New The PreList Editor
Rewrite Where Your Notes Live.
A screenplay page in The PreList Editor. The writer types a new speech: Mara, “This time I have the notes to prove it.” A note from Indie, an indie critic, then arrives on page 12: “Eddie has not looked up once. Let him look up on this line.”
A proper screenplay editor inside the workspace, included free on every plan. Bring a draft in from any tool, or start one from scratch, and rewrite with your notes right beside the page. When the new draft is ready, analyse it again without leaving the room.
- Import PDF, Final Draft (.fdx), or Fountain, and it opens fully editable
- Persona notes anchored to your pages, with live format and spelling checks
- Re-analyse the new draft in one click and see exactly what changed
- Export competition-ready PDF, Final Draft, or Fountain, title page included

Frequently Asked.
How secure is The PreList?
We use industry-leading encryption. Your scripts stay private, timestamped, and are never used for AI training. You retain full ownership.
How quickly do I get my analysis?
Within seconds. Upload, and your full breakdown across 11 core metrics and 51 subcriteria is ready before you've made a coffee.
Can I write my screenplay in The PreList?
Yes. The PreList Editor is a full screenplay editor built into every script, included free on every plan. You get proper screenplay formatting, autosave with snapshots, your feedback in the margins, and competition-ready PDF, Final Draft, and Fountain exports.
Can I trust the feedback?
Our proprietary system scores your script across 11 core metrics and 51 subcriteria against industry standards to give you clear, actionable insights. Not vague impressions.
Will AI replace human readers?
No, and we wouldn't want it to. The PreList helps you spot the issues before you pay for human feedback, so when you do get expert notes, they're focused on what really matters.
Is there a free trial? Do I need a card?
Starter is permanently free with no card required. Pro includes a 30-day free trial. A card is required up front, but you can cancel anytime within those 30 days without being charged.
