About Beat

Beat was created for personal needs as every other screenwriting app kind of sucked. Beat might suck too, but does it at its own terms.

The app is totally free and will remain so. We need more free creative software, created out of pure passion, to enable new, aspiring artists from different backgrounds.

If you want to support the development you can subscribe to Patreon.

Beat was originally based on Writer, a Fountain screenplay editor by Hendrik Noeller, but everything has since been rewritten. The source code is released under GNU Public License, which means it will always remain open and public. And anyone can help with the development!

What is Fountain?

Fountain is a plain-text screenplay format. It allows you to write screenplays in any text editor on any device, and because it’s pure text, it’s portable and future-proof.

It might be a bit scary when coming from WYSIWYG editors, but in essence, Fountain is designed to “just work” — if you type some text that looks like screenplay, it becomes screenplay. Beat expands Fountain syntax a little, but still keeps it compatible with other editors.

Beat has an editable Tutorial to get you started with Fountain!
