Built for film

who value craft
Film Notes is a focused companion app for filmmakers, cinematographers, and video creators who need a fast, reliable way to capture detailed notes on set. It’s designed to live quietly alongside your camera, helping you track shots, lenses, locations, and creative decisions so you can move faster in production and stay organized in post.
Why Film Notes Exists
On real shoots, details disappear quickly: which take felt best, which lens you loved, how the light changed, what the director asked for next time. Film Notes helps you keep those details in one place, structured and searchable, instead of scattered across paper notebooks, random photos, and chat threads.
Give you a professional, production-ready logbook that never gets in your way.
Our goal is simple
Key Features
Log rolls, scenes, takes, lenses, focal lengths, and quick comments right as you shoot.
Production Ready Shot Notes
Capture where you shot, how the space behaved, and what to remember if you return.
Location Aware Details
Attach reference images and notes that help you and your team stay aligned in post.
Visual Companion
Large tap targets, clear typography, and flows optimized for one‑handed, on‑the‑move use.
Designed for speed
Privacy & Data Protection
Film Notes is built with a privacy‑first philosophy:
Your data belongs to you: Notes, images, and metadata you create are yours. We do not sell your data to third parties.
No hidden tracking: We do not use invasive tracking, cross‑app profiling, or hidden analytics that follow you outside the app.
Minimal, transparent analytics (if enabled): We may use privacy‑respecting, aggregated analytics to understand which features are used, so we can improve the app. These analytics do not include your personal notes, photos, or project content.
Secure storage: Your data is stored using modern iOS security best practices. Where cloud services are involved (for backup or sync, if you enable them), they are chosen for reliability and strong privacy protections.
Clear controls: You can review and adjust permissions such as notifications, location, and photo access at any time in your device settings.
For full details, please read our Privacy Policy available within the app.
