Appearance Release Buddy
Upload a screenplay PDF or a Final Draft (.fdx) file. It's parsed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere. Scene number, INT/EXT, day/night, location, and cast (as initials) are detected from the heading and dialogue formatting — FDX files carry this as real structure, so it's more reliable there than the PDF page-position guesswork. A script gives this tool a project to attach releases to and a cast roster to link them against; nothing about a release itself is read off the page, so add releases below afterward. If a project's already loaded, the new scenes are added alongside what's already here.
