Drafts
Instead of Script_FINAL_v7 there is one project file: Scriptloom stores every change within a fraction of a second, even if the power fails, and Ctrl+S keeps a version you can always go back to.
| Time | Kept by | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 10:43 | autosave | saved |
| 10:47 | autosave | saved |
| 11:02 | Ctrl+S | reading draft for Lena |
| 11:05 | power cut | nothing lost |
Kept on: your computer. Scriptloom sends nothing to the internet.

Frequently asked questions: INT. QUESTION TIME – DAY
YOU
Does Scriptloom cost anything?
SCRIPTLOOM
The current preview is free.
YOU
(suspicious)
Why does Windows warn me during installation?
SCRIPTLOOM
The preview is not digitally signed yet, so Windows shows a SmartScreen notice. Click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. Scriptloom will be signed before its first stable release.
YOU
Where are my projects stored?
SCRIPTLOOM
On your computer, in your user folder under AppData\Local in the folder net.scriptloom.desktop. Each project is a file of its own. Scriptloom sends nothing to the internet.
YOU
Can I export my scripts?
SCRIPTLOOM
Yes, as PDF, Final Draft (FDX), Fountain or text. Scriptloom reads Final Draft, Fountain, Word, PDF and projects from Celtx: scripts, characters, elements and sketches come along.
YOU
(hopeful)
Is there a version for macOS or Linux?
SCRIPTLOOM
Not yet. Scriptloom is built on technology that runs there too. Windows comes first.
