In May 2018, WriterDuet included Bechdel test analysis functions to address issues of gender diversity in the screenwriting industry.[4]
In 2018, WriterDuet published WriterSolo, an offline version of their app that runs on the browser and opens/saves files on the computer, Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud.
In July 2019, WriterDuet made the WriterSolo browser app and desktop app available as pay-what-you-want under the web address FreeScreenwriting.com.[5]
