What Porcupine is
Porcupine is a free screenwriting application designed for everyone. It runs on any device through the browser and needs no registration and no download, so you can open it and start writing right away. Its main feature is automatic formatting: as you type, the tool shapes the text into proper screenplay form so you can concentrate on storytelling instead of layout. Porcupine also keeps your files stored on your own computer rather than on a server, which it presents as a way to protect your privacy. When you are ready to share or print, you can export the screenplay from the tool. It is a simple, focused writing space for movie scripts, television drama and web video work.

What to watch out for
Porcupine is a free tool, so its availability and feature set may change over time. It focuses on core screenwriting rather than advanced production features such as full collaboration or detailed revision tracking, so large professional productions may need extra tools alongside it. Because your files stay stored on your own device, keeping backups is your responsibility, and losing the device or clearing browser data could put your work at risk. It is also worth confirming the current terms on the official site, since free tools can adjust what they offer without notice.
