Join The Community

Beat now has a Discord Community! You are welcome to suggest new features, report bugs or chat about screenwriting in general. Beat also has a Patreon page.

Support Beat

Development is done on spare time and using my own resources, so any price from a fancy coffee (5€) up to a vegan burger (15€) or a used Maserati (around 150 000€) will help to keep the project alive.

Alternatively, instead of supporting Beat, help those in need. Send your loose change to NGOs around the world, to help less fortunate people survive COVID-19 pandemic and other catastrophes.

Feedback

If you want to send feedback, love letters or just discuss screenwriting, either DM me on Discord or send an e-mail to beat@beat-app.fi.
