ScriptJedi is a free, browser-based screenwriter. Open the page and start typing — Tab cycles element types, Enter moves to the next logical one, and your script comes out in industry-standard format: 12pt Courier, proper indents for scene headings, action, character cues, parentheticals, dialogue and transitions.
Sign in with a free account and your screenplays autosave to the cloud as you type, so you can pick up a draft on any device. Group episodes or drafts into projects. Prefer to stay offline? Everything also works with plain local files — no account needed.
Keep numbered versions of the same screenplay under one name: make a new version and the draft you were on is frozen as v1 while you write v2, v3 and so on, with every version a click away. Restructuring is just as direct — drag a scene heading and the whole scene travels with it.
Scripts are stored as Fountain, the open plain-text screenplay format, so your work is never trapped in a proprietary file. Export a correctly paginated PDF — title page, dialogue (MORE)/(CONT'D) breaks and all — in one click.

Yes. Margins, element indents, spacing and pagination follow the conventions used by professional screenwriting software: US Letter, 12pt Courier, a 1.5" left margin and 55 lines per page.
