| - | |||
| - | Formats screenplays as you write, with all the common features of a | ||
| - | screenplay authoring application. | ||
| - | |||
| - | GPL | ||
| - | |||
| - | An open licensed application that relies on open source technology. Unlike | ||
| - | competitors, it makes no attempt to lock you out of your own data, or to | ||
| - | sell a cloud subscription to you. | ||

| - | A free word processor for screenplays, Trelby is an application with all the | ||
| - | usual features of a screenwriting application, including a character name | ||
| - | database, basic scene reporting, PDF exporting, and more. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The advantage to using a dedicated screenwriting application is that all | ||
| - | standard formatting is applied automatically for you, with minimal amounts of | ||
| - | interaction. Character names are remembered for you and auto-completion | ||
| - | simplifies concerns, for instance, about whether you called that day player | ||
| - | "Evil Henchman" or just "Henchman". | ||
| - | |||
| - | Of all the applications in multimedia, screenwriting applications are the least | ||
| - | likely to require cross-compatibility. Unless you are collaborating with | ||
| - | another writer, you will probably never send out the project file. Since Trelby | ||
| - | can export to PDF, it's probably everything you need in a screenwriting | ||
| - | application. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Trelby is also Fountain compatible. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Trelby is a Python application and can be installed from slackbuilds.org. | ||
