FAQ

Switching from Highland, answered

Is SceneCraft a good Highland alternative?

Yes, especially if you're not on a Mac or want AI built into the writing process. Highland (now Highland Pro) is a well-regarded Fountain-based screenwriting app, but it's Mac-only and doesn't generate scenes, run coverage, or build storyboards. SceneCraft runs in any browser and adds all three.

Does SceneCraft support Fountain like Highland does?

Yes. SceneCraft imports and exports Fountain (.fountain) files, so scripts written in Highland move cleanly into SceneCraft and back out again — you don't lose the plain-text portability Highland is built around.

Why choose SceneCraft over Highland?

Choose SceneCraft if you want AI-assisted generation, coverage, and storyboards, or if you write on Windows or Linux. Choose Highland if you're a Mac writer who wants a focused, distraction-free Fountain editor and doesn't need AI features.

Can I keep using Fountain files if I switch?

Yes — Fountain is an open format, and SceneCraft both reads and writes it, so your existing Highland scripts are portable.
