Film pre-production software for shot lists, storyboards, and call sheets that syncs across devices.
Grounded in available product and source data
Being offline on a physical set is the condition most production software has to work around, and CineLog is built local-first specifically for that: the site states it functions fully offline and syncs automatically the moment a connection returns, rather than requiring a live connection to stay usable.
The core workflow centers on shot lists and storyboards that sync across a team as production details change, plus a centralized cast and crew roster with role-based access control so different people on set see only what's relevant to them. Call sheets are generated directly from the schedule and pull cast and crew data automatically, which replaces manually re-typing the same names and call times into a new sheet for every shoot day.
Beyond the core pre-production tools, the site also lists a script editor, AV script support, script breakdown, and script lining — features that extend CineLog from scheduling and logistics into script-side prep, though the page doesn't detail how deeply those integrate with the shot list and call sheet workflow versus functioning as separate modules.
The team is named on the site — including a co-founder described as a working director of photography — which supports the "built by a director, for directors" framing, but the page doesn't state team size beyond the individuals named, or how support requests are handled for a distributed crew relying on it mid-shoot. A production considering it for a time-sensitive shoot should confirm support responsiveness directly rather than assume it from the site alone.
Yes — the site states it's built on a local-first architecture with full offline functionality, and syncs automatically once the device reconnects, which is specifically aimed at physical sets where a reliable connection isn't guaranteed.
Directly from the schedule, according to the site, pulling in data from the Cast & Crew list automatically rather than requiring names and call times to be typed in separately for each sheet.
The site states real-time collaboration is available to the whole crew at no additional cost, though it doesn't detail whether that applies identically across every plan tier — worth confirming on the pricing page for a specific crew size.
The site lists script editor, AV script, script breakdown, and script lining as part of the platform, but doesn't specify on the page how tightly they connect to shot lists and scheduling versus operating as their own section.
