Where Does Slugline Store Screenplays on Mac?
Where Slugline keeps Fountain screenplays and settings on Mac for backup, sharing and moves.
Last updated
Slugline keeps screenplays as Fountain plain text files wherever you saved them, with app settings and outline state in Application Support. The plain text design makes backup trivial on any Mac.
Copy scripts plus the support folder with the app closed for migration. Cloud drives sync Fountain files cleanly since they merge as text. Reach Library through Go to Folder in Finder on every Mac you use.
Where Slugline stores this, by platform
~/Documents/Slugline
Fountain files wherever saved with settings in Application Support. Plain text travels anywhere. Copy both with the app closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Slugline screenplays?
Keep .fountain files where you saved them and copy the support folder with Slugline closed. Screenplays travel as plain text, settings with the folder. Reinstalls need both halves.
Can I open Slugline files without Slugline?
Fountain files are plain text by design, so any editor opens them. Slugline adds outline and preview state on top. Share the .fountain file itself for collaboration.
