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.
