What Fuzzlecheck is
Fuzzlecheck is film preproduction software for building shooting schedules from screenplay details. It imports PDF scripts and extracts scene numbers, locations, interior or exterior settings, day or night, speaking roles, and script pages. Those details support breakdowns, stripboard scheduling, calendars, and other reports, with exports to PDF, Word, LibreOffice Writer, and some spreadsheet formats. The software tracks actor, location, and crew availability by day or hour and warns about conflicts. It also supports cast and crew tracking, location management, and call sheets. Fuzzlecheck runs on macOS and Windows. Standard is intended for basic schedules, Pro for professional users needing more tools and print customization, and Units for productions coordinating multiple teams or series. Online Projects allow simultaneous collaboration for up to 4, 8, or 20 people depending on edition; Pro and Units include individual access rights. A free trial allows users to try editions and Online Projects, but trial projects cannot be printed or saved and are deleted after 24 hours. Single-user licenses last five years for one user and cover file-based projects; Online Projects require a separate ticket.
