Screenwriting software is a word processor designed specifically writing film and television scripts. While similar to document creation, screenwriting software includes auto-formatted page layout functionality which provides the correct format for a television or film script. Additionally, screenwriting software provides features that streamline the process of scriptwriting, with tools such as scene ordering, character notes, story outlining, and production notes.

Screenwriting software is most commonly used by scriptwriters, film producers, showrunners, and any creative department that is involved with the production of a script. Screenwriting software can be integrated with video editing software to streamline the entire video production process.

To qualify for inclusion in the Screenwriting category, a product must:

Provide auto-formatting for standard screenplay formats
Include additional screenwriting functionalities such as scene ordering, character notes, and team collaboration
Offer a paid subscription model or a proprietary option downloaded directly on to a computer
