One film, moving forward.
From the first scrap of an idea to the final call sheet. Every part of Straft talks to every other part, so you never retype anything.
Ideate
Idea Vault
The Idea Vault holds everything about the film before it has a shape: notes, images, links, files, voice notes and video. Nothing needs a title, a folder or a category.
Story and Beat Board
Story opens on a plain Story page for free writing. The Beat Board next to it holds acts, sequences, beats and scene cards that you drag until the story works.
Moodboards
A moodboard is a free canvas of images, notes and links. Make one for the whole film or one for a scene, and export it as a PDF for the people you work with.
Write
Screenplay Editor
Type a screenplay with eight elements: Scene Heading, Action, Character, Parenthetical, Dialogue, Transition, Shot and General. Tab and Enter move you to the element that comes next.
Drafts and Revisions
Save named drafts as the script grows, compare any two of them, then lock a shooting draft and track revisions the way a production expects.
Import and Export
Import a screenplay from Final Draft, Fountain, Word, PDF or plain text, and see what will arrive before anything changes. Export the same way, with no branding on your script.
Straft AI
Straft AI is optional. After a one-time download of about 1.2 GB it runs on your computer, answers questions about your project, and suggests changes. Nothing changes until you press Apply.
Plan
Script Breakdown
Choose the screenplay draft production is based on, then tag what each scene needs. Suggestions help, and you accept or reject every one.
Cast, Crew and Locations
Cast, crew and locations live in the Production workspace, linked to the scenes they belong to, so the schedule and call sheets already know who and where.
Shot Lists and Storyboards
Shot lists per scene and storyboard panels you draw or import, kept next to the script they come from.
Shooting Schedule
Drag scenes from the Unscheduled pool into shooting days. The schedule checks availability and points out conflicts, and it never moves a scene on its own.
Shoot
Call Sheets
Create a call sheet from a day on the schedule. Scenes, cast and locations are filled in for you; you add call times and the practical notes.
Sides and Daily View
Sides gather the scenes of one shooting day in screenplay format. Daily View shows everything about that day on one page.
Reports and Budget
Six production reports drawn from the project, and a light budget that compares what you planned with what you spent.
Projects, Backups and Recovery
Your work is saved as you type. Deleted items wait in Recently Deleted. Undo works across the project. Backups are files you keep wherever you like.

One app for the whole film, on your own computer. One payment, no subscription.
