Question 1

What is Laper AI screenwriting software?

Accepted Answer

Laper is a script-first screenplay editor that combines automatic formatting, explicit AI reading and editing tools, Loro CRDT project synchronization, story planning views, and optional visual development. The editable screenplay remains the source of truth and the writer remains the creative authority.

Question 2

How does Laper give AI screenplay context?

Accepted Answer

The browser exposes explicit read scopes for the cursor, outline, scene, range, stable node, or a bounded full draft. Full mode returns at most 800 screenplay nodes and reports truncation, so longer scripts are handled with an outline-first and targeted-scene workflow instead of an always-on context-window claim.

Question 3

Is Laper free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Junior is the zero-dollar entry plan. Current paid monthly prices are Senior $20, Elite $60, Master $100, and Legend $400. Annual prices are $192, $576, $960, and $3,840 respectively. Live credit and project allowances are shown on the pricing page.

Question 4

What makes Laper different from other screenwriting software?

Accepted Answer

Laper connects typed screenplay nodes to derived scenes, characters, and locations; gives AI explicit tools to read and edit that structured document; synchronizes project state through Loro; and routes visual generation through durable tasks and assets. It does not turn the screenplay into a detached chat response.

Question 5

Can Laper open a project completely offline?

Accepted Answer

No. Existing projects require an online server-first initial synchronization before editable containers are created. Once a project is open, local updates can enter the persistence pipeline during a transient disconnect and synchronize after the connection returns.
