Users can collaborate in real time with comments, presence awareness, permissions and shareable read-only links. Script revisions, feedback and approvals have a history. The cloud product runs in a browser, while Celtx Screenplay is listed for Windows computers and Android devices; mobile browsers include iPhone Safari support. The free plan allows one project, and the Writer plan supports up to three. Paid Writer billing is $11.24 a month when billed yearly, and a seven-day trial is listed. The maker is based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and was founded in 2000.

TeXstudio is a desktop writing environment for creating LaTeX documents on Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is free under the GPL v2, which allows users to use and modify it. Editing tools include multi-cursors, auto-completion, more than 1,000 mathematical symbols, bookmarks, link overlays, assistants, image drag and drop, and table formatting. For reviewing documents, it provides structure view, code folding, syntax highlighting, spellchecking, grammar and reference checking, and displays for LaTeX errors and warnings. Its build system supports LaTeX compilers, index, bibliography and glossary tools, Latexmk, detection of multiple runs, and custom program execution. An integrated PDF viewer offers near word-level syncing, plus live previews for formulas and code. Setup can detect MikTeX, TeX Live, Ghostscript, and Standardlatex, and the program supports SVN. Collaborative editing through teamtype is available on OSX and Linux. On Windows 11, the Visual Studio runtime is required; there is no release for macOS 10.x, though compilation from source or with Homebrew is possible.
