What Slatefox is
Slatefox is a web-based production planning tool for indie crews preparing scripts for shoots. Paste in script text to create scenes and characters, or use the AI Script Parser to produce scenes, cast, and breakdowns in one pass. Users can build a stripboard, schedule shoot days on a calendar, and view page totals. Slatefox generates PDF call sheets with sun, weather, and cast call times, and automatically creates day-out-of-days reports. Continuity notes and photos can be pinned to scenes. The Day Simulator updates overtime, daylight, turnaround, and day structure as users explore schedule changes. Auto Day-Out proposes scene groupings based on location, interior or exterior, day or night, and cast availability; users review suggestions before applying them. Slatefox says it works offline, requires no account, and keeps scripts on users' devices. Cloud sync is available to sync productions across devices. The Free plan is free; Indie is €19 a month, and Studio is €59 a month.
