LINED. reads the script under your coverage line and tells you which lines you haven't shot — at 3pm, while the company is still standing there. No other lining app checks your coverage. This one does.
A line of dialogue nobody shot. You catch it at wrap, or the editor catches it in three weeks, and either way somebody is paying for a reshoot and it has your name on it. Not because you were careless — because ink can't count, and you were watching the floor.
Straight for on camera, wavy for heard-not-seen. Same gesture, same page, same habit you built over years. Nothing new to learn.
Every line is tied to a setup, a scene, and the dialogue it crosses. The app can see what the page can't.
4 lines with no coverage in sc 14. That's the whole product. Everything else is paperwork.

These are good tools and we're not pretending otherwise — ScriptE/S has 5,000 users and does things we can't yet, Skarratt has been the standard for years, and Scriptation has an Emmy. What none of them do is read the script and tell you what has no line through it. That's the one row that made us build this.
Timecode off the slate. Multiple cameras, each circled on its own. Pickups and series takes. Continuity photos attached to the take instead of buried in your camera roll. Open a Final Draft file or a PDF — and when new pages land, your lines follow the dialogue they were drawn against. It all works with no signal, all day.
Lined pages, facing pages, the editor's log, the daily progress report, and an ALE for editorial — all from the line you already drew. You never type anything twice.
An iPad on the floor, a MacBook or Windows laptop at the cart, a desktop at home for the paperwork. One address, one login, no separate versions to buy — and it installs to the home screen or the dock on any of them.
iPad on the floor, laptop at the cart, desktop at home for the paperwork. The script never leaves your device — export the whole show, photos and all, whenever you like.
Every Script Supervisor works differently — which hand holds the pencil, which numbers matter, how much page you want to see. Most software decides that for you. This one doesn't.
Scenes, setups, takes, the setup card, continuity, the log, the day's numbers — drag any panel to the left, the right, or a band across the bottom. Hide the ones you never open.
Drag the bars between panels. Drag column edges in the log. Set the interface size and the page zoom separately, so the script can be big while the numbers stay small.
Every shortcut can be remapped. Coming from Skarratt or ScriptE? Set the keys to whatever your hands already know, and stop fighting new muscle memory on day one.
Mirror the whole layout in one tap. Choose from sixteen palettes, or set a different line color for every camera angle.
Arrange it once, name it, and it's yours — Handheld day, Two cameras, Wrap. Switch between them in one tap, per show.
Nothing here is a preference buried in a settings screen. Press ADJUST and the whole interface becomes draggable, then press it again to save.
Every default in LINED. came out of an argument about how the job is actually done — where the line goes, what the wavy one means, which numbers matter at wrap and which are noise. Hannah Rose Lynch, a working Script Supervisor, is a co-founder, not a consultant. If something in here is wrong about the craft, it doesn't ship.
Try the whole thing free, on a real show, for as long as you like. Pay when it's earned it. Students get three months free — sign in with your school address.
You're never locked out of a day you've already worked. If a license runs out mid-show, everything stays put and stays exportable. We're not going to hold your paperwork hostage on a shooting day.
Not yet. It's new, and we'd rather say so than pretend. That's why it's free to try on a real day and why your work exports at any moment.
Your day lives in the browser on that device. Press Save file and you have the whole project — photos included — wherever you keep it. Do that at wrap, like a slate.
No. Run it alongside for one day and see which one catches something. That's the honest test and it costs you nothing.
Timecode read automatically off the camera — you type it from the slate for now. If that's how your show works, tell us and we'll say whether it's coming.
Not required, but worth ten seconds. After that it opens full screen, keeps its own icon, and runs with no signal.
Open lined.film/app in Safari, tap the share button, then Add to Home Screen. Chrome on iOS can't do this — it has to be Safari.
Open it in Chrome or Edge and click the install icon at the right of the address bar, or find Install LINED. in the browser menu.
None of this is required. It's the same app either way — installing only makes it open faster and fill the screen.
