Bring your Celtx scripts. We respect every revision mark, every dual-dialogue block, every locked scene number — and we will not paywall your own PDF the day your subscription lapses.
Celtx puts your PDF behind an active subscription. Arqo's free tier exports FDX, Fountain, and production PDF — forever. Lapsing doesn't freeze your work.
Celtx grew into a production suite; the script editor stopped being the priority. Arqo is screenwriting first — Fountain-native, FDX-clean, mobile-real.
Launch pricing: $9.99 Pro (was $11) / $24.99 Studio (was $29.99). No "assistant add-on" line item. Plug in your own Claude/GPT/Gemini account if you want — no markup on what you spend.
Where did Mira last appear? What scenes happen on the rooftop? The memory layer surfaces your own through-line — it does not autocomplete your dialogue.
In Celtx Studio: Script → Export → Final Draft (.fdx). On free Celtx, the FDX export sits behind the paywall — see FAQ for the workaround.
Scripts → Import → drop the .fdx. Scenes, dialogue, dual-dialogue, revisions, and locked scene numbers come through.
Open the imported script in Arqo. Spot-check the first 3 scenes — element types, character names, scene numbers. Export FDX back out if your producer asks.
Sign in on iOS or Android. Same script, same editor — Celtx Mobile is a viewer; Arqo on phone is the editor.
Celtx requires a paid tier for FDX export. Workarounds: (1) start a Celtx free trial of a paid plan, export FDX, then cancel. (2) Copy your script into a plain-text Fountain file and import that into Arqo. (3) Sign up for our .celtx native-import waitlist below — when it ships, we'll email you.
Not yet. Native .celtx parsing is on the roadmap and we are taking waitlist names — sign up at the bottom of this page. Today: export FDX from Celtx, import into Arqo.
Arqo focuses on the script. Production breakdowns (scheduling, breakdown sheets, call sheets) are not in Arqo today and won't be — that's a different tool. Your Celtx production data stays in Celtx; the script comes to Arqo.
In Celtx, your editor and exports go behind the paywall when a subscription ends — your scripts are still on their servers, but you can't get them out without paying again. In Arqo, every export (FDX, Fountain, PDF) is on the free tier. You always get your work out.
Yes. Round-trip the FDX between them. Most writers we've talked to do exactly this once a script gets close to production.
Two scripts on Free. Full editor. Full export. Bring your FDX, see how it lands.
