Everything a production plan needs, in one file

One plan, five views, and a schedule that calculates itself. The plan lives on your own computer or shared drive, and works without the internet.

One plan, five views

The same cards, seen the way each person needs them

Graph

Every card and every link

See what waits for what. Collapse a branch, move cards where you like, and select a card to edit its status, owner, length and dates in the panel. The critical path is marked.

Nothing is forced into a fixed layout. You arrange the graph.

Timeline

Bars from the calculated dates

Dates come from lengths, links and your working calendar, with weekends and holidays skipped. Save a baseline to see how far the plan has moved.

The timeline shows the plan. It does not track hours worked.

Table

Rows you can sort, filter and edit

Edit status, owner, due date and length in place. Add columns of your own, paste a range copied from Excel, and import or export Excel and CSV files.

Formulas work from a card's own values and from the cards below it, not from other cells.

Board

Columns by status

Drag cards between To do, In progress, Blocked and Done, or between the custom statuses your studio uses. Each status has a kind that decides what it means for progress and the critical path.

Status grid

One row per shot, one column per department

See at a glance which shot is waiting on which department. Cells are coloured by status and show who owns the work.

Home

A page that says what needs attention

Dashboard

Progress, risks, forecast and workload

Progress by sequence, what is late, what is blocked, which cards have no owner or no estimate, and a forecast of the finish date from the work already finished. Each risk has a one-click fix.

The forecast says "not enough data" until finished work gives it something to project from.

Workload

Who has too much, and when

Working days of work per person and per department, week by week, with over-allocation marked. Part-time people and holidays are taken into account.

More than a planner

The parts that replace the spreadsheet around it

Custom fields and formulas

Text, number, date, list, person, checkbox and link columns, plus calculated columns that work from a card or roll up from the cards below it.

Excel and CSV in and out

Import a sheet and map its columns, paste ranges into the table, export back to Excel with real dates and numbers.

Automation rules

When a task becomes Done, set the next one to ready and tell the owner. Test a rule before you switch it on.

Handoffs and checklists

Pass work to the next department with a note, tick checklist items, and record approvals with who and when.

Reports

Send a status report as a page, a PDF or a spreadsheet, or have one written every Monday by a small command.

Saved views

Keep a filter you use often, such as "Mira, blocked, this week", and open it in one click.

Safe by design

Autosave, versions, backups to a second folder and a recovery area. A saved file is checked to be complete.

Blender add-on

Link the open Blender scene to its card from inside Blender. Other tools are not supported yet.

What it does not do. It does not store your asset files, play review video, track hours or send invoices. Changes from other people arrive when files sync, not live. It runs on Windows and Linux, not on a Mac yet.
