Shoot Planner: Photo Shot List

Plan the shoot before the shoot. Shoot Planner is a photo shoot planner and shot list app for photographers and filmmakers — and every part of it works offline. Most tools do one thing: a moodboard, or a shot list, or a sun calculator. Shoot Planner chains them into one pipeline — references to shots to locations to lighting to storyboard to gear — then follows you into the field on the day. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL The golden hour engine and the field mode are fully on-device. No signal on a canyon rim, in a basement venue, or on a plane means nothing to this app. Your shoot day does not depend on a login screen loading. SHOT LIST Build a shot list with priorities, descriptions, focal length and camera notes. Assign shots to a day, drag to reorder, and mark each one captured as you go. REFERENCES AND MOODBOARD Collect a visual moodboard per project — shoot with the camera, pull from your photo library, or paste a Pinterest, Instagram or web link and the image and title are fetched for you. Browse it as a masonry gallery and filter by tag. REFERENCE TO SHOT, IN ONE TAP Turn any reference into a shot, permanently linked. On set you see the inspiration image beside the shot you are taking — not buried in a different app on a different tab. GOLDEN HOUR AND BLUE HOUR An offline solar engine gives sunrise, sunset, the golden hour window with its exact duration, blue hour, and the sun path for every day and location in your plan. No network, no subscription wall, no waiting for a map tile. LOCATION SCOUTING AND MAP Geo-tag each shot and see the whole project as numbered pins in shooting order. Save access notes — parking, gate codes, permit restrictions, the walk in — and hand off to your maps app for directions. STORYBOARD Lay scenes out as horizontal filmstrips, drag to sequence them, and set per-shot durations with realistic travel and setup gaps between them. See whether the day actually fits before you promise it. GEAR LIBRARY AND PACKING LIST Keep a reusable inventory of bodies, lenses, support, power, filters and drone kit. Build a packing list per project and watch the packed progress climb. Stop arriving without the one lens the shot needed. SHOOT MODE The reason this is not just another planning document. One-handed, one shot at a time: the current shot with its reference image, a live golden hour countdown, a big capture button, skip and advance, and a place for on-set notes. The screen stays awake. It runs entirely offline and syncs when you are back in service. TEMPLATES AND REMINDERS Save any project as a template and reuse it, or start from Wedding Essentials, Location Scout or Brand Day. Set shoot-relative reminders — pack gear two hours before call — and push shoot days to your device, Google or Apple calendar. WHO IT IS FOR Wedding, portrait, landscape, brand and commercial photographers. Videographers and filmmakers running their own film pre-production. Solo shooters who plan properly and want the plan in their hand on the day. BUILT FOR THE WAY SHOOT DAYS ACTUALLY GO Your shooting schedule slips because the light moved, the location was gated, or the client added a setup. Shoot Planner is built to be edited on the day, not admired the night before. Reorder the shot list in the field, re-check the sunrise and sunset times for the new spot, mark the shots you got, and keep the photo shoot checklist honest as the day changes around you. PRICING Free to use, with a capped number of projects. Pro unlocks unlimited projects at $6.99/month or $59.99/year — around 28% off annually — and starts with a 7-day free trial.
