Storyboard + animatic tool for macOS
Page based workflow
Pages
Sketch, arrange scenes, write shot information and keep board readable as the project grows.
Timeline
Time panels, add inbetweens and audio, adjust camera moves, and edit panel notes beside the cut.
Draw naturally
Pressure pen, ereaser, shapes, selection, transforms, cut tools and image import. Built around fast storyboard drawing
Build the animatic
Panel timing, inbetweens, camera motion, fades and a timeline designed to stay usable on long films.
Structure the film
Sequences, scenes, pages and panels stay visible and movable without turning the project into a spreadsheet.
Hand it forward
Export boards to PDF, review cuts as MP4, or take an XML timeline with audio and editable panel notes into the edit.
Simple enough to stay out of the way. Useful enough to keep open all day.

Expand your workflow
An expanded creative workspace for moving from storyboards into AI-assisted visual development, video generation and connected production workflows.
GenFrames brings AI image generation into your storyboard, helping you develop characters, locations, and props that remain visually consistent throughout your project.
Create character reference sheets with multiple angles, poses, and expressions. Explore environments from different perspectives and build a library of reusable visual assets.
Once created, your assets are available throughout your project. Place them into panels, combine them with hand-drawn elements, and use them as references for new generations.
GenFrames is designed to make AI generation part of your existing creative process, rather than a separate workflow.
Powered by your own API keys.
Connect supported image generation providers directly to Panelry. Choose different models for different tasks, manage your own usage, and pay the providers directly. Your workflow is not tied to one AI ecosystem.
Key features
Character Library: Create reusable character references with multiple views and expressions.
Location Library: Develop environments and explore alternative perspectives.
Prop Library: Build a collection of objects for repeated use across scenes.
Consistent References: Guide new generations using previously established assets.
Storyboard Integration: Place generated images directly into your panels.
Multi-Provider Support: Select from supported image generation models using your own API credentials.
GenVideo brings AI video generation directly into Panelry, letting you explore movement, camera work, and visual storytelling from within your storyboard.
Start with an existing panel or reference image and generate a moving shot. Experiment with character movement, camera motion, and alternative takes without rebuilding your scene from scratch.
Generated clips can become part of your animatic, allowing you to evaluate pacing, shot transitions, and the overall rhythm of your sequence.
From rough concepts to moving previews, GenVideo connects AI video generation with the filmmaking process.
GenVideo follows the same BYOK philosophy as GenFrames. Connect supported video generation providers using your own API credentials and choose the model that best suits each shot.
Instead of purchasing proprietary credit packages from Panelry, you use your existing provider accounts and pay according to their pricing.
Key features
Image to Video: Transform storyboard panels and reference images into moving shots.
Camera & Motion Exploration: Test movements, actions, and shot variations.
Multiple Takes: Generate alternative interpretations of the same shot.
Animatic Integration: Bring generated clips directly into your timeline.
Model Flexibility: Choose between supported AI video generation providers.
BYOK Integration: Use your own API keys and manage generation costs directly.
Panelry's planned Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration opens the door to connecting your storyboard with compatible AI assistants, automation systems, and external creative tools.
With MCP, an AI assistant could interact with the structure of your project, understanding sequences, scenes, panels, shot descriptions, and notes.
Imagine asking your preferred AI assistant to organize a sequence, create panels from a shot list, update scene descriptions, or prepare structured information for another production tool.
Rather than introducing another isolated AI assistant, Panelry aims to work with the tools you already prefer.
MCP follows the same philosophy of openness and user choice. Use compatible external AI tools and configure their model access through their own services or API credentials where supported.
The goal is to let Panelry become part of a connected production environment without locking your workflow into a specific AI platform.
Planned capabilities
Project Context: Give compatible AI assistants structured access to project information.
Storyboard Automation: Create and organize sequences, scenes, and panels through supported commands.
Intelligent Project Editing: Work with shot descriptions, notes, and metadata.
External Integrations: Connect Panelry with custom tools and automated production workflows.
Model Independence: Work with different compatible AI assistants and providers.
Controlled Access: Manage which project information and actions are available to connected tools.
Panelry is a one-time purchase. It runs locally, and your projects stay on your computer. No subscription, no cloud dependency, and no recurring payment just to keep opening your own work.
