Inkwell
Inkwell is an AI-native screenwriting software designed for screenwriters, positioned as a “screenwriter’s integrated development environment (IDE).” It integrates version control, parallel management of multiple drafts, and auditable AI collaboration capabilities—supporting the entire workflow, from inline suggestions to Agent Mode.
Inkwell is an AI-native screenwriting tool specifically designed for screenwriters, offering industry-standard automatic formatting, structured difference comparisons based on scenes and dialogue lines, intelligent recognition of 16 types of script elements (such as scene numbers, character names, and dialogue), along with real-time Ghost Text suggestions, skill invocation via the command panel (e.g., Dialogue Pass), scene navigation shortcuts (⌘⇧.), and focus mode (⌘⇧S)—all delivering developer-level editing experiences. All AI modifications appear as suggestions, allowing users to accept or reject them individually, ensuring that creative sovereignty remains firmly in the author’s hands. Its underlying architecture employs a unified structured model, supporting save points, AI skills, production tools, and collaborative features. It also enables bidirectional import/export between Fountain and Final Draft (FDX) formats and can export PDFs, guaranteeing long-term readability and cross-platform portability of scripts.
Features
Ghost Text Inline Suggestions: Generates contextually appropriate dialogue or plot prompts in real time as you type (e.g., “What if the ending was just the setup?”). Press the right arrow key to accept or Esc to cancel; none of the suggestions are applied automatically.
Scene-Level Difference Comparison (diffs by scene and dialogue): Intuitively displays additions, deletions, and minor dialogue adjustments for each scene (e.g., “−She waits. +She turns toward the door.”), eliminating traditional line-number confusion and facilitating long-term revisions and multi-person reviews.
Use cases
AI-Assisted Screenwriting: Provides real-time suggestions during the writing process, including scene endings and dialogue polish, supporting everything from single-sentence completions to full-scene rewrites.
Multi-version script management: Use the ‘Draft lines’ feature to save parallel branches of scripts with different endings or styles, without needing to duplicate files.
Professional production collaboration: Utilize Blue revision pages and scene/dialogue-level comparison tools to ensure your team always works with the latest script versions.
