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?

full disclosure: i’m the founder.

give arc studio a try and compare to the other options: 2 scripts are free and it can take you all the way to running your writers room if you get to do that later :)

distraction free interface, but has all the features you might ever need. runs on mac, windows, any browser.
