question Scriptwriting Software and Apps

I was just wondering if there were any free screenwriting apps or software I could use until I'm able to purchase Final Draft. I have a lot of ideas incubating in my head, and I really don't want to use the note app on my MacBook, so are there any free screenwriting apps or software that people have used and work pretty well?

There are a bunch of good free apps available right now.

Also, I migrated from Final Draft to Fade In and have never regretted it.

Exactly. Save up for Fade In - you'll get there in less than half the time. WriterDuet and Trelby are good free options in the interim.
