How It Works

Built to be in your kit,
not your bookmarks.

Track scenes. Own time. Direct better.

01 — Build

Build the day

Shots with lens, frame rate, cast, dialogue, reference image. Drag to reorder. Estimates per shot. Times update automatically.

02 — Run

Run the day

One tap, know what's rolling and what's next. Live timer every second you're on set. Always know where you stand.

03 — Recover

Recover the day

Behind by 5 min? See the new wrap, meal-penalty risk, and 3 specific cuts to get back on track. No math. Just the answer.

No surprise overtime

Meal window and wrap target tracked live. You'll know you're close before you blow it.

Smart cuts, not guesswork

When you're behind, Pocket Director tells you exactly which shot to drop and how much time it saves.

Built for the set, not the desk

Big type, dark screen, one tap. Readable on a C-stand at arm's length.

Track scenes. Own time. Direct better.
