One shoot becomes ten posts. Shootboard keeps all ten on one board.
The same footage goes out as a Reel, a Short, a carousel and a story — each with its own caption, cover text and time slot. You tick them off as they go out; Shootboard keeps the list of what is still waiting.
It works without an account too — your calendar stays in that browser. Sign in and the same plan follows you to your phone.
The planning desk of a team that makes content.
One shoot happens, and ten separate posts come out of it. A Reel, a Short, a carousel, a story, a text post. Each has its own caption, cover text, time and platform. To keep track of that, most people look at a spreadsheet, a notes app and three separate chats at once.
Shootboard puts all of it on one board: ideas, scripts, projects and the publishing calendar. You jot down an idea, turn it into a script, open a project once the shoot is real, and drop the posts onto the calendar. The order isn't mandatory — start wherever you like.
It works without an account. When you sign in, the same plan sits on your computer, your phone and your tablet at the same time.
What it is not
- Not an auto-poster. Shootboard holds the plan and you publish. One exception, off by default: Instagram and Facebook can go out on schedule if you connect your own account.
- Not an analytics dashboard. It doesn't count views and likes — the platforms' own tools already do that.
- Not heavy project-management software. There's a seven-step production flow, and that's it. Nothing to set up.
One shoot, ten posts
The same footage, ten different exitsFrom an idea to a published post
Shootboard follows the order the work actually happens in. But that order isn't mandatory: a script can exist without a project, and a project can start without a single idea.
One idea, all the way through
The order is the work's own — not a ruleIdea
An angle, a question, a scene. Write it on a card and leave it there.
Script
Write the text yourself or have AI draft it. It travels to and from Drive.
Project
Once the shoot is real, it gets its seven-step row.
Calendar
Drop the posts onto a day and a time slot.
Published
Tick them off as they go out. What's waiting stays on the list.
Twelve parts, one board
Click a heading and it takes you to the section that explains what that part does.
Ideas
A wall of cards. Merge them, pull them apart, filter them.

Go to the detail →A wall of cards
Every idea is a card: an angle, a question, a scene, a person to talk to. The height of the card shows at a glance how much you've written. Drop one card on top of another and the two merge into a single card; drag a piece out of a merged card and it becomes its own card again.
- Drop it in the middle to merge, drop it at the edge to reorder.
- Filter by project and search — two separate filters.
- An idea doesn't have to belong to a project. Link it when it earns one.
Your text, and Google Drive
A script isn't a field inside a project — it's a record of its own. So you can write it before the project exists, and one project can have several scripts. You can pull the text in from a Google Doc and write it back after editing — as a new document or over the old one, you choose every time.
- Pull it from Drive, edit it here, write it back to Drive.
- “Revert” brings back the text as it was before the import or the AI draft.
- Writing a script ticks the project's “script” step for you.
Write with AI — using your own key
You connect a free Google Gemini key from the side menu and Shootboard drafts for you. Tick the ideas the script should be built on, say what you want in one sentence, hit Write. Your project, its type, its keywords and the ideas you picked go along with the request; your key stays in your browser and the request goes straight to Google — no Shootboard server in between.
- Tick the ideas → they become the material of the script, not background.
- If you name a word count, it's treated as a floor, not a target.
- Title, cover text and caption each have their own ✨ button.
Seven steps, one row
A shoot isn't a single post: script, filming, audio, edit, approval, packaging, publishing. Every project is one row carrying those seven steps, so everyone sees where the work is. The strip on top counts them for you, finished projects drop to the bottom, and a project that falls through gets marked cancelled instead of deleted.
- Summary strip: total, script ready, filmed, published, waiting for approval, cancelled.
- Search finds finished and cancelled projects too.
- Each project's row says how many ideas and how many scripts it has.
You always go back to the same place
If you shoot on location, you record a place once: address, map, who grants permission and how long it takes, and what to watch out for there — no tripod indoors, power only in the courtyard, crowded before noon. Link a project to the place and all of it shows up inside the project window, read live rather than copied: update the place's note and every project shot there sees the new version.
- A card is never blank: your photo if there is one, otherwise a map square drawn from the coordinates, otherwise initials in a colour of their own.
- The map comes from OpenStreetMap — no key, no account, no fee.
- Permission and warning notes drop into the shot-day checklist by themselves.
- One project can be tied to several places; one place carries all the projects shot there.
One page before you leave the house
Power bank, lights, make-up kit, the spare battery you forgot last time. You write each thing once and it stays in your library; for every shoot you tick the ones you need off that library instead of typing them again. Groups you reach for often — an interview kit, a night shoot — get saved as a set and land in the list in one tap.
- The needs library is written once and used on every shoot.
- Sets you build yourself add a whole group of items at once.
- Permission and warning notes from the location arrive on their own and are marked as coming from there.
- Every item can carry a note of its own; what you tick is counted at the top.
A deadline for every step
Each of the seven steps can carry its own date. You enter them in a single window instead of seven boxes scattered across a table. A date that passes while its step is still unticked turns red on its own, and the strip at the top of the Projects page tells you how many have slipped.
- One window, seven dates.
- What's late turns red without you doing anything.
- Ticking the step closes the matter — the date stops nudging you.
Two independent tags
Every entry carries both what it is (Reel, Short, video, story, carousel…) and where it goes (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and more). Those are deliberately separate: the same footage goes out as a Reel on Instagram and a Short on YouTube. You can filter on either or both; the project filter now has its own search box too.
- Month, week, day and table views of the same plan.
- Press and drag an entry to another day — with a mouse or a finger.
- Planning for several countries? Give the entry its own time zone.
Everything for one post
Open a cell and the caption, the tags, the video title the viewer will see, the short text for the cover and the cover-image brief are all in front of you — each copied with one tap. The same footage going out from three places? Duplicate it and just enter the new dates.
- A ✨ AI button next to the title, the cover text and the caption.
- Duplicating keeps everything and only asks you for the new dates.
- You tick “published” yourself — Shootboard doesn't listen to the platforms.
- On YouTube long-form and Shorts the title, description, tags and cover text can be written in several languages — the calendar stamps which ones are ready.
One video, everyone's own language
YouTube carries a title and a description in several languages on a single video: the German viewer reads German, the Turkish viewer reads Turkish, and it is the same upload. Shootboard is where you prepare that — a language strip opens in the entry window, and pressing a tab switches the four fields the viewer actually sees over to that language. The ✨ button translates what you already wrote instead of inventing a second, different text for the same video.
- Title, description, tags and cover text — everything the viewer sees, not your own notes.
- The calendar stamps each entry with the languages that are ready, so you see it without opening anything.
- It appears only on YouTube long-form and Shorts. Elsewhere another language means another post, so the strip would only be in the way.
- Change the platform and the translations stay where they are — nothing is thrown away behind your back.
Write the closing once
The standard closing of a caption — your handles, links, a call to action — is written once and appended to the end of every caption; what you wrote for that particular post always stays on top. If one platform needs different wording, you define an exception for that platform and the rest carry on with the general text.
- It goes at the END; your own words always come first.
- An exception for any platform you like.
- It drops in the moment you pick a platform on a new entry.
The same plan on every device
When you sign in, your calendar, your projects, your ideas, your scripts and your templates come with you to every device. Everything works without signing in too — it just stays in that browser. When you open Shootboard, whatever hasn't gone out yet meets you as a list, so nothing quietly slides past its date.
- Google or an email link — no password to invent.
- A deletion leaves a tombstone: what you deleted never comes back to life.
- The pending list can be dismissed for the session; the ⏳ button reopens it.
