What it does

Scout and prep

  • Sun and moon planner with golden and blue hours and an AR sun path, saved for offline use

Free, with Pro a one-time unlock

Cinewright for iPhone and iPad is free, with Pro a one-time unlock and no subscription. There is no account and no sign-in, and it works offline. Some tools need LiDAR, an iPad with USB-C or Apple Intelligence. Cinewright for Android is in development.

Pro is $59.99 once ($49.99 for the first two weeks after the App Store launch). A Production Pass gives Pro to a production’s shared iPhones and iPads for 30 days ($19.99) or 90 days ($39.99); it doesn’t renew. Schools get Pro for $39 through offer codes they give their students. Everyone who follows the Kickstarter campaign gets 30 days of Pro free. Prices in US dollars; see every price.

Free without Pro: the viewfinder (ARRI cameras and three lens sets), every calculator, the sun planner, the slate, the crew show, and the script supervisor on the first three pages of any script, or one whole production free for 60 days.
