screenjson-viewer opens ScreenJSON files as a native application. It wraps the same rendering stack as @screenjson/ui in a Tauri 2 shell, so a screenplay looks identical in the browser and on the desktop.

​
What it does

  • Opens local .json ScreenJSON files, through the file dialog or by association with application/vnd.screenjson+json
  • Rejects invalid JSON and non-ScreenJSON files with a readable error rather than a blank page
  • Prompts for a password on encrypted screenplays and decrypts in memory only
  • Renders through @screenjson/ui, so pagination, themes, language switching and the metadata panel behave exactly as they do on the web
  • Keeps a reader-first layout that adapts from phone to desktop widths

​
Install from source

The viewer takes @screenjson/ui from npm as an ordinary dependency, so no extra step is needed to fetch the rendering library.

​
Run and build

Mobile targets use the tauri:android:* and tauri:ios:* scripts and need the corresponding platform SDK installed.

@screenjson/ui

The rendering library the viewer embeds.
