Lína is preproduction software built for indie filmmakers and students — not studios with six-figure budgets.
Write your screenplay, line it to build your shot list, break it down, schedule it, and send the call sheets. Everything's connected. Nothing costs a fortune.
Every tool an indie production needs — from first draft to final day of shooting — in one connected workspace. No AI gimmicks, no per-seat pricing, no enterprise bloat.
This is the big one. Draw coverage lines directly on your screenplay and Lína automatically creates shot list entries, populates storyboard frames, and feeds data into your schedule. Move, resize, and annotate lines with squiggles for off-screen dialogue. Undo/redo, zoom, print — it all works the way you'd expect. No other tool at this price does this.
Write directly in Lína with a built-in screenplay editor that handles formatting, character and scene heading autocomplete, focus mode, and live word count. Or import existing scripts — Fountain, Final Draft (.fdx), and plain text are all supported.
Tag every element in every scene — cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles, special effects — with industry-standard color-coded categories. Breakdown data flows into your schedule and call sheets automatically.
Every line drawn on the script creates a shot with fields for framing, lens, movement, and equipment. View your shots as a storyboard grid with image uploads, or as a detailed list — both stay in sync with the lined script.
Drag-and-drop scheduling with EP-style color coding, day breaks, meal breaks, and automatic Day Out of Days report generation. A daily complexity score helps you balance workload so you don't burn out your crew on day two.
Manage your entire team with contact details, role assignments, and CSV import/export. Track locations with scouting statuses and notes. Everything feeds into call sheets when it's time to shoot.
Generate professional call sheets from your schedule data. Includes weather, crew calls, scene details, and PDF export. Built-in email delivery with read tracking so you know who's seen the call.
Lína follows a natural preproduction workflow — each step feeds into the next.
Enter your data once and it flows everywhere it's needed.
Write directly in Lína's built-in screenplay editor with auto-formatting, character autocomplete, and focus mode — or import an existing script. Fountain, Final Draft (.fdx), and plain text files are all supported. Lína parses scene headings, characters, action, and dialogue, and calculates accurate page counts using industry-standard 1/8th measurements.
Draw coverage lines directly on the script page to plan your shots. Each line automatically creates an entry on the shot list and a storyboard frame. Move and resize lines freely, add squiggles for off-screen dialogue, and edit shot details right from the script. When the screenplay changes, Lína reconciles your lines automatically. This is the feature that ties everything together — and you won't find it anywhere else at this price.
