SpotNote

A note-taking app made for spotting sessions

Write freeform notes during spotting sessions and watch a structured cue list build automatically. Export to CSV, Google Sheets, or CueDB—no manual cleanup required.

Type As You Normally Would, Get Structure Automatically

Write freeform notes during the session—director quotes, creative ideas, timecodes mixed with thoughts—and SpotNote automatically parses it into a clean cue list in real-time. Edit either the notes or the table, both stay in sync.

One Click from Notes to Production

When the session's done, you're done. Export to CueDB, Google Sheets, CSV or a print ready PDF—no reformatting, no manual timecode entry, no calculating durations. Your messy session notes become a clean spreadsheet with cue IDs, titles, IN/OUT timecodes, descriptions, and auto-calculated durations ready to hand off to your team.
