// The Problem

Every film set runs on two broken tools.

Walkie talkies

Rental model unchanged since 1985. Lost on every shoot. Need batteries. Need rental contracts. Someone runs them to the truck at lunch to charge.

$300–500/day rental + $200–500 per lost unit

Paper call sheets

Stale before the day starts. Reprinted six times when the schedule shifts. Lost in the wardrobe truck. The AD updates one. The crew works from another. Chaos compounds.

No version control. No live updates. No record after wrap.
// The Product

One app. Every department. Even offline.

SetSync replaces both tools with a single live coordination layer. The AD updates once. Every crew member's phone updates instantly. Works without signal. Wraps cleanly into a 90-day archive.

01 / Live

Cast board

Who's on set, who's in HMU, who's still in transit. Real-time. Department heads see it at a glance.

02 / Pivot

Smart day reorder

When the lead is 45 minutes late, SetSync reorders the day in 30 seconds. Tags every department. Zero phone calls.

03 / Voice

Push-to-talk

Every phone is a walkie. Channels per department. Director-only. AD broadcast. No hardware, no rental, no replacement.

04 / Sheet

Live call sheet

One source of truth. Updates push to every crew member's phone. PDF export when you need it on paper.

05 / Offline

Works without signal

Built for remote locations. Bush, basements, mountain shoots. Syncs when signal returns.

06 / Cast

Actor-side view

Cast see only their scenes, lines, and call times. Private. Updates instantly. No emailing wrong-version sides.

07 / Continuity

Digital continuity

Encrypted scene markup. Photos. EOD reports auto-generated. Continuity supervisor's work never lives on a personal phone.

08 / Rolling

Rolling Mode

One tap silences the set. Notifications muted. Vibrations off. Only the AD or director can call CUT. Quiet on set, enforced.

09 / Archive

90-day archive

Post-production needs continuity 6–8 weeks after wrap. Everything stays. One-tap PDF export. Then auto-deleted.

// Why now

Pre-production has a hundred apps.
The shoot day has none.

StudioBinder, Movie Magic, SetHero — all pre-production. Plan the shoot, then the software stops mattering at 6 AM on day one.

The shoot day is where money burns. Where actors are late. Where weather kills a setup. Where the AD calls twelve departments and waits.

Walkie talkies haven't been rebuilt since 1985. Call sheets are still paper. Every other industry got live coordination tools twenty years ago. Film sets didn't.

SetSync is the live coordination layer that should already exist.

The Development Room

Nairobi-based production company. Building the tools and stories the industry needs.

"Twenty years on film sets. Every role from runner to director. I've been the AD calling twelve departments when the lead actor is forty-five minutes late. I built the tool I needed every single day."

SetSync was built from inside the problem. Not by a product manager who watched a documentary about film sets, but by an AD who has actually charged walkies during lunch.

Every feature exists because something on a real set was broken. Smart pivot exists because actors are always late. Rolling mode exists because phones go off mid-take. Cast sides exist because the wrong version always gets emailed.
