PHASE ONE, STRUCTURE

Start with the
shape of the story.

The Board is where a story finds its skeleton: acts, beats, tension, and the threads that carry through them, before a single line of dialogue gets written.

  • Arrange beats by act, track tension scene to scene, and watch the shape of your story take form.
  • Every beat carries its own threads and arc markers, so the mechanics of the plot stay visible while you build.
  • Start from a blank board, a template, or import existing work. The structure is yours to arrange.

PHASE TWO, THE PAGE

Then write every
scene, in place.

Scenes is a full, keyboard-first screenplay editor, with proper sluglines, action, dialogue, and pagination, sitting right where you planned the beat.

  • Correct screenplay formatting as you type, with live pagination that matches the page you'll export.
  • The beat you're writing stays one glance away: what happens, the conflict, what the audience learns.
  • Move between scenes in a filmstrip built for drafting, not just outlining.
SCREENPLAY OR NOVEL, YOUR CALL

The same workspace,
two kinds of page.

Switch the project type and Scenes reformats itself completely, sluglines and Courier for a script, chapters and running prose for a novel.

PHASE THREE, THE DRAFT

Export a script
that's ready to send.

When the draft is ready, it leaves clean, formatted to industry standard, in the format whoever's reading it actually needs.

  • Export to PDF, Fountain, Final Draft, or formatted text, pick the format your reader expects.
  • Title pages, page numbers, and production tools like watermarking and scene numbers, built in.
  • What you see while writing is what comes out the other end. No surprise reflow at export.

THREADS & ARC

The throughlines that
hold it all together.

Tension and character arc, tracked as one continuous line, so you can feel the shape of the story, not just read a list of beats.

In beta

Free, and still being built

You're trying it early. Some edges are rough, and cloud sync is on the way. Feedback shapes what's next.

No lock-in

Open formats, always

PDF, Fountain, and Final Draft export mean your script is never stuck inside one app.

EVERY TOOL, IN ONE WORKSPACE

There's more under the hood.

Beyond the Board and the page, a set of tools built specifically for keeping a long story straight.

Import from Fountain, FDX, or plain text

Bring an existing draft in. TrameWeaver reads .fountain, .fdx (Final Draft), and plain text, and breaks it into beats and scenes automatically.

WHERE IT STARTED

About TrameWeaver.

The name

Two French words, fused. Trame is French for the structural backbone of a story: the underlying framework, the core chronological sequence of events, the logical thread that holds a narrative together before the fine details are added. TrameWeaver: the tool that helps a writer weave their trame into a finished story.

pronounced /tʁam ˈwiːvər/ — "trahm" (rhymes with calm) + "weaver" (as in English)
Why it exists

It was created by someone who loves stories, storytelling, and screenwriting. TrameWeaver began as a tool built for a specific feature film project. After looking for something that worked in exactly the right way and not quite finding it, the idea became simple: build the tool the way it should feel to use.

The project started from a personal creative need, then gradually grew into something that could be useful for other writers too.
