Organise. Plan. Deliver. All in one place.

Workflow is the production studio on your Mac: outlines, projects, schedules, stories, and the paperwork that lands on a freelancer’s desk. Workspaces stay self-contained. Updates replace the app only — your data folder stays put.

Workflow — project management made simple

Latest version

Workflow 2.0.8

Universal Mac build (Apple silicon + Intel) · macOS 11 or newer · 15 October 2026

What’s new. Clips for every shoot day: clips, takes, stills and metadata together with previews, editable fields and ALE/CSV export. New Tools: DIT drive scanner and Find & copy. Saved schedules repair themselves (no more 2026 call times or stray units). Your projects and data folders are kept.

This is the current signed Mac build — the same file Workflow → Check for Updates… uses. Older releases are not listed here.

Workflow project overview — stats, progress, Gantt, and project health on a dark Mac desktop — Project Overview — totals, progress, Gantt, and health. Tag bullets `#todo` / `#doing` / `#done` and the charts fill in.

A short tour of the studio

The in-app tour (Help → Tour) walks this path. Here’s the same map, in plain language.

1. Sidebar

Workspaces, Quick links, Inbox, Projects, Scratch, Writing, Stories, Talent, Freelance tools. Create, rename, reorder, pin, or archive. Each workspace is its own box.

2. Tabs & tools

Open spaces as tabs. Undo / redo, Quick capture, import, export, Clarity, and ⌘K from the top bar — without leaving the page.

3. Main canvas

The active view: outline, list, board, calendar, Gantt, spider, flow, schedule, repository, Story Studio. Switch from View or the in-space toolbar.

4. Just now

Edits land in a Recent changes strip. Each chip names what changed. Undo reverses the latest one.

5. Story Studio

Beats, draft, Script Reader (cast, scenes, elements), TV / Film bibles. Import Final Draft, PDF, or Fountain — the script breaks into scenes you can rename, move, or delete.

6. Projects & schedule

Shooting boards, day strips, PDF import with a preview. Repository keeps copied call sheets, sides, RAs, logs, and frame leaders — labelled, dated, searchable.

7. Edit logs & Metadata

EDITOR LOG takes, camera roll, lens sidecars, ALE and MHL. Select rings, filters, native Save for ALE / CSV.

8. Help anytime

Help → Tour restarts this walkthrough. Help → Workflow Help, Keyboard Shortcuts, and Preferences sit one click away.

See it

Inbox outline with view switcher for Outline, List, Board, Calendar, Gantt, Spider, and Flow — **Inbox & outline.** Nest with Tab. Todos, dates, archive, zoom. Views: Outline, List, Board, Calendar, Gantt, Spider, Flow.

Scratch pad canvas with pen, colours, stroke widths, and export PNG — **Scratch pad.** Draw, type, drop photos from Finder. Export PNG when the scribble becomes the brief.

Clarity panel showing Full, Focus, and Neuro workspace modes plus font and density — **Full · Focus · Neuro.** Full is the studio. Focus is the current view only. Neuro is one next thing — you choose look, layout, and how much chrome to show.

Clarity colour pickers and dyslexia helpers including reading ruler and lookalike words — **Make it yours.** Page, panels, sidebar, text, accent — every colour. Reading ruler, zoom on focus, writing lane, lookalike-word flags. Lexend, Andika, OpenDyslexic, or your own saved theme.

macOS Workflow menu with Check for Updates, Settings, and Clarity — **On the Mac menu.** About, Check for Updates…, Settings (⌘,), Clarity (⇧⌘,). Updates download first, then ask before install.

What you can actually do

Capture, then organise

Quick capture, Inbox, Ideas. Split a paste into bullets. Archive instead of delete. Command-K jumps anywhere.

Production projects

Overview, schedule PDFs, title page, board columns you rename. Import a script. Export when someone else needs the pack.

Repository

Drop the day’s PDFs and logs. Originals are copied as-is, labelled for that project, with a date or a date span you can edit.

Story & bibles

+ Story, + TV Bible, + Film Bible. Revision colours (White → Yellow…). Join a story to a project so cast hits the schedule.

DIT / post tools

ALE editor, MHL checksums, edit logs, lens metadata matcher (UMC-4 / DCS LDT → ALE). Frame Leader for digital and film charts. Website Builder for visual + code editing, URL import, and FTP/SFTP deploy.

Freelance

Overtime stopwatch with weekday / Sat / Sun rates and UK tax estimates, tied to your Workflow projects and talent pool.

Install on a Mac

Workflow is not an App Store app. Control-click → Open → Open again, or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
It must live in Applications. Accept Terms, then open Help → Tour.

Your projects live in a separate data folder. Reinstalling or updating the app does not wipe them. Activation is not required in this build — Preferences → License is there for later.

Freeware — with limits

Workflow is freeware from Rushes LTD (Rush Mind) at the moment. There is no charge and the planning tools in this build are unlocked. Free does not mean without rules.

You use it at your own risk — it is a risk platform, provided “as is”, with no warranty.
You are responsible for backing up your projects. Updates replace the app only; they do not insure your data.
Mac only right now. Cloud and phone reading are coming soon. Pricing for any future paid layer is coming soon.
Not an App Store / Apple-approved developer app. macOS will ask you to accept that.
Convenience tools (imports, speech, translation) can be incomplete — check important work yourself.
A later release may add optional serial licensing. Until then, a serial in Preferences does not unlock or lock anything.

The same Terms of Service appear in the app (first launch, and Preferences → More). Website data and cookies are explained in the Privacy policy and Cookie policy. If you do not agree, do not download or install.
