The screenwriting and production suite for producers, screenwriters and influencers.
Awards don't get you Season 02.
Retention does.
Screenburn reads your draft the way an audience watches it, scene by scene, and marks the point where attention leaks. Feature, pilot, microdrama, short, novel: every format gets its own retention read. The AI never opens your script. Free.

What the studio holds
Retention Engine
Reads your draft the way an audience watches it, scene by scene, hook by hook. Attention leaks get flagged before a viewer ever finds them.
Microdrama Market Context
CherryBowl, our catalogue of more than 82,000 vertical shows across 27 platforms, feeds trend context straight into your development choices.
Formats That Fit
Microdrama and YouTube Shorts sit beside feature, TV pilot, short film, novel, short story, and Scripted Reality. Switch format mid-draft without losing work.
The Privacy Wall
Suggestions build from your answers and your structure. The AI has no path into your pages, and Studio-level analysis asks consent first.
Guided Development
Up to 74 story questions, with around twenty more per character. The answers become load-bearing: they drive structure, scenes, and suggestions.
Screenburn Suggests
Stuck on a question? Five real works arrive as reference points, each checkable against the record. Free on every question, for every writer.
A Proper Editor
Courier Prime, automatic element detection, six custom node types, and formatting that holds up in a production office.
Writers Room
Hand Studio a brief and get a complete first pass: concept, characters, every scene drafted. Twenty a month.
Novel Import
A manuscript goes in; a scene-broken screenplay comes out. Studio converts prose without flattening it.
Watermarked Exports
Every Studio export carries a per-recipient fingerprint. A leaked script names its own leaker.
The Reader
The browser reads your script aloud, a voice for each character, at any point in the draft. Free, on every tier.
Pitch Deck
Turn a story into a deck. PDF or PowerPoint, one slide per section, in the app's own palette.
Live Collaboration
Two writers, one document, live cursors.
Where the audience leaves
Screenburn scores the opening, tracks the pace scene by scene, and marks the point where a viewer would stop. A feature gets a wider opening window and a check for second-act drag. A pilot gets a cold-open read. A microdrama gets the opening beat and the episode cliff. The score moves as you write, so you fix it in the draft, before a note arrives six weeks later.

A retention read. The ring marks the scene where the score says attention drops.
