Printed shot list
Crossed out and re-ordered by 11 a.m. The card moves when the day moves.
Cue Mode · For photo & video shoots
Every look on time,
everyone on the same shot.
Your agent holds the shot list. Say “next,” and your photographer, stylist, MUA, assistant and client all see the current look, what's coming, and the same countdown on their iPhone Lock Screens. No shouting across the set, no one prepping the wrong outfit.
Your crew only needs the free Startr app. No agent, no account.
Why
The shot list is the plan. Nobody can see it.
It lives on a clipboard, a laptop at the digi station, or the producer's head. Cue Mode puts the one line that matters where the whole team already looks.
Calling it across the set
The MUA is in the other room and the client is on a call. One update reaches all of them.
Group text
Buried under selects and “5 min out.” The card is silent and always the current look.
How it works
Paste the shot list. Say “next.”
1
Paste your shot list
Give your connected agent the looks, sets and what each person needs to prep.
2
Invite up to five
Share the Cue from Startr. The team opens it in the app and follows. Read-only, and it expires on its own.
3
Say “next”
The agent advances the look. Everyone's Lock Screen changes together, with a countdown to the next one.
A half-day shoot
Eight looks. Nobody asks “which one are we on?”
Illustrative cards. Each “next” moves everyone at once.

Shot list
Here's today's shot list: [paste it]. Start a Startr Cue card called “Shoot day.” Headline is the current look, the status says what the stylist, MUA and assistant need to prep, and include a countdown to the next look. When I say next, advance one look; +10 adds ten minutes; swap reorders looks. Keep lines short.
Made on a real set
Built in a working photo studio.
Up to five people per shoot.
Photographer, stylist, MUA, assistant, client. They need the free app and your invite, nothing else.
Only the producer moves it.
Followers are read-only, so nobody works from an old version of the shot list.
No buzzing on set.
The card sits on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Nothing rings during a take.
Nothing left behind.
Invites expire on their own. Startr stores who's following, not your shot list.
Startr shows the cue. The producer and agent run the day.
Each change is sent by the producer's agent when you say so. A card lasts up to eight hours, so a full day may be two cards, with the invite re-shared for the second. Startr was shaped at 480 Natural Light Studio in Scottsdale, a working photo studio and event space.
Questions
Before your next shoot
Does the client need an AI agent?
No. Only the producer connects an agent. Everyone else installs Startr and opens the invite.
What if someone has Android?
Startr is iPhone-only today. Keep them on your usual text or call-outs.
Can more than five people follow?
Each card is shared with up to five people today. Bigger crews are on our roadmap.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The shoot-day guide is plain English with copy-and-paste messages.
Cue Mode for shoots
One shot list.
Everyone on it.
