Free document collaboration software for mac

Celtx 2.5 is considered as the world's first all-in-one media pre-production software designed for you to take your story from concept to production. Celtx replaces 'paper, pen & binder' pre-production with a digital approach that's more complete, simpler to work with, and easier to share.
