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. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS FOR POWER USERS Cueboard is as fast as a desktop editor wherever you work. Every major action is shortcut ready on iPad keyboards and Apple Silicon Macs: • ⌘F enters Flow Mode (Rapid input) • ⌘E edits (Inline refining) • ⌘R reorders (Visual hierarchy) • ⌘1 through ⌘9 switch cue types instantly • ⌘⇧S creates a subcue in Flow Mode • ⌘B / ⌘I / ⌘U format notes quickly Cueboard is the calm creative command center for every production.
