Celtx's developer Celtx Inc. was founded as Greyfirst in 2000 in St. John's by entrepreneurs Mark Kennedy and Chad House.[4][5] "Celtx" is an acronym for Crew, Equipment, Location, Talent and XML.[2] Its Celtx pre-production software launched that year as a desktop service.[4] The software was originally designed for small and independent production companies.[5]
The original desktop software was built atop the open-source Firefox browser, allowing hybrid online/offline operation.[5] By June 2013, Celtx software was available as a subscription web service, in addition to a desktop version.[5]
In December 2014, Celtx developer Greyfirst changed its name to Celtx Inc.[6]
As of September 21, 2022, the latest version of the software shown on the Apple store was version 3.0.[1]
Celtx is scriptwriting and collaboration software for screenwriters; film and television producers; and producers of theater, radio, podcasts and comics.[2][5]
Celtx originates from desktop software built on open, non-proprietary standards (e.g., HTML, XML and RDF) and licensed under the Mozilla Public License version 2.0.[2] Feature development and language translations of the application were driven largely by the feedback and volunteer efforts of members of the international Celtx community.[7]
Celtx software is developed by St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador-based Celtx Inc.[4] Celtx, Inc. is owned by Boston, Massachusetts-based Backlight, a media technology company founded in 2022.[4] Backlight also owns four other media software businesses: ftrack, iconik, Wildmoka and Zype.[4]
