Fuzzlecheck
What Fuzzlecheck is
Fuzzlecheck is film preproduction software for turning screenplay details into shooting schedules. It imports PDF scripts and extracts scene numbers, locations, interior or exterior settings, day or night, speaking roles and script pages. It tracks actor, location and crew availability by day or hour and warns about conflicts. Users can create schedules, breakdowns, calendars and other reports, then export them to PDF, Word, LibreOffice Writer or some spreadsheet formats. Scheduling uses a stripboard view, and the software also supports cast and crew tracking, location management and call sheets. Fuzzlecheck runs on macOS and Windows. Standard is intended for basic schedules, Pro for professional users needing more tools and print customization, and Units for productions coordinating multiple teams or series. Online Projects support simultaneous collaboration for up to 4, 8 or 20 people depending on edition; Pro and Units provide individual access rights. The free trial has restrictions: projects cannot be printed or saved and are deleted after 24 hours.
