In their own words
DubScript
DubScript is an Android screenplay editor for film, television, and online shorts. It reads Final Draft .fdx, Fountain, and Trelby scripts, then exports to PDF, .fdx, HTML, or print. Writers can edit plain text while the app formats screenplay indentation, page breaks, and numbering, and it also supports Markdown files. Tools include character and slugline suggestions, spell-check, keyboard shortcuts, scene numbering, notes, and dual dialogue. A Wellness Exam identifies possible Fountain or screenplay formatting issues. Review features include speech playback, statistics, scene and character reports, a dialogue browser, and draft comparison. Scripts can stay on the device for offline work or be saved to Drive and other cloud services. The free plan includes unlimited scripts and scenes, with ads in write mode and some screens.
Story Architect
Story Architect is a writing app for screenplays, comics, plays, books and other story forms, organized around a shared project bible. Its Free plan allows unlimited projects and documents per project, with basic writing, character, location and world tools. Pro adds mind maps, an image gallery, presentations, a corkboard, a timeline and five AI credits per month when billed annually. The AI assistant can paraphrase, summarize, expand or shorten text, translate, insert text between paragraphs, or generate text from a prompt; these actions use credits. Creator adds real-time collaboration and 5 GB of cloud storage. Story Architect supports offline use on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. It imports KIT Scenarist, Final Draft, Celtx, Trelby, TXT, ODT, DOCX and Fountain files, and exports DOCX, PDF, FDX and Fountain. Desktop-to-mobile project synchronization remains in development, with manual file transfer documented instead. Pro costs $4.17 a month billed annually; Creator costs $8.34 a month billed annually.
