By
Charlie Pratt
More crust than filling. Mostly air.
Summary
Typerino is a screenwriting and playwriting app built by Charlie, a software designer who wanted a tool that feels great and looks great for writing scripts. It features industry-standard formatting for movies, television, and stage, with a clean writing surface and no perceptible delay. The app uses a "what you type is what gets exported" approach (no Markdown or syntax), is available on Mac and Windows, and offers a free 14-day trial followed by a subscription of $11.99/month or $99/year.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledI love the craft and I've spent a lot of time inside the existing tools.
I've spent my career as a software designer & builder, so naturally I built my own.
The writing engine is designed from the ground up around a single goal: that it should feel great and look great.
Typing should feel crisp and delightful. No perceptible delay between thought and word on the page, even in a feature-length script.
Industry-standard formatting is there, the writing surface is clean and quiet.
