Why Screenwriters Choose Hearth

Traditional screenwriting software is feature-heavy and complex. Hearth strips away the clutter, giving you a clean writing environment focused on getting words on the page.

Perfect for:

  • First draft screenplay writing
  • Rewriting and revising scenes
  • Dialogue development
  • Scene descriptions and action lines
  • Character development and arcs

Organize Your Script Projects

Create projects for each screenplay. Within each project, use folders to organize:

  • Acts: Separate folders for Act I, II, III
  • Scenes: Individual scene documents
  • Character profiles: Backstories and arcs
  • Outlines: Beat sheets and structure notes
  • Research: Location details, technical info

Write Daily, Finish Faster

The hardest part of screenwriting is showing up every day. Hearth's streak tracking and reminders help you build the consistency that turns ideas into finished scripts.

Set a daily writing goal—even just 15 minutes—and watch your streak grow. Screenplays don't write themselves; they get written through daily practice.

Never Lose Your Work

Automatic saving means you never lose progress, even during marathon writing sessions. Version history keeps every draft, so you can experiment with different approaches without fear.

Try a completely different direction for a scene. Don't like it? Restore the previous version in seconds.

Share Drafts for Feedback

Share your screenplay with readers, writing partners, or script consultants. Create a private sharing link and collect all feedback in one place.

Getting notes from multiple readers helps you identify what's working and what needs work. Hearth makes the feedback process simple and organized.

Break Through Writer's Block

Stuck on a scene? AI tab-complete can suggest dialogue or action lines to get you unstuck. You stay in control, but the AI offers possibilities when you need a nudge.

Export When Ready

Export your screenplay in multiple formats when you're ready to submit or share. Hearth focuses on the writing process; handle final formatting in your preferred tool.

Perfect for Working Screenwriters

Whether you're:

  • Writing your first feature screenplay
  • Developing TV pilot scripts
  • Working on spec scripts
  • Rewriting for production
  • Developing multiple projects simultaneously

Hearth helps you stay organized and maintain momentum across all your projects.
