Custom Workspaces
Focus on the data that matters. Choose from four preset layouts in the slate page menu bar — each fully customizable, with hideable sections and fields so you can isolate exactly what you need without scrolling.
- Four preset layouts in the slate-page menu bar — each focused on a different part of the slate to cut scrolling
- Rename and customize each layout to match how you work
- Hide entire sections or specific fields to cut visual noise
Built for Reliability
Your data is too important to risk — and too important to lock in. Wrangler is designed from the ground up to never lose your work, keep running through long days, and let you take your data anywhere in open formats.
- Works offline indefinitely — no internet required on set
- Configurable auto-backup intervals (5min to daily) with pause/resume
- Hardware-secured session persistence across app restarts
- Open-format exports — CSV, PDF, JSON. Your data is never locked in.
Intuitive Slate Capture
Quickly log slate data with an interface designed for the pace of production. A non-intrusive bottom panel with field-specific keypads, live camera widgets, and adjustable UI scale keep your eyes on the work, not the keyboard.
- One-tap slate creation with smart defaults, auto-incremented scene/shot/take, and copy options
- Non-intrusive bottom panel input with custom keypads for every field
- Slate widgets on lock & home screens — see current slate, take, and location at a glance; tap to create or jump straight to the slate page
- Colour-coded camera field outlines — always know which camera you're editing (toggleable in settings)
- UI scale — choose from 3 sizes for easier data entry, especially with gloves
- Reference pin — keep integral info and the hero reference image in the menu bar with a tap
Witness Cam & Stills Tracking
Track every camera on set. Log HDRI captures with auto-calculated filenames, reference photo sets, and witness cam clips — all tied to your slates.
- HDRI Capture Logger with auto filename calculation (3/4 angles, 3/5/7/9 brackets)
- Reference Photo Set tracking with DSLR brand presets and slateboard display
- Witness cam clip tracking with auto-increment across takes
Teams
From multi-wrangler sync to organization-wide team controls. YOU control when data moves, who sees what, and how multiple devices merge into one source of truth at wrap.
- Manually triggered sync — never risk losing data mid-take
- Multiple wranglers sync to one project — merge at wrap with conflict resolution and granular data selection
- Global cloud regions (US, EU, Asia-Pacific) for data residency
- Multi-team organization controls — admin dashboard, per-project access, and delegation
Gear Library & Presets
Build gear libraries and field presets once, reuse them everywhere. App-wide presets carry from project to project, and quick-build tools let you add multiple cameras and lenses in seconds.
- Gear library — cameras, lenses, grips, heads, filters with serial, camera-letter, and lens grid tracking
- App-wide gear presets — apply saved kits to any project, no re-entry
- Quick gear building — add multiple lenses and cameras with camera letter selectors
- CSV import/export for large productions
Laser-Measure Integration
Connect Bluetooth laser distance meters directly to Wrangler. Capture precise measurements and auto-populate lens height, camera distance, and set dimensions.
- Bluetooth laser meter connectivity (Leica & Bosch)
- Color-coded measurement fields for quick visual reference
- One-tap capture auto-populates dedicated fields for height, distance, tilt, and dutch angle
VFX Timing & Reports
Track VFX timing in-app, generate Daily Time Reports with one tap, and create comprehensive VFX reports for supervisors — all without leaving Wrangler.
- VFX timing tracking with setup start/end timestamps and one-tap DTR generation
- VFX report generation from captured VFX timings
- Team roster with roles and configurable email distribution for reports
ShotGrid Integration
Seamlessly connect with Autodesk ShotGrid. Push slate data directly to your production tracking system and keep VFX supervisors in the loop.
- Direct ShotGrid API connection
- Auto-sync shots and takes — selectively choose which slates to push
- Automatically creates required fields in your ShotGrid entity
Slate & Reference Browser
Navigate large projects with ease. Visual thumbnail browsing, powerful filters, and a unified references page that organizes every reference image by slate — find anything in your shoot in seconds.
- Visual slate browser with reference photo thumbnails
- Unified references page — view every reference in one place, categorized by slate
- Filter and sort by shoot day, episode, scene, set, or date
Migrate From Anywhere
Moving from FileMaker, Setellite, or a homegrown spreadsheet system? Wrangler imports your existing projects in minutes — no manual re-entry, no lost history.
- Auto-migration from VES-format CSVs — zero-config import for industry-standard exports
- Field mapping wizard for non-VES sources (FileMaker, Excel, custom)
- Preserves slate numbering, take history, and reference photos
