Frequently asked questions

Is Wriffen really free?

Yes, absolutely. The core editor is completely free with no watermarks or feature restrictions. You get professional-grade screenplay formatting, file management, and FDX import/export. We believe every writer deserves access to quality tools, which is why the professional editor is free for life, not as a promotion, but as a commitment.

How is Wriffen different from Final Draft?

We focus on what matters: your writing experience. While the "industry standard" spends development time on features like adding emojis to scripts, we build for actual writing workflows. Wriffen handles complex tasks like dual dialogue and revision history with modern ease because it’s designed by someone who actually writes scripts.

Who created Wriffen?

Wriffen was created by Aaron Preacher (a working screenwriter) and Chase Preacher (a professional programmer). We're brothers who combined our skills to create software that actually serves a writer's needs. This isn't corporate software; it's a tool created by someone who lives the day-to-day reality of screenwriting and his much smarter brother.

Can I import my existing scripts?

Yes. Wriffen supports import and export for multiple common screenwriting formats including PDF and FDX, so you can easily move between different tools or share your work with industry professionals. Ready to switch? Simply import your existing scripts and start writing.

Do you use my scripts to train AI?

Absolutely not. Your creative work is exclusively yours. We will never use your scripts to train AI models, nor will we ever share them with third parties for that purpose. Your privacy and the complete ownership of your creative output are our bedrock principles.
