Product Release
ForgePad has soft-launched on the Mac App Store
Published 18 May 2026 by ScriptForge Editorial
We’re excited to announce that ForgePad has now soft-launched on the Mac App Store.
ForgePad is our new macOS screenwriting app, built to give writers a clean, focused place to write scripts while also connecting directly to the wider ScriptForge platform.
The app is free to download and can be used as standard screenplay software, with professional formatting and a simple writing environment designed for screenwriters. For paying ScriptForge members, ForgePad also unlocks connected AI-powered features using your existing ScriptForge account.
That means members can log in and access tools designed to help with scene feedback, dialogue notes, story development and other screenplay analysis features directly from within the app.
ForgePad includes:
Professional screenplay formatting
Built-in AI script feedback for paying ScriptForge members
Scene and dialogue notes
Character and location cards
Beat sheet tools
Table-read simulation
Achievements for writing progress and consistency
Global leaderboards for writers
Import and export tools
Regular updates throughout the soft-launch period
This is still a soft launch, which means we’ll be pushing out frequent updates, improvements and bug fixes as we continue testing the live version. If you download ForgePad and spot anything strange, broken, confusing or just slightly cursed, please let us know.
Your feedback will help shape the app as we move towards the official public launch.
ForgePad is available now on the Mac App Store.
