Tips & Threads

Screenwriting apps think in scenes. Word thinks in paragraphs. Neither thinks in pages and panels.

Purpose-built for comics

Issues, pages, panels, and spreads — the real units of a comic. Panels renumber themselves as you write.

Nine export formats

One script, tailored for every collaborator — a clean letterer PDF, an editable copy for the editor, and more.

Your files, your machine

Local-first on macOS and Windows. Your scripts stay yours. Always.

Painless editor handoff

Send your script to an editor and pull their notes back in a single click — then keep writing.

Editor Review

End the email-PDF-repeat loop.

One link turns your script into a review your editor marks up in any browser — no account, no install — and their notes flow straight back into your manuscript, pinned to the exact panels.

Smart Panels

Type the panel. Panelogue handles the rest.

As you write a panel heading, the busywork takes care of itself. Scene types, locations, and times of day autocomplete as you type. Add a layout with / — splash, wide, bleed, double-page spread — kept as clean metadata your artist reads, never clutter in your script. And every panel and page renumbers itself the moment you add, cut, or reorder.

  • ✓Autocomplete for scene type, location & time of day
  • ✓Slash picker for size, shape & treatment tags — carried into every export
  • ✓Panels & pages renumber themselves as you add, cut, or reorder

Page Health

Know when a page is too much before your artist does.

Every page is scored on the three things that actually break it: panel count, word load, and how many characters speak. Panelogue just shows you the facts — 9 panels · 287 words · 6 speakers — and flags the page Overloaded. It never tells you you’re wrong. It makes the load impossible to miss.

  • ✓Comfortable, Tight, or Overloaded — scored on every page
  • ✓Weighs panels, dialogue & caption words, and speaker count
  • ✓Live health badges right on the Page Map
✓ Comfortable · Tight ⚠ Overloaded
Cast

Write a name. They exist.

Type a character name in your script and Cast builds their entry on the spot. No forms, no imports, no setup. Just write, and your roster fills itself.

  • ✓Characters appear the moment you name them
  • ✓Add reference photos to bring every character to life
  • ✓Word counts, appearances, dialogue load: tracked live
  • ✓Synced directly with your World Building notes

Panelogue Page Map, every page of an issue with production stages and page health
Page Map

See your entire issue before your artist does.

See every page at once. Spot the bloated act, the character who vanishes for twelve pages, the quiet beat in the wrong place, before your artist ever opens the file.

  • ✓Pin reference art directly to any page
  • ✓Track stage: Rough → Pencils → Inks → Colors → Done
  • ✓Page density and health scored at a glance

Story Board

Plan in beats, not blank pages.

Break the issue into story beats and lay them out as cards. Panelogue links each beat to the script, so a card always shows its real page range, even after you rewrite and reorder. Plan the series, the issue, and the page from one board.

  • ✓Series, Issue, and Pages views with an arc-tension rail
  • ✓✦ Suggest beats scans your script and proposes cards
  • ✓Beats link to panels and survive any rewrite

Story Arc

Your story's shape, at a glance.

Tag every page with a beat: Hook, Quiet Beat, Action Peak, Reveal, Cliffhanger. Panelogue plots them as a tension curve, and fills it in automatically from your Story Board beats. See in one glance whether your third act has room to breathe, or your hook lands flat.

Editor Review

Send it to your editor. Skip the runaround.

Getting notes from an editor usually means export a PDF, email it, wait, dig comments out of a reply, re-export — again and again. Panelogue collapses that into one link. Your editor opens it in any browser — no install, no account — and marks it up right on the page, panel by panel and line by line, in a review view that works just like Panelogue. The moment they comment, their notes land back in your script, pinned to the exact panels — and they stay pinned even after you rewrite around them.

  • ✓One link (or a single self-contained file) — no install or account for your editor
  • ✓Their notes return to your script the moment they comment
  • ✓Comments stay pinned to stable panel IDs through every rewrite
