About GearBuddy
GearBuddy is the gear and production management app built for filmmakers, videographers and content creators. Organize your equipment, plan entire productions, coordinate your crew and manage rentals — all in one place. YOUR GEAR LOCKER Keep cameras, lenses, audio, lighting, drones, accessories and storage media organized in your personal locker. Add serial numbers, purchase dates, prices and notes. Smart categories, search and filters help you find exactly what you need. BUILD REUSABLE RIGS Group the equipment you regularly use together into reusable rigs. Build your camera, gimbal, interview or social media setup once, then add the entire rig to a shoot in a single tap. PLAN SINGLE- AND MULTI-DAY SHOOTS Create anything from a one-day job to a multi-day production. Add locations, call and wrap times, key contacts, notes, hotels and crew assignments. Each shooting day can have its own schedule, packing list and accommodation. SMART PACKING LISTS Add your own gear, equipment from crew members, rented items or complete rigs. Check off everything as it gets packed and keep track of what needs to come home after the shoot. Live availability checks help prevent double-booking equipment. BUILD YOUR SHOOT SCHEDULE Create a visual production timeline with call, setup, shooting, breaks, travel and wrap. Move blocks, push the schedule when plans change and copy schedules or packing lists between shooting days. LIVE SHOOT MARKERS Capture important moments while filming directly from your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Mark good takes, bad takes, moments and notes together with your crew. Export markers for DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and other editing workflows. WEATHER, TRAVEL AND CONDITIONS See the forecast, rain probability, wind, UV, golden hour and estimated travel time for your shoot. GearBuddy provides practical packing suggestions based on the expected conditions. DRONE AIRSPACE CHECKS Planning a drone flight? Check the airspace around your shoot location, review relevant restrictions and find the responsible authority. Add your drone licence category and securely store a copy of your licence. RENTAL TRACKING Lending gear to a friend or renting out your kit? Create rentals with dates, itemized pricing, deposits and payment status. Accept rental requests, track what is currently out and see what is overdue or coming back. CREW & SHARING Invite friends and crew members to productions with clearly defined permissions. Share packing progress, schedules and shoot updates in real time. You can also view permitted gear from friends and request equipment directly from their lockers. INSIGHTS FOR YOUR KIT Understand the value of your equipment and discover gear that may be sitting unused. GearBuddy turns your production history into useful insights about your kit. CALENDAR & REAL-TIME SYNC Add individual shoots to your calendar or automatically sync upcoming productions to a dedicated GearBuddy calendar. Changes update across your devices and everyone involved in the shoot. BUILT FOR REAL PRODUCTIONS - Offline support with automatic syncing when you reconnect - Shoot, packing, rental and crew notifications - Live Activities for shoot markers - Secure account and permission controls - No ads and no selling of your personal data GEARBUDDY PLUS The free version includes unlimited gear items, up to 3 active shoots, 3 active rentals and 1 rig. GearBuddy Plus unlocks unlimited active shoots, rentals and rigs, along with crew collaboration, shoot sharing, rental pricing and deposit tracking. Whether you are a solo filmmaker organizing your first kit or a production professional coordinating equipment across multiple shooting days, GearBuddy keeps everything in one place — so you can focus on the work.
