What’s new

Every change a user could notice, dated, newest first. Taken from the real release history and tidied by hand.

10 September 2026

Sign out on a phone

The help button moves out of the way while the phone menu is open, so the sign out link can be tapped.

7 September 2026

The version number links to this page

The version at the foot of the sidebar opens the release notes, and this page lists every change a user could notice, dated.

4 September 2026

Version 1.6.3

Delivery links expire

A delivery stays live for the number of days you set, then archives. Every new cut or stills upload restarts the clock, and your client sees the date on their page.

4 September 2026

Version 1.6.2

Invoiced elsewhere

Record a job you billed from Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent, so the shoot shows as invoiced without a Cinella invoice.

2 September 2026

Version 1.6.11 to 1.6.13

First shoot date starts blank

New accounts no longer land in set-day mode. The wizard asks for a date, the call sheet says Date TBC until you give one, and the finish screen says the shoot's date rather than today's.

2 September 2026

Version 1.6.0

A new look across every page

One set of headings, panels and buttons on every screen, on phones and desktops.

1 September 2026

Every client link goes to their home page

Everything you send a client lands on one page, with a passcode set by default. The passcode shows when you copy the link.

1 September 2026

Stills and proof photos

Drop photos into a shoot and your client picks from watermarked proofs on their page. You see the list of what they chose, and you send the originals however you send them now. Stills keep their filenames, previews can be removed in one go, and each removal is recorded on the delivery.

3 August 2026

See a real call sheet before you sign up

The lander shows a full three-page sample call sheet. No email, no sign up.

2 August 2026

Shoot builder progress rail

The builder shows all five steps with their done states and the call sheet as the finish line. It unlocks when the essentials are complete.

2 August 2026

Phone notifications

Client confirmations, file uploads, invoice opens, contract agreements and new enquiries can ping your phone. Switch it on from the bell, per device.

2 August 2026

Enquiry form builder with live preview

Choose your form's fields, heading, welcome lines and logo, and watch the embed update as you type.

2 August 2026

Embeddable enquiry forms

A form per brand for your own website. Enquiries land in an inbox with a four-stage pipeline, and become a client and a shoot in two taps.

1 August 2026

Deposits and part payments

Record payments against any invoice with a label and a date. You and your client both see the total, what is paid and the balance due. It marks itself paid at zero.

29 July 2026

Contracts

Send your client the working terms, they agree with a typed name, and the invoice is built from the agreement in one tap. An edit can never pass as what was agreed.

29 July 2026

Invoices, shoots and clients linked

Jump between a client, their shoots and their invoices from anywhere. Pick a shoot when building an invoice and the client comes with it.

21 July 2026

Branded call sheet PDF

Crew and client versions with your logo and colour, the nearest A&E in the safety section, and a download for the client on their page.

20 July 2026

Sturdier sign ups

Verification emails that survive link scanners, a resend that works, and an alert to Harry if anything misfires.

19 July 2026

New site

The home page and lander rebuilt: faster, clearer, accessible.

16 July 2026

Phone polish

Menus, headers and sticky bars behave on small screens.

15 July 2026

Fairer trial billing

Cards are charged on the day the trial ends, then monthly on that date. Not a day sooner.
