Watch a real project come together, from a blank board to a finished plan, clicked through step by step.
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 Yamdu alternative?
Yamdu is a comprehensive film and TV production management platform. It coordinates the whole production across departments, with cast and crew, scheduling, call sheets, breakdowns, tasks, and documents in one cloud system. It is powerful, and priced for productions with a software budget line.
People look for a Yamdu alternative when they want a lighter and more visual way to work, simpler pricing than a full production suite, or AI that drafts the plan instead of records to fill in. That is where Storyflow fits for the planning and organizing side of a production.
Storyflow is an AI-native infinite canvas. Describe a project or paste a script and the AI lays out a structured plan, then builds the breakdown, storyboard, shot list, schedule, and call sheets on the same board. The crew works the board together in real time, and every collaborator you invite joins free, so the pieces stay connected instead of living in separate modules.
One honest note: Yamdu goes deeper on management, contact databases, and department workflows for large productions. Storyflow focuses on visual, AI-first planning. For indie and mid-size crews that want speed and a shared plan the whole team can join for free, Storyflow covers the planning; very large productions may still want a full management suite.

What a visual AI canvas adds to production planning.
Storyflow makes the plan visual, drafted by AI, and easy to share.
Visual and connected
One board, every piece
Plan side by side: Breakdown, schedule, shot list, and call sheets on one canvas.
Creative in the same place: Storyboard and moodboard sit next to the logistics, not apart from them.
Rearrange visually: Move scenes and regroup the schedule by dragging, not editing records.
AI does the drafting
The plan builds itself
From a prompt or script: The AI lays out the plan from what you give it.
One piece from another: Build a call sheet from the schedule or a shot list from the storyboard.
Whole-board context: Changes flow through because the AI holds the entire project.
Collaboration included
The whole crew, no seat cost
No per-seat pricing: Invite the crew and every collaborator joins free, with no expiry on the boards.
Real-time collaboration: The whole crew works the same board together.
View-only links: Share the plan with clients and stakeholders without giving edit access.
Honest about scope
Where each tool fits
Storyflow plans: It owns visual, AI-first pre-production planning for indie and mid-size crews.
Yamdu manages deeper: For large productions with heavy department and contact workflows, a full suite goes further.
Use them together: Plan visually in Storyflow, and hand off to a management suite if a big production needs it.

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.”

Yamdu alternative, answered.
What producers ask about switching to Storyflow.
For visual, AI-first production planning, yes. Storyflow puts the breakdown, storyboard, shot list, schedule, and call sheets on one canvas and drafts them from a prompt, with the crew collaborating live. Yamdu goes deeper on department and contact management for large productions, so very large teams may still want a full suite.
Not during early access. Storyflow is paid-only right now, with plans starting at $9.99 per month for unlimited boards, basic AI usage, and no expiry. A Free plan launches before the end of 2026, and anyone a paid member invites to the board joins free today, so the whole crew can collaborate at no extra cost.
Yes. Invite the director, producer, DP, and AD to collaborate in real time, and share view-only links with clients and stakeholders.
Yes. Describe the project or paste a script and the AI lays out the breakdown, schedule, shot list, and call sheets, keeping the context of your whole board.
No. Storyflow is a planning and organizing tool. It manages the plan, schedule, call sheets, and creative work, but does not run budgeting or payroll, so pair it with dedicated accounting software for those.
No. Storyflow runs in your browser. Sign up, open a board, and start planning on any device.
