Highland 2
Highland 2 is a Mac writing app for screenplays, prose, and other plain-text documents with tools for formatting, revision, and export.
What is Highland 2?
Highland 2 is a native Mac writing app built for screenwriters and other writers who prefer a clean, plain-text workflow. It helps users draft screenplays, teleplays, articles, and long-form documents without working inside a heavy page-layout interface. The app is closely associated with Fountain and Markdown-style writing, so formatting stays lightweight while exports can be turned into polished PDFs and other deliverables. Writers commonly use Highland 2 to outline ideas, draft scripts, revise dialogue, and prepare files for sharing or production. It also supports reading and working with PDF-based script material, making it useful in script-focused writing and review workflows. Highland 2 was published by Quote-Unquote Apps and remains a Mac-focused product line, though the newer Highland Pro has taken over active development.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Highland 2 is legitimate writing software for macOS. It primarily works with the documents you choose to open or save, so the main privacy consideration is the sensitivity of your own writing files. Anonymous usage analytics may be collected, and some in-app web content can connect to online services, which is ordinary for modern writing apps. If you store confidential drafts, keep normal local backups and review the app’s privacy settings and document locations you use.
Recommendation: Keep Highland 2 if you still use it for writing or need access to older projects and workflows. If you have already moved to Highland Pro and no longer open Highland 2, you can remove it like other Mac apps, but keep your project files and exports backed up first.
