Story Structure

Plan Before You Write

Wajang provides multiple visual tools to help writers plan and understand their story structure before committing it to script, and to track that structure as it evolves.

🥁
Beat Board

A drag-and-drop beat planning board. Lay out your story beats across acts, colour-code sequences, link beats to scenes and lock your structure before you begin writing. Inspired by the index card methods used in professional development rooms.

Index Card View

A classic screenwriter's view, with every scene rendered as a card showing slug line, scene goal, conflict and outcome. Reorder scenes by dragging cards. See your whole script structure in one scrollable view.
