Prashanth started development of Scrite when Prime Minister Modi announced 21 days lockdown on 24th March 2020. Within three weeks, on 17th April 2020, a beta was made publicly available. Early adopters and beta testers provided a lot of feedback that helped shape the development of the app. Though the app continued to be in beta until January 2025, it was already usable and was actively used by many professional and hobby screenwriters across the world. Many of the films you watch today are written in Scrite.
Surya, a film maker by profession and UI designer by practice, joined the team in mid 2020 and has since been responsible for the visual design of Scrite.
Punit, a consultant in the film industry by profession who had his own ideas for building a platform for screenwriters, joined the team in late 2020 and has since been showcasing Scrite to key influencers in the country and is helping shape the course for Scrite to grow beyond just being an app, and into a platform.
Scrite is fully opensource and released under GPLv3. The complete source code of the app can be found on GitHub. Unlike FOSS software, Scrite is not free, even though it is fully open-source. Starting from 15th January 2025, users are required to purchase a paid subscription plan to continue using Scrite after a one month free trial.
While the development of Scrite started off under TERIFLIX, further development, maintenance and monetization will now be done by VCreate Logic Pvt. Ltd., a software consulting company founded by Prashanth, who is the creator of Scrite.
