A screenplay is a .fountain file

Calmly Script saves a screenplay as a .fountain file, and only as that. Fountain is a plain-text format for screenplays: the file holds your words, plus a few characters that say what a line is when the words alone do not.

INT. LAUNDROMAT - NIGHT

A dryer thumps. JUNE folds a shirt.

JUNE
Not mine. Not tonight.

Open the file in any text editor and this is what you see: the heading, the action, the name in capitals over the speech. Nothing else is hidden in it.

Other apps can open it

Because it is plain Fountain, a script written in Calmly Script opens in other Fountain screenwriting apps, such as Highland, Slugline or Beat, and theirs open here. When a line needs a character to say what it is (a full stop before a heading that does not start with INT., an @ before a name in mixed case), Calmly Script writes the standard Fountain character, so the other app reads the line the same way.

For Final Draft, Word or a PDF, use File › Export and File › Import. Those are copies in another format: the .fountain file stays the one you work on (see Exporting and Importing).

What is in the file

Everything you can see on the page, exactly as you typed it:

• every element, with the Fountain characters that mark it, shown dimmed on screen where they are in the file;
• the blank lines between paragraphs, as many as you left;
• the title page, as the Key: value lines at the top of the script;
• the document type (screenplay, stage play, sitcom or manuscript), as a Type: line on the title page. It is written in English, like Type: Stage Play, so the file opens the same way in any language, and it is never printed on the cover. Format › Document type… is what writes it (see Document types);
• notes in double brackets, [[like this]], and anything switched off between /* and */;
• bold, italic and underline, as **, * and _ around the words;
• scene numbers and page breaks.

What is not

What belongs to the app rather than to the script stays in the app:

• your Settings: the theme, the size of the text on screen, the paper size and whether scene headings print in bold, and the rest;
• the earlier versions of the document, in File › Version history, and the copies of closed documents, in File › Backups of closed documents (see Version history and backups).

So a script you send to someone arrives with its words, its notes and its document type, and opens with their own settings.
