Highland Overview
Highland is a writing application for macOS from Quote-Unquote Apps, the studio led by screenwriter John August, designed especially for screenwriting but well suited to any kind of focused, long-form writing. Its central idea is to let you write in plain text using a lightweight markup approach, so you concentrate on the words while the app handles formatting: type naturally, and Highland renders professional screenplay layout automatically, without the fiddly formatting controls of traditional screenwriting software. It is built around a distraction-free editor with a clean interface and features that writers appreciate, such as a navigator for jumping between scenes and sections, revision and productivity tools, and the ability to import and export industry-standard formats including Final Draft files and PDFs. Because the underlying document is plain text, your work stays portable and future-proof. Highland appeals to screenwriters, novelists, and anyone who wants to write without fighting their tools. It is a paid app, with a free version available. This page links to the official Highland download.
