Most "screenwriting on mobile" is a PDF viewer with a comment field bolted on. arqo is the actual editor — Courier Prime at industry cents, real Tab-cycling, FDX export. Every screen runs the same engine.
Script name + page. Tap to jump to scene index.
Industry margins on a 6-inch screen. Courier Prime, real cents.
Tap a chip — or just keep typing. Tab cycles like Final Draft.
Macros for INT. / EXT., (beat), and your top 5 character names.
Write a scene in line at a coffee shop. Real format, real keyboard.
· ≤ 60 chars/lineNavigationSplitView with outline alongside the page. Apple Pencil + Scribble for inline writing. Hardware-keyboard Tab/Enter — same as Final Draft. Stage Manager + multi-window.
· split view · pencil · keyboardThe full canvas — beats, arcs, scene index, character hub side-by-side.
· multi-pane workspaceNavigationSplitView puts your scene index + outline on the left, the editor on the right. One tap collapses to full-bleed writing.
Tab cycles element type. Enter promotes to the next sane element. ⌘⏎ jumps scenes. Bring a Magic Keyboard and the iPad disappears.
Hand-write a line in any element — Scribble converts to typed text in place. Sketch beats and scene cards with the Pencil; the editor stays Courier-Prime clean.
Open the same script in two windows side-by-side — outline in one, fountain in the other. Drag a scene from one to another. iPadOS handles the geometry.
Brand-voice copy pending — Isabella owns the iPad launch note. Until then, the capability grid above is the source of truth for what shipped. (Wave 1+2 only: split-view shell, hardware keyboard, Apple Pencil + Scribble, Stage Manager, outline split. Do not overclaim.)
