Shotlist. vs Cueboard

Shotlist allows you to manage your photoshoots in one place. Instead of multiple PDF's, text threads with Inso images, everything is in one place for everyone involved to be on the same page. With the right structure and process, anything can be made. The vision behind this platform is to innovate and optimize the PROCESS of creative. As a creative, brand or agency, you shouldn't be spending hours on logistics, emails, creating documents, finding old photos but instead be focused on the creative shoot. We are striving to consolidate everything so that you can create. Note from our Founder: Hello there! I'm so excited to have you begin testing our platform! I started as a photographer and this software has been many years in the making. We are currently beta testing the platform and working tirelessly to perfect each feature for an incredible experience so please bear with us if you encounter any issues or bugs. Lastly, any feedback is highly valued as your insight helps us create the best possible product! Feel free to reach out on the app or on socials with any feedback or just to say hey! Thank you for stopping by, and lets get to creating! Spencer Davis Photographer, Storyteller, Founder @shotlistapp | @spencerdavisphoto

The shot list app for creators Cueboard turns scattered ideas into a clear, confident shot list that travels with you from concept to delivery. Build folders, create projects in seconds, and shape them with cues, subcues, details, media types, and visuals (storyboards) that stay exactly where you need them. The built-in demo project shows the full rhythm of a shot list the moment you open the app, so you can start creating right away. FLOW MODE: CREATE WITHOUT FRICTION Flow Mode is your rapid-fire shot list builder. Tap once, type, hit Return to commit, and the next cue appears instantly. Tap. Type. Confirm. The lightweight type picker sits right above the keyboard, so switching formats mid-thought stays one-thumbable even when you're juggling gear on set. STRUCTURE THAT MATCHES HOW YOU THINK Folders organize productions. Projects hold shot lists. Cues outline your beats. Subcues refine the details. Every cue can carry its own media type, notes, and you can add visuals, so your shot list reflects the way your mind maps a scene. WORKS EVERYWHERE — EVEN OFFLINE Cueboard saves everything locally first so you can plan in airplane mode, on remote sets, or anywhere without service. When you reconnect, Cueboard syncs quietly over iCloud. No accounts. No sign-in. Everything syncs automatically when you’re back online, without interrupting your flow. This provides uninterruptible offline reliability. CUSTOM CUES, COLORS, AND CONTROL Cueboard adapts to your workflow. Create unlimited custom cue types with your own color and shape. The structure and custom cue types are embedded in any shared project, guaranteeing fidelity across the whole team. CUE DIRECTOR: AI-POWERED PLANNING Turn any idea into a structured shot list with AI planning, powered by Apple Intelligence. Private, on-device processing. Unlimited generations. No subscription required. Type your thoughts and let Cue Director create your shot list instantly. Works on iOS 26 with supported devices. ICLOUD SHARING MADE SIMPLE Sharing with Cueboard is effortless. You can share a project or an entire folder with collaborators, team members, or clients. Edits made by participants appear in the project’s Changes View, so you can stay up to date at a glance. WHAT ARE YOUR COLORS OF COLLABORATION? Shared work is always clear at a glance: • Yellow means you own and share the project (Owner confirmation). • Indigo means a project was shared with you (Primary participant). • Purple marks a participant project inside your folder (Collaborator work). • Cyan shows your project inside someone else’s folder (Ownership separation). • Gray means read-only (Universal safety color). Permissions are enforced in the interface, so nobody can accidentally edit what they should not. Ask your crew, "What are your colors of collaboration?" EXPORT, COPY, AND TEMPLATE ANY CUT Export to DOCX (Microsoft Word compatible, editable post-production data) or PDF (High-fidelity client signoff, preserves color-coding). CUEBOARD TEMPLATES: INSTANT SHOT LISTS Package entire projects as reusable templates for recurring formats or clients. Templates preserve structure and custom cues, while visuals and notes stay private. Copy as List produces a clean, formatted shot list with media labels and strikethroughs that pastes perfectly into Notes, Docs, or Pages for instant, informal communication.
