Clap: Film Slate for iPhone Duo

Clap: Film Slate turns an iPhone or iPad into a film slate. The board has production, roll, scene, take, director, camera, date, frame rate, INT/EXT, DAY/NIGHT and MOS, with a time-of-day LED timecode from 23.976 to 60 fps that holds on the clap, tail slates shown upside down, and one-tap new setups (23, 23A, 23B, skipping I and O). Each clap plays a sharp clap or a 1 kHz beep with a white flash exactly one frame long, and goes into a shot log by scene, where you circle keepers, mark NGs, add notes and share a PDF camera report or a CSV. It’s free to download with a 3-day trial of Clap Pro, then $5.99 a month, with no account, ads or tracking, and it works offline.

It’s made for the iPhone Duo, where the phone is the clapperboard. Hold it half open to the lens and shut it: the halves meeting are the sync mark, the clap sounds, the take is logged and the next one waits on the cover, where you can circle it, add a note or mark MOS without opening the phone. Opening it only a little and shutting it again doesn’t count as a take. Laid open flat, the slate and the shot log sit on facing pages. On other iPhones and iPad you tap the sticks. DM Solutions and Development also made Facing Pages and Short Pencil.
