## What is Filmari?

Filmari — a filmmaking production tool
Designed for indie filmmakers and videographers who want full control over their projects.

Home Dashboard
The central hub. Here you’ll find pinned and recently opened projects, favorite tools from calculators, converters and simulators, as well as an overview of recently used tools. What appears on the dashboard can be customized in Profile — you can build a clean workspace without unnecessary clutter.

Projects:
The core of film production. A set of tools grouped around a production workflow. You’ll find tools covering pre-production, production, and overall project management.
Concept — a note space for ideas, references, and thoughts about the film. No structure, just a clean space for writing.
Script — import a screenplay in PDF format, smart extraction of scenes and locations, breakdown into a shot list. No need to manually rewrite the script — the app handles it for you.
Location — location scouting directly within the project. Create, organize, and keep all locations neatly in one place.
Shooting Day — where everything comes together. Organizing the shoot, linking scenes to specific days, generating call sheets, take logging, and reviewing what was shot during the day.
Gear — every shoot has its equipment needs. Packing lists help you make sure nothing important is forgotten — whether it’s a simple shoot or a full production kit.
Budget — from small projects to feature films. A smart tool for building budgets item by item: shooting, licenses, gear, rentals, transport, production costs, and more.
Crew — complete crew management. Build your team and cast, then link them to specific shooting days, scenes, and call sheets.

Tools
This section contains standalone tools — classic filmmaking calculators for shooting, planning, and video editing. You’ll find tools like a DoF Calculator, Battery Planner, Timelapse Planner, Aspect Ratio Converter, and many more.

Profile
The customization center. Gear inventory, codec and sensor presets for calculators, default rates for the Budget Planner — everything in one place, ready for repeated use.

Export PDF
Filmmaking is about collaboration. Shot lists, budgets, call sheets, packing lists — everything can be exported as PDF or CSV and sent directly to a client, accountant, or the entire crew.

Guest Mode
When you hand your phone to an assistant on set, you don’t want them to have access to everything. In settings, you can lock individual modules (budget, inventory, rates...) with Face ID or Touch ID. Turn on Guest Mode and the user will only see what you allow.

Privacy & Licensing
Filmari was built with a simple idea — to work even where the internet doesn’t.
When shooting documentaries or working in the field, you often end up out of signal range, so the app is designed as offline-first. All projects, data, and work stay on your device. You don’t need an internet connection or an account for normal use.

At the same time, I wanted to avoid a model where every second feature is locked behind a subscription. Filmari is fully usable in the free version. The only limitation is a maximum of one active project at a time.

If you’re working on a single film or video at a time, you can use the app for free for as long as you want. When you reach the point where you need to manage multiple projects at once, you can simply unlock a lifetime license. It removes all limits and includes future updates with no additional fees.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.15.4 — 2026-07-23

In this update, I focused on improving the budget planner.

It has more refined logic and now integrates much better with the project’s other tools.

I’ve also revamped and redesigned the PDF export for budgets; you can now customize budgets and quotes more effectively.

New fields and options have been added to the budget.

And, as always, several bugs have been fixed.

### 1.15.3 — 2026-07-19

Several changes to the Budget Planner. Improved planner stability, cleaner design, and improved budget planning logic.

### 1.15.2 — 2026-07-13

Hey guys, I'm back. This time I focused mainly on upgrading the budget planner in Projects. First big thing I changed: routing into the budget planner. It used to go through a budget list, which bugged me – it's literally one extra click. And realistically, the vast majority of projects only ever have one budget, so I decided to rework the logic a bit.

Now, as soon as you create a project, you get a default budget right away, where you build out the full pricing straight from the project. You can still create budget versions on top of that, though – I wanted to keep that option so you can put together different variants or price quotes.

Locations – Pricing:

Until now, locations only had a flat rental price. I expanded that to Flat / Hourly / Daily pricing, so it actually reflects reality better. Deposits got split up too – Advance is for an upfront deposit payment, and Security is for a refundable deposit.

All of this feeds into the budget – you can import individual locations and their costs straight into the planner and have them counted toward the budget. The logic's simple: if a location is assigned to scenes that are actually in use, you can auto-import it into the budget.

Custom Costs and Discounts:

I added Custom Costs to the budget too, so you can throw in your own line items.

I also expanded the "Apply to" function for discounts, rush fees, and the like – now you can toggle each section on or off individually.

As Always – Bug Fixes:

And like always: cleaned-up code, tighter syntax, and a bunch of bugs squashed.

### 1.15.1 — 2026-06-18

Improved focal length suggestions in shot lists:
- Added lens suggestions from the inventory, so the app will now offer either your most recently used focal lengths or suggest focal lengths based on the lenses in your inventory.

Improved suggestions in Gear - Packing Lists:
- The app now offers items from the inventory that are related to the lens and camera used in shot lists. This has been expanded to include batteries, filters, and memory cards.
- Smart suggestions for frequently used combinations, if you often add a certain item with a specific camera or lens, the app will start suggesting it to you.

Minor UI and UX tweaks: refined sheets and forms.
Fixed several bugs.

### 1.15.0 — 2026-06-10

New Features:
– I added a new Shotlist tab to the Script section for managing scenes and shots.  
– The script import now automatically generates both scenes and script locations.  
– I introduced Location Scouting. A complete management system for real-world locations.  
– I built a new "Next Shooting Days" card right inside the project hub.  
– I added Crew Management to let you build out team profiles.  
– I introduced Call Sheets. You can now generate a PDF call sheet for any shooting day.  
UX and UI Tweaks:
– You can now upload a 2:3 aspect ratio poster to your projects.  
– I cleaned up the card and module layouts across both projects and the home dashboard.  
Bug Fixes:
– I fixed CloudKit synchronization issues.  
– Various other minor bug fixes and polishes.
