Every screenplay tool on the market helps you with the format. Cherry helps with the writing. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Cherry’s editor accepts both. Fountain-native for writers who know the format cold. Prose mode for when the scene wants to flow that way — Cherry converts it to industry-standard screenplay when you’re ready.
Cherry reads the whole draft the way a thoughtful reader would — once for story, once for shape. You’ll get notes in three voices: the industry reader doing coverage, the director thinking about staging, the lead actor asking “can I play this?”
Every note cites the page and scene it came from. Nothing hand-waved. Nothing generic.
Notes appear in the margin. Accept what helps, ignore the rest. Nothing is ever auto-applied. Cherry suggests; you decide.
Every suggestion can be accepted, dismissed, or asked to go deeper. And every change is versioned — you can always come back to what was on the page before.
Every tool in Cherry reads your pages — not template text, not your prompt, the screenplay itself. You never copy-paste into a chat.
Cherry suggests. It doesn't rewrite. Your lines stay your lines — the tool makes them hit harder.
Character profiles feed every tool. Scene notes feed every analysis. Cherry compounds over the life of a project.
It can tell you why a scene isn't landing. Not a vibes check — a read from someone who's read the room.
