Latest releases

v1.5.3 — A fix that couldn't wait

Repairs a bug in 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 that could crash Inkwell the moment it opened — caught and fixed the same day. Your scripts were never at risk. Released August 14, 2026.

v1.5.2 — Sync that respects every account

Account switching now keeps each account’s sync settings and encryption keys cleanly separate, with honest messaging when a script belongs to another account. Released August 14, 2026 — currently paused while we fix a launch issue; a corrected update is on its way.

v1.5.0 — Encrypted cloud sync

Your scripts now sync across your devices, end-to-end encrypted with a key only your devices hold — plus faithful Final Draft round-trips and a cleaner PDF import. Released August 12, 2026.

v1.4.0 — PDF import, rebuilt from the ground up

A new import engine that understands your script’s layout — dual dialogue, stage plays, and shooting scripts come in clean — plus writing streaks and condensed sides. Released July 23, 2026.

v1.3.2 — Updates greet you at launch

Inkwell now checks for updates the moment you open it, so new versions are offered before you start writing. Released July 12, 2026.

v1.3.1 — The reliability release

A deep polish pass across the whole app — dozens of fixes to writing, importing, saving, and Quill. Released July 12, 2026.

v1.3.0 — Your free week, right where you write

Your free week of Quill Pro is now offered throughout the app, so it is easy to find and start whenever you are ready. Released July 11, 2026.

v1.2.2 — Try Quill free for a week

Start with a free week of Quill Pro, no card required. Simpler pay-as-you-go pricing, and sign in with Apple or Google right in the app. Released July 10, 2026.

v1.1.5 — Better PDF imports

Scripts that used to import skewed or scrambled now come in clean, with a progress bar and the option to cancel. Released July 7, 2026.

v1.1.4 — Sign-in recovery and shooting-script imports

Finish signing in by hand if the browser ever stalls, and import shooting scripts whose scene headings carry scene numbers. Released June 26, 2026.

v1.1.3 — Smoother scrolling

Scrolling through long scripts is noticeably smoother, and the Characters sidebar no longer causes stutter. Released June 14, 2026.

v1.1.2 — Windows that just work

Reliable open/close/quit with no stray or empty windows, a clean editor titlebar, dependable file opening, and the Writing Streak card is back. Released June 7, 2026.

v1.1.1 — Polish for the smarter editor

The outline keeps up as you type, more transitions auto-format, autocomplete stops suggesting (CONT’D), and the Dock icon behaves. Released June 6, 2026.

v1.1.0 — The editor that knows screenplays

Autocomplete for character names and locations, smart Tab, auto-formatting for scene headings and transitions, industry-standard spacing, and a noticeably faster editor. Released June 6, 2026.

v1.0.5 — Quill gets attachments, credits get honest

PDF and image attachments in Quill, credit balance visible everywhere, a new Settings window, and a top-to-bottom billing audit. Released May 18, 2026.
