Trelby Screenwriting Program

#1 Post by juverax »

Trelby Screenwriting Program; free and opensource https://www.trelby.org/

The program description does not mention portability, and I have not tested it, so we don't know if this application is portable.

But because Trelby is free and open source and Softpedia has no record for it, I believe it deserves a mention here at TPFC, because in addition TPFC does have a screenwriting app (I may be wrong).

From the Trelby web site:

A free, multiplatform, feature-rich screenwriting (screenplay editor) program!
Trelby is simple, fast and elegantly laid out to make screenwriting simple. It is infinitely configurable.

Trelby is free software, that you can contribute to.
