Every writer has been there: a blank page, a blinking cursor, and an idea that’s almost ready to be born.
And lately, it seems like every new AI tool wants to take that idea, run off with it, and write for you.
That’s not writing.
That’s automation.
So we built Inkwell — a professional screenwriting app with an integrated AI assistant named Quill — designed to help you write faster, think deeper, and stay completely in control.
Because the best co-writer isn’t the one who replaces you.
It’s the one who listens.
As an aspiring screenwriter and software engineer, I kept running into the same problem:
I loved the craft of writing, but I hated the tools.
Final Draft felt frozen in time — way too expensive, rigid, and apparently needs an upgrade every few years.
AI tools, meanwhile, wanted to generate full pages for me, in voices that weren’t mine, and required I keep copy/pasting between my editor and their website.
I wanted something in between — a tool that understood storytelling, not just syntax.
A tool that could brainstorm, suggest, and adapt — but never take over.
So I built it.
Quill is the built-in AI assistant inside Inkwell.
It doesn’t write your script for you — it works with you.
Ask Quill to:
Help rework a line of dialogue
Offer three alternate scene endings
Suggest ways to raise the emotional stakes
Every idea appears as a suggestion diff — green for additions, red for deletions.
You can approve or reject each change with a click.
No surprises. No ghostwriting. Just collaboration.
“Quill doesn’t create instead of you — it creates with you.”
Inkwell combines industry-standard formatting with modern design.
It’s lightweight, offline-friendly, and completely private.
Your scripts are stored locally on your machine.
We don’t train AI models on your writing — ever.
You own your words, your voice, and your IP, fully.
And because we believe tools should empower creativity, Inkwell is free to start.
No $250 barrier to entry.
No forced upgrades.
Just open, write, and make something you’re proud of.
✅ Conversational co-writing – Talk to Quill like a collaborator.
✅ Approve/reject every edit – You control what changes.
✅ Import/export Final Draft, Fountain, PDF – Seamlessly compatible.
✅ Offline mode – Write anywhere, anytime.
✅ Auto Formatting – Inkwell formats the script as you type. No fiddling with keyboard shorcuts.
✅ Works on Mac / Windows / Linux – Built for pros, ready for everyone.
Inkwell isn’t venture-backed or built by a faceless startup.
It’s handcrafted — by someone who loves movies, writing, coding, and the messy, creative process that makes them all so much fun.
This is just the beginning.
I’ve already working on new features like Writing Stats, improved outlining capabilities, and more powerful model integrations for Quill Pro.
But the heart of Inkwell will never change:
You, the writer, always come first.
You can download Inkwell for Mac, Windows, or even Linux today — free forever, with no credit card required.
You’ll get everything you need to start writing, plus a few free AI credits each month to try Quill.
Join us in building the future of screenwriting — one that listens, respects, and inspires.
Because your words matter.
And you deserve a tool that knows that.
