Stay in the scene.
A screenwriting app for Mac that keeps you immersed in the story, from your first line to your final draft.
Everything else takes care of itself.
Industry standard formatting. Scene headings, action and dialogue fall into shape as you type. Pages break where they should.
Autocomplete that knows your script. Characters, scene headings and transitions finish as you type, learned from the pages you've already written.
Notes that hold their place. Leave a comment on any line. Rewrite around it and the note stays put.
Every scene, one glance away. Your outline sits along the right edge. Jump to any heading, or straight to any page.
Bring your Final Draft scripts. Open an .fdx and Tella makes it a project of its own. Your original stays untouched.
Exactly what you wrote. PDF export runs on the same engine that draws the screen. Page for page, identical.
Questions, answered.
Because screenwriters and playwrights have spent too long adapting their work to legacy tools, paying again for upgrades, and working around software that gets in the way. Tella is a native Mac editor built for one purpose: making writing feel fast, simple, and dependable. No feature arms race. No unnecessary complexity. Just a tool that opens quickly, stays out of the way, and helps you get from the first page to the last.
