The current stable version of Trelby is quite old and it is not actively developed. As far as software for writing screen plays go it is a niche piece of software but most budding screen writers are on a very tight budget and programs such as these can burn a huge hole in your pocket making Trelby a wonderful alternative option. Blyte was renamed to Trelby, and several new features were added. The ‘academic’ version has two activation options per purchase, costing 99.95. Fullscreen mode Trelby features a no-distraction fullscreen writing mode. All of these have three activation options per purchase. We recommend the Courier font linked on the download page. You can however choose to embed a font of your choice. By default it does not embed the font (and will pick up the default courier on whatever system it is viewed). The code lay dormant until late 2011, when it was re-discovered by Anil Gulecha, who along with Salerma started working on the program again for wider release. Trelby is tuned to generating very compact PDFs. It currently runs on both Windows and Linux platforms.īlyte was a proprietary screenwriting program written by Osku Salerma in 2003, and was maintained as such until 2006, when lacklustre sales led to work on the program being stopped. It is a rebranding of an older screenwriting program called Blyte.

Trelby is a free and open source screenwriting program which focuses on providing a simple, uncluttered interface to writing screenplays.
