Draw Storyboard — iPad & Apple Pencil

Draw every shot,
the way you'd sketch it on paper.

The storyboard app the iPad has been waiting for. Board a whole sequence with Apple Pencil, hang the shot, lens and timing on every panel, then hand the room a shooting-board PDF or a timed animatic. Layers, onion skin and aspect guides — the drawing tools a board needs, nothing a painting app makes you wade through.

Why it exists

The iPad is the best place to board a film. Nothing acted like it.

Boarding meant a painting app that knows nothing about shots, or a desktop tool that never came to set. Draw Storyboard is built for the one job: drawing a sequence you can shoot from.

Pencil-true drawing

Pressure and tilt built for boarding — quick, confident strokes, layers for sketch and ink, onion skin to carry a pose across frames.

It speaks film

Aspect guides for your delivery ratio, shot size and lens on the panel, camera moves that become the animatic. The drawing and the coverage live together.

Draw over a photo

Drop a location scout or a frame grab behind the panel and board on top of it — the fastest way from a real place to a real shot.

Yours, offline

No account, no cloud, no network. Boards stay on your iPad and leave only when you export or share a file.

Questions

Before it lands.

When can I get it?

It's in App Store review now — iPad only. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it's live, nothing else: info@egetechnology.net.

What does it cost?

The app is free to use. Free exports carry a small watermark; a one-time $9.99 Pro unlock removes it and hands the board over clean. No subscription, ever.

Do I need an Apple Pencil?

It's built for Apple Pencil and that's the best way to board. You can draw with a finger, but the pressure and tilt that make sketching fast are Pencil features.

Can it export an animatic, not just a PDF?

Yes. Give each panel a duration and a camera move and export a timed animatic MP4 — the move travels across your drawing — with optional scratch audio. Or export a Director's, Shooting or Contact-sheet PDF.

Does it work offline?

Completely. No account, no cloud, no network of any kind — your boards stay on the iPad. See the privacy policy.
