Help & support

ShotWeave · 1.0.0

Plan your first shoot

Projects begins empty. Tap Create project, enter a title, written location, date, creative brief and status, then Save. Open the project and add shots with lens, composition, notes and planned/captured/skipped state. Tap a shot to edit it; use its state menu to update progress. Example projects can be loaded explicitly from Settings only when empty.

Scout and pack

Inside a project, choose Scout to write observed light, viewpoints, access, hazards and backup plans. These are your own notes, not a live forecast. Choose Kit, add equipment and check it when packed. Project export shares a text file with shots, notes and kit.

Use the exposure tools

Exposure computes equivalent shutter time from a base shutter, aperture and ISO to a new aperture and ISO. ND duration uses the base shutter multiplied by two to the number of filter stops; the new aperture/ISO settings do not affect that separate result. Check film reciprocity, camera limits and actual scene brightness. No metering or weather service is connected.

Back up and restore

Settings exports a complete JSON backup or shot CSV through the system share sheet. Restore accepts a supported JSON file up to 20 MB, validates it and asks before replacing the whole workspace. Invalid input preserves existing data. Export first. Erase requires confirmation and removes the recovery copy. Spreadsheet formula-like cells in CSV are escaped with an apostrophe.

Recovery and troubleshooting

If the main file is damaged, ShotWeave attempts its last-good local copy and displays a recovery notice. If both are unreadable, the original files are preserved and writes are blocked until you explicitly restore or erase. Export a valid backup regularly. This is local recovery, not cloud sync. For calculation questions, note the exact base and new settings.
