Directors, cinematographers, assistant directors, gaffers, and production designers stay aligned from first concept to first day of shooting. Spend your energy on the work that matters and arrive on set with everything organized. --- KEY FEATURES --- CAMERA DIAGRAMS - plan your shots visually. Block your scenes with overhead diagrams that feel intuitive from the first tap. Place cameras, actors, lights, and set pieces to scale. Build detailed floor plans or import sets from 3D scans. SHOT LISTS & STORYBOARDS - flexible by design. Create shot lists with fully customizable fields. Every shot connects automatically to its camera diagram and storyboard, while mood boards and locations link to each scene to keep everything in context. SCRIPT IMPORT & REVISIONS - always in sync with your script. Drop in your script and Cadrage Studio detects scenes and characters automatically. Import revisions and everything stays connected — shot lists, storyboards, and diagrams remain attached to the right scenes. LOCATIONS - from scout to set. Capture 3D room scans with LiDAR-enabled iPhones and iPads or import scans from other apps. Attach photos and notes to every location, ready for your team to reference. MOOD BOARDS - convey your vision. Collect images, videos, and links in one place. Export polished presentations to keep your visual language consistent across your crew, the agency, and the client.

Your journals are full of words you can't search. InkReader turns them into text. Point your camera at a page. InkReader finds the edges, straightens the shot, and reads the handwriting — including the messy cursive that other scanners give up on. What you get back is clean, editable text, saved alongside the original page. TRY IT FREE Your first 10 pages are free. No account, no credit card, no sign-up form. Scan a page and see the transcription for yourself before you decide anything. BUILT FOR REAL HANDWRITING Most scanning apps were built for printed documents and fall apart on a handwritten page. InkReader uses AI transcription tuned for handwriting, so faded ink, slanted lines, and cursive still come through. SCAN A WHOLE JOURNAL, NOT ONE PAGE Capture page after page in one sitting — an entire journal without stopping. Open the book flat and photograph the whole spread; InkReader reads both pages. Then read it back as one continuous journal, organized by the date of each entry, not by how you scanned it. FIND ANY MEMORY IN SECONDS Search inside a journal and jump between matches, or scrub through years by month with a flick. Find the trip, the name, the argument, the recipe — without turning a single page. YOUR WORDS, YOUR DEVICE Journals are stored on your phone. There's no account and no copy on our servers. A page is sent securely to be transcribed and then discarded — never stored, never used to train AI. KEEP A COPY ANYWHERE Export any journal — or just the entries you choose — as a PDF or text file, straight to Files, iCloud Drive, email, or anywhere the share sheet reaches. INKREADER PREMIUM Unlimited transcription for $4.99/month or $29.99/year. Everything else stays exactly as it is. Subscriptions are billed through your App Store account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in Settings.
