Creator Pipeline

Features
Read full description

Creator Pipeline is the all-in-one mobile app for creators who treat their content like a real business. Instead of juggling multiple tools, everything lives in one place: your content schedule, cross-platform analytics, revenue tracking, brand deals, invoices, expenses, tax records, and even your personal to-dos. YOUR CREATOR BUSINESS, FULLY ORGANIZED The home screen keeps you focused. A Pace Tracker shows how you're progressing on your active project, while your pipeline count, upcoming deadlines, and idea count give you a quick snapshot of what's ahead. The Active Work card surfaces exactly what to work on next - complete with subtasks. Check one off, hit Schedule, and the next project moves into place automatically. MANAGE ALL YOUR CROSS-PLATFORM CONTENT IN PIPELINE Every project is color-coded by platform, sorted by deadline, and shows exactly how many days you have left. Break projects into subtasks (Ideate, Script, Record, Edit, Upload - or your own custom flow). Recurring projects auto-regenerate on schedule. Need time off? Pause your entire pipeline and pick up right where you left off. YOUR MONTHLY CALENDAR SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE On the Calendar screen, every scheduled post appears as a colored dot on its due date, with each platform assigned its own color. Easily spot open gaps and overloaded weeks before they become a problem. CROSS-PLATFORM ANALYTICS & FORECASTS Bring your earnings, followers, views, and engagement from every platform into one clear overview. Compare this month/year to last month/year, or track your entire creator journey. A Forecast card projects where your numbers are heading - so from day one of a new month or new year, you already know if your current creative direction is working. YOUR PRODUCTIVITY, MEASURED IN 1 SCORE Your Productivity Score reflects how reliably you finish what you start. Every assessed project and completed subtask moves it. Track it by month or year, compare it to the previous period, and course-correct when it shows you that you are falling behind. DISCOVER YOUR MOST ENGAGING TOPICS Group your published content by topic keywords like #Unboxing or #Mystery, log the metrics, and watch the app rank each topic by engagement score with trend charts. Know exactly which topics move the needle - and retire the ones that fall flat. ALL THE PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS TOOLS: 1. Brand Deals & Payment Tracker - Log campaigns, deliverables, and payment amounts. Track what's been paid and what's outstanding, without digging through emails. 2. Expense Manager - Log business expenses in seconds. Set recurring/scheduled ones to auto-record on schedule. Mark any expense as Tax Deductible and export the full list at tax time with one tap. 3. Invoicing - Create branded, professional invoices in under a minute. Your logo and invoice numbering are built in from setup. Save drafts, mark as sent, and export as PDF. 4. Rate Card - Build your rate card once, share it as a branded PDF or image instantly. Ready to send in under 30 seconds, every time. 5. Collab Contacts - Keep every brand manager, collaborator, and PR contact in one organized place, with notes on previous conversations and deals. A NOTEPAD FOR ALL YOUR IDEAS Capture content ideas the moment they hit - add a title, jot the concept, choose the platform, and move on. When an idea is ready, send it straight into your Pipeline with one tap. Never lose a good idea again. FOCUS MODE & WELLNESS Tap Focus Mode for a 25-minute Pomodoro session locked onto your current subtask. The Wellness card prompts an eye care break every 20 minutes and a movement reminder every 40. PERSONAL TASKS, BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE THAN A CREATOR A dedicated Personal Tasks section keeps your daily life organized alongside your content - with notification reminders and a full task history. Track your Completion Rate and Carry-Over Rate, and see your year's rhythm mapped in a heatmap. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
