About

Celtx is a Canadian-originated freemium and proprietary media pre-production software, initially based on the Firefox engine, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for creative professionals. Launched prior to 2009, it specializes in visual storyboarding, production scheduling, and screenwriting, supporting international languages and real-time collaboration. Its product portfolio includes desktop applications (Mac version $19.99, though an older Mac program version 2.97 was discontinued), an online platform (free for scriptwriting), and mobile apps for Android, iPhone ($4.99), Android Tablet, and iPad ($4.99), with a paid "full" version offering novel capabilities for around $10. Celtx provides free tutorials, videos, and a wiki, fostering a very helpful community. While praised for its ease of use and extensive features, some users have noted challenges with app efficiency, load screens, and potential progress loss, and expressed a desire for an ad-free paid version. It competes with tools like Scrivener in the creative writing and screenwriting market, maintaining a strong position as an "amazing site" when functioning optimally.
