Start from a ready-made template
Pick a board to see what you can build, then let AI fill it in. Every template is a real, editable starting point on the same infinite canvas.
Pre-Production
Pull the brief, script, shot list, and moodboard into one pre-production hub so the whole shoot is planned in one place.
Looking for a SetHero alternative?
SetHero is a call sheet tool focused on building daily call sheets and getting them to the crew, with text and email distribution and confirmation tracking. It is good at the send-and-confirm side, and its features are paid.
People look for a SetHero alternative when they want a free plan, or when they want the call sheet built from the schedule and kept next to the rest of pre-production rather than in a call-sheet tool on its own.
Storyflow builds and shares call sheets on a free AI canvas. Point the AI at your shooting schedule and it drafts a structured call sheet, which sits next to the shot list, scene strips, and location map on the same board. Share a view-only link so the crew opens the current version, or export a print-ready PDF.
One honest note on scope: SetHero handles automated text and email distribution with read receipts and confirmations across a crew. Storyflow shares by view-only link and PDF, not automated SMS confirmations. For building the call sheet and keeping it with the plan for free, Storyflow is the option; for tracked distribution, a dedicated tool still helps.
HOW IT WORKS
Build a call sheet in four steps.
The AI drafts it from your schedule and the plan sits beside it.
01
Open a free canvas
Sign up in seconds, no credit card, and your infinite canvas opens in the browser.
02
Point the AI at your schedule
Bring in the shooting schedule and scenes, or describe the shoot day.
03
Generate and refine the sheet
The AI drafts the call sheet with call times, scenes, cast, and location to refine.
04
Share or export
Send a view-only link so the crew opens the current sheet, or export a PDF.

Next to the schedule and shot list
The details match the plan
Because the schedule and shot list are on the same board, the call sheet draws its times and scenes from them.

WHY SWITCH
Call sheets that live with the whole plan.
Storyflow builds the sheet from the schedule and keeps it on the same board.
Every standard section, filled
A complete call sheet, drafted
Call times and scenes: General and department call times, scenes, page counts, and cast.
Location and safety: Address, parking, nearest hospital, weather, and meals.
Contacts and moves: Key contacts and any company moves, laid out in order.
Built from the schedule
No re-typing the details
Draws from the plan: Call times and scenes come from the schedule on the same board.
AI drafts it: Point the AI at the schedule and it assembles the sheet for you.
Stays in sync: Change a call time and update in one place instead of a re-typed copy.
Share it cleanly
One version the crew sees
View-only link: Cast and crew open the current sheet on any device without an account.
Print-ready PDF: Export a clean PDF for the on-set binder.
Updates stay current: Change a detail and the shared link shows the latest version.
Honest about scope
Where each tool fits
Storyflow builds and shares: It drafts the call sheet from the plan and shares it by link or PDF, for free.
SetHero distributes: For automated text and email with confirmation tracking, a distribution tool goes further.
Use them together: Build the sheet in Storyflow and distribute with a dedicated tool if a big crew needs it.
Explore templates for your project
Every template opens as a real, editable board on the infinite canvas. Pick the closest fit and make it your own.
Pre-Production
Pull the brief, script, shot list, and moodboard into one pre-production hub so the whole shoot is planned in one place.

What creators are saying
Join early creators getting structured workspaces and AI that remembers their projects
“Storyflow has sped up my workflow by at least 3x, which means more flow state and more projects I can actually ship. It truly changed the way me and my team create.”
Reilin Joey
Director & YouTuber
“One prompt gets me a structured board. But the tactics are my favorite. I run my YouTube scripts through them and my intros and retention got better. It's amazing.”
Justkay
YouTuber & Freelance Filmmaker
“I used to juggle five apps to plan a project. Now I describe what I am making and get boards, lists, and a schedule. All in one place.”

SetHero alternative, answered.
What ADs and producers ask about switching to Storyflow.
For building and sharing call sheets, yes, and for free. Storyflow's AI drafts the call sheet from your schedule and keeps it next to the plan. SetHero goes further on automated text and email distribution with confirmation tracking, which Storyflow does not do.
