Story Artist

Storyboards, organised.

Story Artist lays out, numbers and exports your boards, so you can spend your time on the drawing. Made by a working storyboard artist for directors, producers and everyone else on the production.

What it does

Projects, scenes and shots

Keep a whole film, episode or commercial in one project. Split it into scenes and drag shots into any order.

Numbering done for you

Shot numbers update by themselves when you move things around. Linked frames stay together as 12a, 12b, 12c.

Alternate cuts

Duplicate a scene as an Alt to try a different cut without touching the original. Make any Alt the primary when you've decided.

Notes, comments and labels

Type notes straight under each frame. Add comments and colour labels, and mark up frames with arrows, boxes and text.

Export for the room

Print-ready PDFs (landscape A4 by default) in a grid or table layout, picture sequences and a shot list.

Safe with your work

Saves as you go, keeps rolling backups and a Recently Deleted list. Your originals are never touched.

Private by design

Story Artist collects nothing. There's no account, no tracking and no analytics, and the app never goes online. Your boards stay on your Mac, which suits confidential jobs. Read the privacy policy.

Story Artist Pro

A separate app for artists, with a full drawing engine, layers and brushes, is in the works. TODO: wording and timing for Pro
