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. Fast. Visual. Organized. Ready wherever you shoot. cue it. do it.

About

Cinevisor

Features
Read full description

Cinevisor is a director's viewfinder that doesn't stop at the frame. Pick the camera body, sensor mode, lens set and lens you're actually shooting on. The phone's camera is cropped and zoomed to match that rig's real field of view, so what you see on screen is what the lens will see. Framelines, safe areas, anamorphic desqueeze and a HUD with focal length, T-stop and field of view — all of it running on the device, offline, free. Then tap the shutter and take it one step further: describe the light you want, and Cinevisor renders your exact frame with that lighting, that depth of field and that film look. Not a stock photo, not a mood board — your location, your framing, lit the way you're pitching it. THE VIEWFINDER • Real field-of-view matching from the sensor mode and focal length, not an approximation • Camera bodies, sensor modes and lens sets from the manufacturers' own specifications • Swipe through a lens set; the preview ramps to the next focal length • Framelines for multiple ratios at once, custom aspects, safe areas, adjustable opacity • Anamorphic squeeze factors from 1.25x to 2x, viewed desqueezed • Monospaced HUD: focal length, horizontal and vertical FOV, sensor mode, T-stop • Works with no signal. The viewfinder never needs the network. DEPTH OF FIELD FROM REAL OPTICS The blur isn't guessed. Cinevisor reads the scene's depth, then computes the circle of confusion from the rig you picked — focal length, T-stop, sensor size, focus distance — and renders the falloff from that. Change the T-stop and the background separates the way that lens would actually separate it, with round bokeh on the highlights. THE AI LOOK • Describe the lighting in plain words: "early morning, sun through the window", "overcast soft", "sodium vapor at night" • Film stock and look presets, key direction, atmosphere, grain and halation • Your composition, your people and your architecture stay exactly where they are • Before/after slider on every render • Save to a project, export with the rig metadata, or share PROJECTS Organize captures by project and shot. Every frame keeps its rig: camera, sensor mode, lens, T-stop, framelines, location and time. Re-render any shot later with a different look. CREDITS The viewfinder, the framelines, the depth-of-field maths and the projects are free and unlimited. Only the AI renders cost credits, because only they cost real compute. One render, one credit. Credits never expire, they're tied to your Apple Account, and renders that fail are refunded automatically. Unlock Cinevisor once for 30 renders, and buy more in packs of 30, 60 or 120 whenever you need them. There is no subscription. PRIVACY The viewfinder runs entirely on your phone — nothing leaves the device while you're framing. A photo is uploaded only when you tap Render, and only then. We ask for your permission before the first upload, in plain language, and the image is processed and discarded rather than stored on our servers. ABOUT THE RENDERS Renders are generated by an AI model from the frame you captured. They are a visualization of intent, not a photograph of what was there. Treat them the way you'd treat a concept frame in a lookbook. Made by a working filmmaker, for scouts, prep and the conversation where you have to show someone what you mean.
