Don't lose another UGC gig to a missed shot. UGC platforms grade creators on the brief. Miss a shot, miss a deadline, and your work gets rejected. You lose the payment, and the brand stops sending you briefs. Briefshot is built for UGC creators who want to deliver every gig clean. Paste a brief from any platform (Cohley, Later, Minisocial, Aspire, or your own client briefs). Briefshot turns it into a detailed shot list with titles, hints, and timing. Capture every shot in the camera, organize as you go, and export the whole gig as a single album ready to deliver. How it works 1. Paste your brief, no matter where it came from. 2. Briefshot reads it and generates a detailed shot list. Each shot has a title, descriptive hints, and (for video) clear in-and-out timing. 3. Tap the camera button on a project to drop straight into the shot list inside the camera, or open a specific shot to capture against it. Shot it elsewhere? Share those clips onto a shot from Photos. 4. Shots mark themselves captured the moment you add media. Adjust any time. 5. When you're done, export the project as a complete album in your Photos app, ready to deliver. Why UGC creators use Briefshot • Never miss a shot the brand asked for. The shot list stays in front of you on set so the spec is always one tap away. • Hit every deadline, every gig. See every active gig, sorted by due date, so nothing slips when you're juggling four briefs at once. • Your deadlines on your real calendar. Connect Google Calendar and every gig with a due date lands on a Briefshot calendar of its own, next to the rest of your week. Move a date in either place and the other follows. • Know what to paste before you paste it. The brief screen opens with a short guide to what a strong brief includes, plus a one-tap example brief that runs the whole flow, so your first gig isn't the one you learn on. • Not everything gets shot in the app. Send clips onto a shot straight from Photos, or anywhere with a share button. Gimbal footage, drone shots, edits from another app: all of it uploads in the background, even if you close Briefshot. • Hints in the viewfinder. Your whole shot list lives inside the camera. Swipe between shots, capture as you go, never reopen the brief mid-take. • Export ready to deliver. One tap turns the whole gig into a single Photos album you can send straight to the brand. • Built for photo and video. Per-shot timing for video gigs, so hooks, b-roll, and beat changes are locked in before you shoot. Built for • UGC creators juggling multiple brand briefs across platforms • Creators building reliable income from brand gigs Briefshot Pro Briefshot Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited shot list generations.

Privacy and data Your briefs, shot lists, and media are private to your account. Anonymous product analytics only. No third-party tracking SDKs. Sign in with Apple or Google.

Open Prompter is a teleprompter supporting markdown files and every "Pro" feature you need to record content (plus some extras). It reads universal .md files from iCloud, your Obsidian vault or any source in IOS Files — as-is, with live updates, no paste, no import needed. Read it back at your pace with voice tracking while the selfie camera records you. The file saves to your Photos and back to your script folder for the most seamless workflow. THE READING EXPERIENCE — Voice tracking using on-device speech recognition follows what you actually said, so the page advances when you do. Your data never leaves the phone. — Horizontal AND vertical mirroring for beam-splitter teleprompter rigs. — Six legibility-tuned fonts built in: Atkinson Hyperlegible (default), Lexend, System Sans, Verdana, New York (Serif), and the brand monospace. — Adjustable scroll speed (5–200 px/s) and font size (16–160 pt) so dense scripts and eye-line reads both work. — Focus mode dims the chrome for clean recording — a single eye button brings it back. — Full-bleed prompter with vertical or horizontal rotation. CAMERA AND RECORDING — Front camera native recording inside the app. A picture-in-picture tile floats over the script while you read; tap it to promote to a full-screen camera preview; tap minimize to collapse it back. — Open Gate recording on iPhone 17 with the full 1:1 front sensor at 3840 × 3840. Perform your script once, crop a 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 from the same take in your editor. No reshoot for every platform. — Save next to the script: toggle in Settings → Recording. When on, the .mov writes to the same folder as the .md so iCloud delivers the take to your Mac next to the script. No "where did I put that file" hunt. — Standard or High Bitrate HEVC, sized for quality and efficiency. — True 24p frame rate or 30p or 60p (if you're feeling wild). BUILT-IN EDITOR Tap the pencil in the top bar to open the file. Changes save back through the file coordinator — iCloud syncs them to your Mac the same way it syncs any other file. BLUETOOTH REMOTE Pair any Bluetooth keyboard or media remote and bind buttons to play, pause, mirror, restart, and more. Volume-button capture is opt-in (Settings → Remote) so the volume rocker still works as a volume rocker by default. WHAT IT UNDERSTANDS Open Prompter parses real markdown. Headings render as headings, bullets as bullets, numbered lists as numbered lists. Front matter, Callouts (> footnotes, tables, and visual-direction brackets ([B-roll: ...]) are stripped. Aggressive stripping is on by default; turn it off in Settings if you want to see cues on screen. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND HERE No account. No subscription. No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. No network calls of any kind. Voice tracking and the camera both run entirely on-device. Open Prompter reads the files you pick from the built-in Files app, captures with the camera you already own. OPEN SOURCE Every line of code is on GitHub under the MIT license. REQUIREMENTS — iPhone on iOS 17 or newer — For iCloud live-sync: the same Apple ID on Mac and phone — For Obsidian vaults: Obsidian Sync or any folder the iOS Files app can reach — For Open Gate recording: iPhone 17 family (older iPhones record at the maximum frame their sensor exposes — the square-headroom re-crop trick is iPhone 17-only) — For Bluetooth remote: any keyboard or media remote your iPhone can pair with
