SmartBreakdown turns a screenplay into a breakdown your department can work from — prepared on Mac, worked on iPad with scenes, script and notes side by side, checked on iPhone between set-ups. Nothing leaves your device. No account, no cloud, no uploads — even the semantic search runs locally. For unreleased material under NDA, that is not an extra. It is the condition. NEW: MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold iPhone Duo and the scene splits at the fold: the screenplay on the left page, departments, notes and costs on the right — like pages beside a notebook. Fold it between set-ups and your scene is still open. READ THE SCREENPLAY Import a PDF and SmartBreakdown finds the scenes: headings, scene numbers, length in eighths, DAY/NIGHT and INT/EXT. Dialogue stays dialogue and action stays action, so the screenplay reads the way it was written. Scans work too, and any heading the app is unsure of is shown for you to check, not quietly guessed. BREAK IT DOWN YOUR WAY Name your own departments, give them your production's colours and a symbol, and assign them to any scene. Write notes per department — with formatting — attach reference images and videos, and highlight passages in the screenplay itself. Each department sees what concerns it, and nothing else. MARK UP WITH APPLE PENCIL On iPad, draw across the screenplay with Apple Pencil — a highlighter on paper, except that what it leaves behind can be filtered and exported. Double-tap to switch department; write notes by hand with Scribble. COST IT Put an estimate on any note — two phones, a rain bar, three doubles. Totals add up per scene, per department and across any scenes you choose, go into the PDF and Excel exports, and the app always shows what still has no amount. SCRIPT, STORY DAY AND CONTINUITY Every scene carries a running time, a story day and the clock time it plays at. Running times start as estimates from the scene's length and give way to the times you measure. See every scene of story day 2 at a tap, and know what the phone in shot or the watch in costume has to show. A NEW DRAFT KEEPS YOUR WORK Read in a revision without starting over. Departments, notes and markings hang on scene numbers, not on page positions. Coloured stripes in the margin show what each draft changed — blue pages, pink pages, as on paper — and you mark them as reviewed as you go. THE SHOOTING SCHEDULE Import a Movie Magic one-line schedule and the shooting days are linked to their scenes. Open a day to see its scenes in shooting order, with page count, running time, story days and your department's workload. FIND SCENES BY MEANING Search for "phone screen" or "someone gets a message" and find the scenes, even where the screenplay puts it in other words. EXPORT WHAT IS NEEDED, NOTHING MORE PDF and Excel reports filtered by department, scenes, episode or shooting day: the full breakdown, one department, a handful of scenes or a day sheet. Send a production — or one department's work alone — to a colleague as a single file, by AirDrop or any other way, and merge their changes back when it returns. YOUR WORK STAYS YOURS A production is a single file: save it, move it between devices, carry on where you left off. Open, read, print and export it — always, with or without a subscription.
