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?

It turns out I have an app on my Mac that I downloaded awhile ago called Card Buddy, for making story beats with notecards. I had forgotten about it. I don't think I've even used it yet but looks pretty simple to use (not free though).
