Description

Highland 2 is a better way to write.

We’ve taken the tools we built for writing screenplays and made them work for almost every kind of document you write. From novels to blog posts and school reports, Highland’s clean design and innovative tools help you focus on words, not formatting.

“Highland is just a cleaner, purer way to be creative. My mind is calmer and less cluttered when I use it because I can write prose so easily and jump to dialogue when that’s more intuitive.” — Phil Lord, Writer/Director of The Lego Movie, 21 & 22 Jump Street

“Highland has changed my entire way of working with scripts. I use it every day.” — David Wain, Writer/Director/EP of Childrens Hospital

More Power. Less Distraction.

Highland handles formatting automatically, so you can spend your time finding the perfect word, not the right menu command.

You’ll love working in an editor designed for writing, not mimicking a printed page.

When you want to see the layout, quickly toggle between your text and a preview of the finished document.

With one click, Highland turns your words into a perfectly-formatted document ready to print or export.
