Cueboard is a simple, focused tool for planning video shoots. Built for solo creators and small teams who need to organize their creative flow and shots, without the complexity of full production management software.
Cueboard combines the simplicity of Notes with powerful content and shot organization for creators. It's the familiar iOS experience you already know, but purpose-built for content creation.
Who It's For
Cueboard is designed for creators who want something better than scattered ideas but don't need heavyweight project management tools.
- YouTubers planning content
- Indie filmmakers organizing shoots
- Content creators managing multiple projects
- Small production teams coordinating work
- Influencers on the go
- Anyone who needs a better creative workflow
What It Does
Cueboard helps you capture ideas when inspiration strikes. Plan your creativity and execute your vision. Every feature is built to keep you creating, not organizing (we'll handle that).
Core Features
- Flow Mode (⌘F): Rapid data entry without lifting hands from keyboard—auto-focus on new cues, quick type switching with ⌘1-9, and commit-and-continue workflow
- Edit Mode (⌘E): Inline editing of existing cues and operations
- Reorder Mode (⌘R): Visual drag handles to reorder shots while maintaining hierarchy
- Hierarchical organization: Folders, projects, cues, and subcues for complete creative structure
- Visuals & Storyboards: Import images to create visual references and storyboards for your shots
- Custom Cue Types: Create unlimited custom types with unique shapes (11 options) and colors that sync across devices
- Cue Director: Turn any idea into a structured shot list with AI planning, powered by Apple Intelligence.
- Templates: Export projects as .cbt templates and import them to start new projects with pre-built structure
- Export Options: Export to PDF (high-quality with images), DOCX (Microsoft Word compatible), or .cbt templates
- iCloud Sharing: Share projects and folders with read-only or read-write permissions, with real-time sync
- Colors of Collaboration: Color-coded indicators show ownership and permissions at a glance (None, Yellow, Cyan, Indigo, Purple, Gray)
- Offline-first design: Work in airplane mode or on remote sets—everything saves locally first and syncs when you reconnect

- Keyboard shortcuts: Comprehensive shortcuts for power users on iPad and Mac (⌘F, ⌘E, ⌘R, ⌘1-9, and more)
- Native iOS experience: Familiar interface with dark mode support and platform-native design
What It's Not
Cueboard is not a scheduling tool, time tracker, or full production suite. It's a focused shot list app that does one thing well: helping you organize and execute your video shoots.
No social features. No complex workflows. No learning curve. Just a clean, fast tool for planning your shots and checking them off as you go.
The Philosophy
Cueboard is built by a video creator for video creators. Plan your content without friction, in an app that was designed and built for creative flow.
We believe in tools that get out of your way. Tools that feel native to your workflow. Tools that respect your time and creative energy.
Tap. Type. Confirm.
Cue it. Do it.
