Stage-play pages now use a more open vertical rhythm so the serif body face has room to breathe. Existing stage scripts will run about 12 to 15 percent longer (a 60-page draft becomes roughly 68 to 70 pages), in line with published stage editions.
• The Bold Title toggle now does one thing: it controls whether your title prints bold, on screen and in PDF together. The earlier behavior, where turning it on in the editor also changed the title’s size and casing, is gone. Off by default; existing settings are respected.
• The title bar measures its available width as the window resizes, so a long script name fills the real space instead of being capped to a fixed width, and the centered title appears at its final width on the first frame.

Fixed

• Importing a Final Draft script that uses curly quotes around the episode title or other title-page fields now strips the quotes cleanly.
• Final Draft revision-color page labels (Blue, Pink, Goldenrod) on FDX import are now recognized as draft labels, so a production revision line no longer strands as right-aligned text mid-page.
• The import dialog’s close button now has the same touch-target size as other dismissable notices.

Improved

• The import dialog now leads with the file’s name and lists what carries over (scenes, dialogue, formatting, title page, notes), and makes clear that importing saves a new copy to your save location.
• When something goes wrong, error messages now point you to a way to get in touch instead of showing an email address to copy.
• Subscription plans now state plainly that they renew automatically until you cancel, both when you choose a plan and in your account.

Fixed

• On Windows, saving to a Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, or Google Drive folder no longer fails when the sync app briefly locks the file. The save retries on its own and goes through.
• Stage plays now show and export in their proper serif type. A problem that made stage-play PDF export fail and on-screen stage text fall back to a default font has been fixed.
• Importing an unusually large Fountain file no longer freezes the app. Files above 10 MB now show a clear message instead.

New

• Multi-cam sitcom scripts get continuous scene letters. Scenes are lettered A, B, C straight through the acts, assigned automatically as you add them, and the letter shows everywhere you see a scene: the editor, the scene list, notes, marks, and the scene picker. Multi-cam action and dialogue are double-spaced to match the shooting-script tradition.
• Stage-play character cues can sit centered or at the left margin. A per-document setting, so you can match the house style you’re writing for.
• The title page has a free-form credits area. Type credits the way you want them, with italics where you need them, instead of filling fixed fields.

Improved

• Dual dialogue round-trips cleanly with Final Draft. Two speakers side by side keep their column layout when you export the script and open it back up.
• Autocomplete is smarter. It pre-selects the first suggestion so Enter accepts it in one keystroke, and it now predicts names inside a dual-dialogue block too.
• Multi-cam and stage-play scripts keep their structure when you import them from Final Draft. Scene letters, multi-cam formatting, and stage setting and cast pages come through instead of flattening to a plain script.
• TV and sitcom scripts opened from a Fountain file keep their act breaks instead of collapsing the acts into action.
• Marks work from the keyboard and read aloud to a screen reader. A new Insert menu entry adds a mark without the mouse, the Keyboard Shortcuts list matches what the app actually does, and the upgrade screen is now a proper dialog.
• Typerino reloads a script you changed on another machine. When you return to a window and the file changed elsewhere through a sync folder, a clean document refreshes to the latest saved version on its own.

Fixed

• Exports keep two formatting details that used to drop: a single-word parenthetical’s opening bracket, and (CONT’D) on a character cue that resumes after a line of action on the same page.
• Reading mode now blocks edits everywhere. When a script is read-only, the toolbar, notes, and marks all respect it instead of letting a stray change through.
• Text pasted in from Final Draft no longer imports stray styling.
• The Scene Cards button for inserting a scene between two cards is now a reliable click.
• A brief connection hiccup no longer signs you out, and the “Saving…” label clears correctly even when a save is interrupted.
• The autocomplete hint no longer shows a stray Tab symbol in the character-name preview.

Improved

• Installing Typerino on Windows lets you choose where it goes. Setup now opens a short wizard with a Choose Install Location step and branded welcome and finish screens, instead of installing silently with no say in the folder.

Fixed

• Scripts in a synced folder (Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive) no longer get stuck on “Saving…”. A manual save could pin “Saving…” in the title bar indefinitely with no error. Saves complete now, and if one genuinely can’t be written you’ll see a clear “Couldn’t save” instead of a frozen indicator.
• Button and menu text sits centered on Windows. Labels were riding high against their icons; they line up now.
• The Windows installer opens cleanly on first launch. Windows no longer flags it as coming from an unknown publisher.

New

• Scene cards now toggle between Action and Notes. Action shows a read-only 3-line preview of the scene body so you can read your script from the cards view; Notes keeps the editable summary you’ve always had. New scripts open in Action; scripts with notes already written open in Notes.

Improved

• The marks panel uses the same scene-label chip as the rest of the sidebar. The label sits above the marked text now and picks up the scene’s color.
• Sidebar scene labels read one size larger across Scenes, Markers, Notes, and Cast. Action snippets in the scene rows step up to match.

Fixed

• The page counter in the toolbar reads accurately at any zoom. At zoom levels other than 1.0, the counter was outrunning the cursor; a writer on page 94 of a 120-page script saw “117 / 120.”
• Scene-card page numbers no longer flash to “p.1” on every reorder. Dropping a card in the cards view used to flash every badge to page 1 for a frame before settling.

Fixed

• The Windows installer completes on every Windows PC. The beta.1 release shipped a build that stalled mid-install on most Windows machines with a vague error about an icon file.
• The CHARACTER (CONT’D) cue reprinted at the top of a split-dialogue page follows the “unbold character names” canvas setting. Writers who turned bold cues off had been seeing a single bold name above an otherwise regular-weight page.

Improved

• Scene cards have one click target instead of two. The notes count is decoration now; clicking anywhere on the card jumps the editor to that scene’s heading.
• The “Enter to save” hint under a note’s body fades out after you’ve used it a few times. The keyboard rhythm stays the same.
• The right side of the formatting toolbar matches the left side’s hairline-divider grouping. Stats, zoom, view modes, inspector, and board now read as one consistent strip.

New

• The right side is now a single Inspector panel with Notes and Marks as tabs. One slot with two faces. The Inspector pill in the toolbar opens or switches the active tab; clicking the active tab closes the panel.
• The Board became a full workspace view. The narrow side-panel mode is gone; the Board now covers the editor canvas with room for the cards and dismisses with Esc or the close button.
• A new ⌘⇧K shortcut opens the Inspector on its Notes tab. Paired with the existing ⌘⇧M for Marks, both faces of the Inspector are one chord away.
• The left toolbar mirrors the new right side. Scenes and Cast are now two tabs in a pill, matching the Inspector’s Notes/Marks pill. Scene Cards sits next to them as a workspace-view toggle.

Improved

• Notes commit with Enter, line-break with Shift+Enter. The same idiom as Slack, iMessage, and most comments fields. The previous commit gestures (⌘Enter, Esc, click-outside) still work.
• A new note pops an undo toast. “Note added. Undo / Dismiss.” Matches the delete path’s existing toast and gives notes the same one-click recovery as the rest of the panel.
• Clicking Cast of Characters or Setting in the Scene Navigator drops your cursor in the page instead of just scrolling to it. The scene rows already worked this way; the stage-play front-matter pages now match.
• Both side panels work on phones now. The Inspector gained a mobile drawer the Scene Navigator already had, with the same overlay, focus trap, and safe-area handling.
• Esc closes either side panel. Both also close when you click the active tab in their pill.
• Settings dialog is calmer and easier to scan. Vertical rhythm, dropdown bleed, and section names all got a pass; no two headings share a label anymore.

Fixed

• The Marks and Notes panels respond instantly to a new mark, a deleted row, or Clear All. The roughly one-second lag between the gesture and the panel updating is gone.
• The per-row Jump button on Notes stays visible when you expand a card instead of disappearing the moment you commit attention to it. Row actions also rest at a soft ambient opacity instead of being invisible until hover.
• Account & Billing’s Devices section no longer jumps on load. A skeleton placeholder holds the layout while the list of devices resolves.
