How it works

From first draft to final pickup,
in one place.

Haystack follows your production the way you actually work: script in, set day after set day, wrap. Here's the shape of it, end to end.

- no lost Polaroids, ever

Import

Bring in your script

Upload the script and Haystack reads it for you, pulling out the scenes and characters so you start with a breakdown, not a blank page. Revised draft turns up? Bring it in and see exactly what changed.

Set up

Build your world

Set up your scenes, characters, and the changes and looks they wear. Link a change or look to every scene it appears in, so the connection is made once and holds for the whole shoot.

On set

Capture on set

Shoot reference from your phone and it lands keyed to the right scene, character and change. Add wear notes for the detail that matters, and pin annotations straight onto the photo. No folders, no guesswork.

Match

Stay matched, however it shoots

Sort by shoot date to match the call sheet, jump to any scene, and see what matched last time. Out-of-order days stop being a problem to solve and become just another day.

Find

Find anything fast

Log your garments and kit, pack them into boxes, and tag the pieces that matter with NFC. A tap of your phone opens the record. Less time on the rails, more time on the work.

Together

Work anywhere, together

App on the floor, web at the truck, the same live data. It works offline and catches up when signal returns, and keeps itself current in the background. Bring your crew on at the access level you choose.

Two departments, one production.

Costume and Hair & Make up each get their own view, in their own language, working off the same board.

Costume

Changes, garments, the whole rail

Build changes, log what's worn in every scene, and catalogue the garments behind them, from fitting to wrap.

  • Changes
  • Garments
  • Wardrobe
  • Boxes
Hair & Make up

Looks, kit, every angle

Build looks, track the products and kit behind them, and match every state from every angle.
