The team can answer you on your own ticket
Now, when the StoryFlow team writes back about something you asked for, you read it on your ticket under Mine. You hear of it in your next update email too.
AI? We start with Hi: Human intelligence.
Every feature here was asked for by a writer, and crafted in-house by our cofounders. To add an idea, request access here.

The Advisor knows the studio exports PDF and Word
Asked about a PDF, the Advisor could say one was not available yet. Now it knows where to find export: Share, then Export, for a PDF with its optional watermark or a Word file.
Final Draft revision marks come in with the file
Now you can bring in a Final Draft file that carries revision marks, and the marks come with it. Track Revisions turns on in the file's own color, the Draft stays exactly as the file came, and the marks show on the page, in a PDF, on the project link and in the file you send back to Final Draft.
Your tickets say when they were asked and shipped
Now Mine shows each thing you asked for with the day you asked and the day it shipped. A report you sent from the studio shows you its details, and only you.
The feedback pages say when StoryFlow is updated
Now the feedback pages tell you when a newer StoryFlow is out, with the same Reload bar the studio has. Nothing reloads until you press it.
Your vote follows a ticket that joins another
When something you asked for turns out to be the same as another ticket, the two are joined and your vote moves with it. Joining never takes away a vote you already gave.
Take back a Structure Proposal you accepted
Now, if a Structure Proposal is on your pages and you would rather it were not, Take it back puts your pages as they were. Its marks come off, the cards it made go, your own cards go back to the drawer, and the Proposal is offered again.
Agreeing with the Analysis keeps your own mark
Pressing Agree used to wipe out the mark you had placed by hand. Now your own mark is kept behind the agreement, with what you said, who made it and when, and it comes back if you change your mind.
A Structure Proposal can lay out cards too
Now a Structure Proposal can offer the cards that organize your story, such as Sequences and Reminder cards, along with the Anchor Beats it would place. You see it all as one offer and answer it with one press.
Discover a character by talking it through
A guided way to find who a person is in your story, starting from what you intend rather than from what is on the page. The pages then show where that person is evident and where not yet.
The Board, cards pinned and tied with string
A wall for your cards. Pin them where you like, tie related ones together with string, and drag a card onto a beat or scene in the Structure. On a phone you can see a preview today.
Sign in with a passkey or your phone number
Signing in today is by an emailed code or link. It would be easier to use the passkey already on your phone or laptop, or a text to your phone number. This is planned for the next StoryFlow app rather than the current studio.
Hand a project to another writer
Whoever brings a script in owns the project for good. It would help to offer ownership to a co-writer, who accepts it, with both told. And when an owner cannot be reached, the writer named as author could ask to take it over.
A watermark for every reader in a production
When a production sends the script out, each person gets their own copy, with their name across the pages and a code at the foot. Scanning the code always opens the latest circulated version, so nobody works from old pages, and you can see which version each person has.
A quiet StoryFlow mark on a free plan's PDF
On the free plan, you can choose to put a small "Made with StoryFlow" mark at the foot of the pages you send out, with a code a reader can scan to see your writer's page. It is off unless you turn it on, and it never covers your words.
Beats for each episode of a series
Writing a series, each episode needs its own shape: its own Anchor Beats, a pilot that resolves its story while leaving the season's threads open, and a way to see how the episodes add up across the season. The Structure would show every episode's beats, and the season's, side by side.
Guide me through my script, section by section
“If it’s called StoryFlow, I’d want it to not only help my script flow and work better in the final draft, but also help guide me section by section so I can flow through the process seamlessly.”
Show how a produced screenplay handled a moment like mine
In a conversation with the team, a writer asked whether the studio could point them to how a produced screenplay handled a moment they are struggling with. Building tension from an unseen threat, for example, they might be shown a scene, a passage or a line of dialogue from Alien.
An Advisor that talks like a writing friend
“I wanted to see if the AI could respond to me in a more conversational tone, rather than so formal… like two writing friends having coffee, so once I prompted, it was able to do that.”
A simple tutorial for your first visit
“I was rather lost on how to use StoryFlow. I think a simple tutorial or more intuitive nav system would help me a great deal. It’s a bit of a tyranny of choice with all the options, and until I understand how to use them, I remain unsure where to look or how to get started.”
Say what each color in the Flow stands for
“I understood the thickness of the ribbons, but wasn’t sure what the different colors represented regarding my script.”
