ClappyBoard: Digital Slate
Sync marks for no-crew shoots
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Everything is free: unlimited takes, clapper or beep, the full take log and CSV export. Pro adds your own production name and a separate board for every job.
ClappyBoard is a digital clapperboard for shoots without a crew.
Hold anywhere to arm the board, release to mark. ClappyBoard fires a full-screen white flash carrying the exact time of day, scene and take — a frame an editor can find by eye and a waveform spike they can find by ear.
DESIGNED FOR ONE-PERSON SHOOTS
No second AC to hold the clapper, no timecode boxes to jam. Prop your phone, mark your take, get on with it.
THE WHOLE SLATE IS FREE
Every mark, every sound, the full log and CSV export — free, with no limit on takes and nothing held back until wrap. Free boards simply carry ClappyBoard as the production name.
CLAPPYBOARD PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NEVER A SUBSCRIPTION
- Put your own production name on the board
- Keep a separate board and log for every job you shoot
THE BOARD
- Landscape clapperboard layout, readable across a room
- Big ROLL, SCENE and TAKE boxes
- Live time-of-day readout at your production frame rate
- Two board styles: classic black or light
MARKING A TAKE
- Hold to arm, release to mark — stray taps never fire
- Full-screen flash with the mark's time, scene and take burned in
- Choose your clap sound: a real clapperboard recording or a 1 kHz beep
- Plays at full volume even with the ringer on silent
- Undo the last mark if you fumble it
FAST BETWEEN TAKES
- Takes count up automatically after every mark
- Swipe on SCENE to move forward or back; double-tap for the next scene
- Swipe on TAKE to nudge the number
- Go back to an earlier scene and takes pick up where you left off
A LOG YOU CAN TRUST AT WRAP
- Every mark recorded with scene, take, roll and time
- Nothing is ever rewritten — the log is what actually happened
- Export the whole shoot as a CSV to hand your editor
PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no tracking. Nothing about your shoot ever leaves your device — ClappyBoard works in airplane mode on a mountain, and it never asks for a single permission. The one time it touches the network is the moment you choose to buy Pro, and that goes through Apple.
ClappyBoard Pro unlocks permanently on your Apple Account and restores on any device you sign in with.
