Terms of Use

The rules of the road

Last updated:

These terms cover your use of ShotList for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. By using the app, you agree to them. Most of it is common sense — we've kept it short.


The app

ShotList is a planning tool for filmmakers. You can use it to plan shoots, generate shot lists via AI providers you configure, and export PDFs. The app is provided as-is. We try to make it work well, but we don't guarantee it'll be free of bugs or that it'll suit every use case.

Your content

Anything you create in ShotList — scripts, treatments, shot lists, voice memos, captured frames — belongs to you. We don't take ownership of your work. We also don't see it; everything is stored on your device.

You're responsible for the content you put into the app. Don't use it for anything illegal, and don't use it in ways that violate the terms of the AI providers you connect (Anthropic, OpenAI).

Free and Pro

ShotList Free lets you keep one active project. Every feature works on Free — you just can't accumulate projects. To remove the limit, upgrade to Pro.

Pro is available as:

Subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel. You can manage or cancel any time from your Apple ID account settings. The lifetime purchase is one-off, with no recurring charges, and is shareable via Apple's Family Sharing.

Refunds for Apple charges are handled by Apple, not by us. Apple's standard refund policy applies.

AI providers

If you use ShotList's AI features with Anthropic or OpenAI, you provide your own API key. You're billed by them, not by us. Their usage policies and pricing apply. We don't add any markup, and we don't proxy your requests — they go directly from your device to the provider.

The Foundation Models (Apple Intelligence) option runs entirely on your device with no external dependencies.

What you shouldn't do

Don't reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the app. Don't try to abuse the in-app purchase system. Don't use the app to plan or facilitate illegal activity. None of this is novel — the App Store's own terms cover most of it.

Termination

You can stop using the app at any time. If you do something genuinely abusive (rare, but worth saying), we may revoke your access on future installs.

Liability

ShotList is provided without warranty. To the extent allowed by law, we're not liable for indirect or consequential damages from using the app — missed shots, lost projects, wrong location pins, that sort of thing. We'd rather things didn't go wrong; if they do, the realistic remedy is a refund through Apple and a bug report.

Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date and, where it matters, mentioned in App Store release notes.
