Use Arqo on every device
Same editor on phone, tablet, desktop. Same Fountain engine. Same export.
3 min readtopic 02 · On every device
The mobile editor is the editor. It's the same Fountain engine, the same FDX export, the same memory layer. There is no "mobile mode" or stripped-down companion view.
Apps
- iPhone and iPad: the App Store. Files app integration so you can drop a .fountain or .fdx in.
- Mac and Windows: the desktop download. It is the live web app in its own window.
- Web: any desktop browser. In a phone browser you can set up, browse the Library and Learn, and start a script; writing in the editor needs a computer or the iPhone app.
Saving
On iPhone and iPad, changes are written to the device first and upload when you reconnect. In a browser or the desktop download, changes go to your account a moment after you stop typing, so saving needs a connection. If a save fails a banner says so, Arqo keeps retrying on its own, and a copy is parked on that computer and offered back the next time you open the script there. Keep the tab open anyway.
