Shotboard workspace with images, Capture One sync, layout tools, presentation and export controls

A quick look — Shotboard in action

Built for the shoot

Shotboard is a standalone tool for digital operators, photographers, assistants, art directors — and anyone who needs a clear visual plan for the day.

Build moodboards and storyboards before, during or after a shoot, without the extra machinery of software made for image manipulation.

From selects to delivery

Import directly from Capture One

Connect a Capture One Smart Album and Shotboard checks it for newly selected images, then brings them automatically onto the board — edits and all. It can start checking whenever that board opens.

Tools made for boards

Add images, arrange or shuffle the sequence, and use purpose-built layout controls — fitted rows, aligned unfilled rows, new spreads, rows per spread and gap, an optional title page and background colours. Photos are never cropped; every layout shows each one whole. All without the extra machinery of an image editor.

Add your branding

Add your studio, client or production identity with board titles, logos and brand artwork, so every working board is ready to share with the wider team.

Present without the controls

Switch to a clean, full-board presentation view when the work is ready for the room. The tools fall away so the images, titles and branding stay in focus.

Export and send

Export the finished board and save it with a clear file name, ready to send to the people who need the visual plan or final story.

System requirements

  • Mac

    Apple Silicon only (M1, M2, M3, M4 or later). It won't open on an Intel Mac.

  • macOS

    macOS 13 Ventura or later recommended.

  • Disk space

    About 12 MB for the app.

  • Internet

    Once, to activate the licence key; offline after that. It re-checks the key at most weekly, and being offline never locks you out.

  • Capture One (only for the live smart-album sync)

    Capture One 23 or later. macOS asks once for permission to let Shotboard control it. Dragging images in and folder sync don't need Capture One.
