Stable release 2.2 / 26 Sep 2012 Operating system License GPL | Written in Python Type Screenwriting software | |
 | ||
Trelby is a free and open source screenwriting program which focuses on providing a simple, uncluttered interface to writing screenplays. It is a rebranding of an older screenwriting program called Blyte. It currently runs on the Windows and Linux platforms, without a Mac OS X port in the works.
History
Blyte was a commercial screenwriting program written by Osku Salerma in 2003, and was maintained as such until 2006, when lacklustre sales led to work on the program being stopped. The code was open sourced under the GPL license.
The code lay dormant until late 2011, when it was re-discovered by Anil Gulecha, who along with Salerma started working on the program again for wider release. Blyte was renamed to Trelby, and several new features were added.
Trelby appears to be no longer in active development, as no significant changes have been made to its Github source code repository since November 2012.
