Crossline vs Gobo

Crossline is a shot-planning tool for anyone blocking a scene before the camera rolls. Lay out your floor plan: walls, furniture, performers, cameras, lights, and drag setups into place. A live preview shows exactly what each camera will frame, at the lens and height you've chosen, before you've committed anyone's time to it. Crossline tracks your screen direction as you work. Cross the 180-degree line without a bridging shot and it tells you, by name, which pair of setups is the problem, not just that something, somewhere, might cut wrong. When you're ready to move from plan to picture: • Export a written prompt optimised for an AI image tool. Every frame carries style, setting, characters, set dressing, camera, lens, light and who's looking where, with screen direction built into the description, so the model can't quietly mirror your composition and reverse the scene. Delivered as a paste-in-order brief for tools that keep context between prompts, or as one self-contained prompt per frame for anything with no memory between requests. • Export a plain-language shot list for a human illustrator instead. No AI required. Available in English, Spanish, French and German. • Export the board as a printable PDF, six frames a page, with shot size, lens and height noted under each one. • Bring illustrated frames back in, mark up the camera moves, and print or export the finished storyboard. • Export every setup as structured data, for whatever you build next. Planning, the line checks and the coverage report are free, and always will be. Exporting is a single one-off purchase. There is no subscription.

No one around to take your picture? Want a group photo with nobody left out? Solo traveller, content creator, building your Instagram feed? Tired of handing your phone to strangers? Gobo turns your iPhone into a hands-free photo shoot. Prop the phone up, choose how long to wait and how often to shoot, tap start and walk into frame. Gobo takes photo after photo on its own while you pose, move and try things. No button to press, no phone to hold, no Bluetooth clicker to remember. Frame it before you step in. Place a life-size stand-in in your room — a mannequin, or a cutout of anyone made from a photo — and see exactly where you'll stand before you set the timer. Handing the phone to a friend instead? Snap a guide photo of the framed shot so they can match it. Then pick the best. Every shot lands in Gobo's private gallery. Swipe through, thumbs up the keepers, thumbs down the misses. Only the photos you choose go to your photo library. The rest never clutter it. Real photos, not video frames. Gobo shoots full-quality stills with your iPhone's camera, so every keeper is sharp enough to post. How it works: Set the start delay, the time between photos and how many to take. Or shoot until you stop. Tap start. A big countdown and a shutter flash tell you when each photo fires, readable from across the room. Review, rate, and export only the ones you love. Just need one picture? Photo mode is a plain camera: one tap, one photo. More ways to shoot: Classic film. Twenty film looks, from Portra to Tri-X to Polaroid, with real grain and glow. Change the look of any photo later; the original stays untouched. Photo Booth. Four or six shots, three seconds apart, printed together as a strip or a grid. Made for parties and nights out. Your wrist as the remote. The Apple Watch app shows the countdown and starts or stops the shoot from where you stand. Duo. Both cameras at once. Video and Live Photos, face smoothing, and a center guide that tells you which way to step until you're in the middle. A voice that cheers you on while you pose, if you want one. Siri, Shortcuts and Control Center. 100 free photos every month. Gobo Pro, a one-time purchase, unlocks unlimited exports without a watermark, forever.
