What’s New in Inkwell for the browser

The latest improvements to the Inkwell editor at screenplay.new. The browser editor updates itself: when a new version is ready, a bar at the top of the page offers to reload.

November 2026: Your Inkwell Library

Released November 2026

New

  • Your scripts on every device. Sign in and new scripts are saved to your Inkwell Library, so you can pick them up in the Mac app and read them on your iPhone or iPad. Open File → Open… to see every script as a title-page tile with its page count and when it was last edited, plus Recently deleted.
  • Keep it on your device if you prefer. A script can stay on this device instead, and nothing about it is uploaded. Add to Library makes a separate Library copy of one whenever you want, and Download a Copy gives you a file back.
  • Writes offline, saves when you’re back. The editor shows when a script is saved on this device only, and saves it to your Library when you reconnect.
  • One writer at a time. If a script is open on another device, you see it read-only with Take over.

November 13, 2026 — Drag your outline, and never lose your place

Released November 13, 2026

New

  • Rearrange by dragging. Drag a scene in the outline to move it, with everything in it, to a new spot. Prefer the keyboard? ⌥↑ and ⌥↓ do the same. Undo puts it back exactly.
  • Sections you can see and edit. Section lines show their # marks and synopses their =. Add or remove a # to move a section up or down a level.
  • Your place stays marked. When you click into Quill, Find or a menu, a quiet, steady caret stays where your cursor was in the script.
  • Notes on a script you just brought in. After you import a Fountain, Final Draft or PDF script, Inkwell offers to ask Quill for notes on it. Nothing is sent until you press send.
  • Find, then replace. The Find bar has a switch to show Replace, so you don’t need a separate shortcut.

Improved

  • Clearer notices. Messages such as “a new version is ready” or “your browser is low on storage” now appear as a single bar at the top of the page, one at a time, most important first.
  • Your writing streak counts here too. When you’re signed in, time you spend writing in the browser counts toward the same streak as the Mac app. You’ll find it in the account menu.

Fixed

  • Locked scene numbers stay locked. Retyping a heading or changing EXT. to INT. no longer drops the scene’s locked number.
  • Lines stay what you made them. A line you deliberately set as action, like THE END, no longer turns into a character name when you edit the lines around it.
  • Sections open the way you saved them. Section depth and titles come back exactly as written from .ink, Fountain and Final Draft files.

November 12, 2026 — Inkwell in your browser

Released November 12, 2026

New

  • Write in any browser. Open screenplay.new and start typing: no download, no account. Inkwell formats scene headings, action, character names and dialogue as you write, on pages that break the way Final Draft breaks them.
  • Your scripts stay yours. Scripts are saved to files on your computer where your browser allows it, and kept in your browser otherwise. Help ▸ Where Is My Script Saved? tells you which.
  • Open what you already have. Import Fountain, Final Draft and PDF scripts, and export PDF, Fountain and Final Draft. .ink files move freely between the browser and the Mac app.
  • Outline, Find, themes and Focus Mode. The outline shows your acts, sections and scenes with each scene’s length in eighths.
  • Quill, with three free questions. Try the optional writing partner without an account. Quill knows which scene and line your cursor is on.
  • Print and sides. Print your script or a character’s sides, with a bold name, yellow highlight or margin bar.
  • Install it, and write offline. Install Inkwell as an app from the File menu and keep writing without a connection.
