Cinapse

Production scheduling software for film and television teams

Visit Cinapse

Cinapse is a cloud-based scheduling platform designed for film, television, commercial, and music video productions. It addresses the limitations of legacy scheduling tools by providing a single, shared workspace where production teams can collaborate in real time, eliminating the bottlenecks and version-control issues of single-user file-based workflows.

Key capabilities include a calendar view, episodic logic, custom layouts, and offline mode. The platform integrates with Final Draft, Scriptation, Set Hero, Dolly Card, and Writer Duet, with upcoming integrations for Wrapbook, Everyset, and Saturation. It is built for assistant directors, UPMs, and producers.

Cinapse offers a free Starter plan for evaluation, a Professional subscription for individuals, and per-day production plans (Independent and Studio) billed by shoot day with included seats. Enterprise plans with custom pricing are available for larger organizations. Additional editor and viewer seats can be added to production plans.
