TAKE LOGS AND REPORTS Each marked take can be recorded with its timecode and production metadata. Export all logged takes as a PDF production report or CSV file for sharing, archiving, and post-production reference. PRIVACY Pro Slate does not require an account.

Unless connected to and verified with supported external equipment, it should not be treated as a certified master clock or a replacement for dedicated hardware synchronization.

ClappyBoard is a digital clapperboard for indie productions. Hold anywhere to arm the board, release to mark. ClappyBoard fires a full-screen white flash carrying the exact time of day, scene and take — a frame an editor can find by eye and a waveform spike they can find by ear. BUILT FOR INDIE BUDGETS No timecode boxes to rent, no jam-syncing between setups, nobody tied up just to hold the clapper. ClappyBoard puts a real sync mark on every take using a phone someone on set already owns — prop it on a stand or hand it to whoever's free. Narrative, doc or commercial, anywhere sound rolls separately from picture. THE WHOLE SLATE IS FREE Every mark, every sound, the full log and CSV export — free, with no limit on takes and nothing held back until wrap. Free boards simply carry ClappyBoard as the production name.
