STORYBOARD APP
One storyboard app for
every machine you work on.
Storyflow runs in any browser with nothing to install, and as a desktop app for Mac and Windows. It is the same workspace everywhere, so the board you close at the studio is the board you open at home. Free forever, no credit card.

What is a storyboard app?
A storyboard app is software for planning a story visually: scenes laid out as frames, notes attached to each one, and the order easy to change as the idea evolves. Most storyboard app options force a choice first. Desktop software ties your boards to one machine and an install. Web tools free you from the install but often feel like a lighter version of the real thing.
Storyflow is one storyboard app in two doors. Open it in any browser on Mac, Windows, or Linux with nothing to download, or install the desktop app for Mac and Windows if you want it one keystroke away. Either way you land in the same workspace: the same infinite canvas, the same boards, the same AI. There is no syncing step and nothing to export between versions, because there are no versions. It is one workspace.
That makes Storyflow a storyboard app you can adopt in seconds and grow into. Start free in the browser today, add the desktop app whenever you want, and your boards are simply there.
HOW IT WORKS
Start using the storyboard app in four steps.
No download required to begin. The desktop app is there when you want it.
01
Open a free canvas in the browser
Create a free account and you are inside the storyboard app in under a minute, no credit card asked. The browser version is the full app; the desktop app can come later.
02
Build your first board
Describe the story and the AI lays out scenes, structure, and notes on an infinite canvas, or start from a framework and build by hand.
03
Add the desktop app if you want it
Install Storyflow for Mac or Windows and sign in. Every board is already there, because it is the same workspace as the browser.
04
Finish from any machine
Browser or desktop, the closing pass is identical: tidy the frame order, sketch the final details, pin references, then hand the board off with a view-only link or an image or PDF export.
A storyboard app that does the heavy lifting.
AI layout, an infinite canvas, and every pre-production document in the same workspace.

AI lays out scenes, structure, and notes
Generate the board, then make it yours
Describe the story in plain language and the AI builds a storyboard layout on the canvas. Re-arrange, re-prompt, and sketch until it matches your head.

Shot lists and breakdowns next to the frames
Plan the whole shoot in one application
A storyboard application should not stop at frames. Branch into shot lists, breakdowns, and schedules on the same infinite canvas, next to the scenes they belong to.

Start from text, a script, or a blank canvas
Begin wherever your idea is
Type a two-sentence idea, paste a full script, or drop in a PDF. Whatever you have, the AI works from it and lays out the board.

Review links that work without installing the app
Share without making anyone install
Clients do not need the app at all. Send a view-only link they can open in any browser, or export a clean image or PDF for approvals.

ONE WORKSPACE EVERYWHERE
A storyboard app without a sync problem.
Browser and desktop are two doors into the same workspace, so your boards never fork into versions.

Runs in the browser, no install needed
Start in any browser in seconds
No installer needed: The full app runs in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Open a tab, sign in, and the canvas is ready.
Works on any computer: Mac at the studio, Windows at home, a borrowed laptop on set. If it has a browser, it has your boards.
Always current: The browser version updates itself. No installers to run and no version mismatch between machines.

Desktop app for Mac and Windows
Put the app one keystroke away
Mac and Windows: Install the Storyflow desktop app and keep your storyboards in their own window, out of the tab pile.
Same workspace as the browser: Boards stay in sync because there is nothing to sync. Desktop and browser open the exact same workspace.
Pick per machine: Use the desktop app on your main machine and the browser everywhere else. Your work does not care which door you came through.

AI native to the canvas
An app that builds boards with you
Layout from a prompt: Describe the story and the AI generates scenes, structure, and notes arranged on the infinite canvas.
A full framework library: Three-act structure, Hero's Journey, beat sheets, and over 200 more. Pick one or let the AI suggest a structure.
Context-aware iteration: The AI reads the active board, so 'tighten act two' or 'add coverage to scene four' works on what is already there.
Everything a board needs, on the board
Media, references, and exports built in
Rich media on frames: Drag and drop images, video, GIFs, PDFs, links, and notes onto the canvas, and grab stills from YouTube or Vimeo references.
Sketch with the pen tool: Rough in framing over the AI layout by hand. No drawing skills needed for a board the crew can read.
PDF and image export: Exports work the same from the browser and the desktop app: high-quality images and PDFs ready for decks, sign-offs, and set.
