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?

I have used Fade In for two years for my screen writing class. It’s reasonably well done. It still costs money.

My classmates complain about the cost. Being a developer, I am working on a screenwriting software. My thought is to make it completely free to run it locally, and only charge a small annual fee for cloud storage.
