Readable text. Familiar page numbers.
Text adapts to the screen while page markers keep production references close. PDF markers come from the original document; FDX and Fountain pages are calculated from the screenplay layout.

A. In the working day
Where Abby
comes in.
For actors, directors and crew reading, rehearsing and making notes, whether they have a desk, a tablet or a few minutes between setups.
- 01
Bring in the script
Import a PDF, Final Draft or Fountain file. Abby recognises the scenes and characters and builds an index you can navigate.
- 02
Read it your way
Adjust the reading style, focus on a character’s scenes, search the script and add notes or highlights. Original PDF page references stay alongside the text.
- 03
Pick up where you left off
Use iCloud to keep the library, notes and reading position across your devices. Keep revisions together or export an EPUB for an ebook reader.
B. The details
A few things
worth getting right.
Find the scene that matters
Use the scene index, search or character filters to reach the passage you need. Character colours make a busy page easier to follow.
Notes that belong to a version
Annotate and highlight as you read. Keep script versions together and see added or changed text against the preceding revision; PDF comparisons are approximate.
Let the script travel
Synchronise through iCloud or export an EPUB. Page references and detected text watermarks can travel with the exported book.
C. The practical bit
