PropScreen is the professional prop device simulator built for film and television production. Stop fighting with personal phones, paper green screens, or post-production fixes. Prop Screen turns an iPhone or iPad into a fully custom screen prop that adapts to your script. Every tool was designed by working filmmakers to solve real problems on set. WHAT'S INSIDE • Prop Call Screens — custom contact name, photo, ringtone, era-specific layouts, outgoing and unknown-number calls, lose-signal effects, volume-button trigger for hands-free cueing • Prop Video Calls — pre-recorded video for the remote caller, live front camera framing your actor • Prop Messaging — full blue- and green-bubble threads with photos and locations, played live or staged for actor delivery • Prop Notifications — bundled and custom app icons, banner or lock-screen layouts, stackable to tell a story • Prop Screen Playback — lockable fullscreen playback for any screen recording your production needs • Green Screen Mode — chroma screen with built-in tracking markers for VFX compositing • Prop Home Screen Designer — build any home screen layout, export as a transparent PNG • Project folders to keep a show organized Recent Update: • Director Mode — Pair a second device and run the performance phone remotely. Cue scripts beat by beat, watch typing mirrored live, trigger prop calls and notifications, and drive every prop app while your actor performs on a script-locked keyboard. Bluetooth clicker remotes supported. • Prop Security — A simulated camera wall with tap-in live views, event lists, and running timestamps. • Prop Maps — Repeatable navigation and driving directions with custom markers. Stop swapping screens between takes in a picture car. • Prop Social Messages — Chat props in five social platform styles. • Prop Live — A simulated livestream with an auto-generated, scene-reactive audience you can cue from Director Mode. • Prop Social Feeds — Scrollable photo, video, and story feeds built from your own posts. • Clean Mode — One switch loads an original app set with custom per-project names and icons. • 12 on-camera languages — Set each project's phone language independently, including Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, and Russian, each with its real keyboard. App interface now in 11 languages (beta). • Export for edit — Send prop message and social conversations to After Effects or DaVinci Resolve as transparent video, every bubble editable, typing animated. Import scripts from spreadsheets. • Backups you own — Automatic backup to your own iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or Google Drive. Three named versions per device, one-file project export, nothing on our servers. • Built for iPad — A native iPad layout, not an upscaled iPhone build. • Adds fully support between iOS and newly releases Android.

The buy forever option is a tad steep but appreciate the option no less **Developer response:** Group Chats are now available!! ### 2/5 — Amazing app, ridiculous price *2026-07-27* First off, I hate to leave a bad review because this is a much needed app for filmmakers, especially indie filmmakers. It seems user friendly and designed well with a lot of great options. But the reason I have to give it 2/5 is the pricing. It’s $8 a month, which I think a subscription for an app like this is already ridiculous, even if it was a $1 per month. The other option is a lifetime buy, which I am all for, except for this it costs $1k… one thousand dollars for an app is just crazy and greedy. I would gladly update my review to a 5/5 if the developers could bring the cost down to reality. I’d gladly pay $50, hell maybe even $100 for lifetime access, but 10x that price is so unrealistic. ### 3/5 — Expensive *2026-07-15* Helpful but expensive, 1000$ for lifetime use is unreal. ### 2/5 — Not free, misleading but very cool App *2026-07-15* The only free option here is green screen. Everything else is locked behind a very expensive payroll.. there needs to be an option for a free tier on all the displays but maybe with some restricted advanced features. This app does look insanely cool and feature packed. I would give it a five star for the developers. ### 5/5 — Amazing value and lifesaver *2026-07-14* I just wrapped up a feature where we had a lot of phones being shown on screen, which all had to be replaced. This would’ve saved us in post. ### 5/5 — Great app. Reasonable price. *2026-07-14* I think I looked at an app like this not too long ago. That was if I’m not mistaken hundreds of dollars a year. I can’t imagine $10 a month if you’re using it is a good price. ### 2/5 — Cool but expensive *2026-07-11* The only free feature is the green screen and that’s easily makable on my own. I was looking forward to the others great features but it’s wildly expensive for an indie crew. I’m sure it’s worth it for the big budget sets but not for me. **Developer response:** Totally hear you on budget — I work in the indie world myself, so this isn't coming from some big-studio mindset. I actually built PropScreen out of my own frustration on set. Just shot a feature loaded with phone screens that all had to be replaced in post, and this would've saved us serious time and money on exactly that kind of job. Couple things worth knowing: there's a 7-day free trial, so you can put it to work on a real project before you're charged. After that it's $10/month, cancel anytime — so you're only paying during the shoots that need it, and one phone-heavy scene saves way more than $10 in post hours. And v2 is in the works with features that make it even more worth it. Green screen stays free regardless — but if you run the full version on a project, I'd genuinely love your feedback. Smaller-crew input is exactly what shapes where this goes next. ## Frequently asked questions about Prop Screen ### Does Prop Screen have ads? No, Prop Screen is ad-free.
