INT. THE APP - ONE STEP

Drag and drop.

It's that simple. Fine tune anything you like afterwards, and see exactly what the device gets.

The Screepub window waiting for a script: a dashed area that says Drop a screenplay PDF, with a Choose PDF button.

The same window after converting Field Station, an invented script: its title, its first page, and the question of what you read on.

INT. WHOEVER READS THESE

Built for people who read scripts.

●WRITERS

Reading your own draft on something that isn't a laptop. And when all you have is the PDF, getting the script back to edit, as Fountain or Final Draft's FDX (beta).

●ACTORS

Working from sides, at a text size you can actually read.

●EVERYONE ELSE

Anyone handed a production draft who would rather not read it hunched over a phone.

Verified on a Kindle: over USB on the models that still mount as a drive, and by email on any of them. Newer Kindles speak MTP instead and never appear in Finder, so those go by email. Over USB a Kindle gets an AZW3 that Screepub makes itself, with nothing else installed (beta, not yet tried on a Kindle); KFX looks better and is optional, needing Calibre and two other free tools; and email needs no tools at all and gets Amazon's own best layout. Kobo, tolino and reMarkable are written and code-tested, but nobody has plugged one in. The full device table is on GitHub.
Also marked beta: the AZW3 Screepub makes itself (beta); pictures from the script carried into the book, with a designed title card as its cover (beta); the FDX (beta); eject on Windows and Linux (beta on Windows and Linux); and My device isn't here, with It worked and It did not work (beta). A feature marked (beta) works in our tests, but has not been tried widely on real devices or apps yet: tell us how it goes.

INT. THE DOWNLOAD PAGE - EVERY FILE

Every download.

On a Mac, download Screepub-macOS.dmg: signed and notarized by Apple, for Macs with Apple silicon, macOS 13 or later. It updates itself. The button above is that file, and the same app runs on Windows and Linux.

On an Intel Mac, Screepub 0.9.0 is the last version. It keeps working, but it will not be offered updates. To install it, find 0.9.0 on the releases page and download its Screepub-macOS.dmg.

COMPUTERFILESTATUS
Mac Screepub-macOS.dmg Verified by a person, on an Apple silicon Mac. Reports welcome.
Linux: Debian, Ubuntu Screepub-linux-amd64.deb Built and checked automatically. Never installed by a person yet: reports welcome.
Linux: Fedora, openSUSE Screepub-linux-x86_64.rpm Built and checked automatically. Never installed by a person yet: reports welcome.
Windows, 64-bit Screepub-windows-x64-setup.exe Built and checked automatically. Never installed by a person yet: reports welcome.

Command line, any platform: see the developer page. Who has checked each file, and how far: the verification ledger.

Windows will warn you. Screepub for Windows is unsigned: it carries no code-signing certificate, so SmartScreen shows a “publisher unknown” screen the first time you run it. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Certificates cost money this project does not spend yet; this note exists so the warning is expected rather than alarming. The Windows installer also fetches Microsoft’s WebView2 runtime once if your machine has none. Converting never touches the network, on any platform.
