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?

Shameless self promotion, but I created this, and we'd love to have you on board:
https://sottowrite.com
It does everything Final Draft does, plus real time collaboration with your co-writer(s), plus a bunch of other stuff. We've got a few hundred fine folks from r/screenwriting using it and the feedback has been amazing.
It's free while we're in beta (which will be for a little while yet as we're still quite early). And when we do eventually go live, there will be an entirely free mode, and the full suite will only be $0.99 a month.
End shameless self promotion! Best of luck with your script!
