What is Fountain+?
Fountain+ Comic Script & Screenplay Writing Tools provides a screenplay and comic-script editor with integrated storyboard drawing and real-time panel rendering.
It uses the Mangaplay plain-text format (a superset of Fountain) to convert script markup into live storyboard layouts without template setup.
Available as a Google Docs integration, browser extensions, or a standalone web app, it automates scene, action, character and dialogue formatting as you write.
Built-in sketching and panel-arrangement tools keep script and visuals synchronized for iterative script-to-storyboard workflows.
The editor includes continuity and formatting checks and can export scripts and storyboards to standard production-ready formats for review and delivery.
