Every prop, every scene,
in the right hands
Keep every prop in one photographed warehouse, attached to the scenes it appears in and the characters who carry it. When someone asks "was it this phone or the other one?", the answer is a photo away — on set, on any device, shared with the whole department.

Lists for every ask
A props list without photos is a shopping list
The bracelet has to match across four shooting days. The phone appears in six scenes, and there are two of them. What matters is not the list — it is knowing exactly which item, where it has to be, and who is holding it.
In SceneMatch each prop is one entry with its own photos, linked to every scene it appears in. Change a photo once and every scene sees it. Open a scene and see what is dressed on set and what goes into an actor's hand.

Built for the props department
Everything a prop master and their team track, in the same place as the rest of the production.
One warehouse
Every prop is a single entry with a name, photos and its own page. The phone used in six scenes is one prop, not six copies to keep in sync.
Hand props vs set props
Attach a prop to the scene and it is dressed. Attach it to a character in the scene and it is handed to the actor — and it shows on that actor's breakdown.
Attach in one go
Work scene by scene, or open a prop and pick every scene it appears in at once. Type a scene number to filter the list.
Referenced from the script
Select the words in the screenplay and attach the prop. Tap the icon and the item previews right there, so you know you pointed at the right one.
Works without signal
Props you have opened stay on your device. In a basement with no signal you can still look them up and attach existing ones to the script.
Vehicles and animals too
Picture cars and animals are tracked the same way, with photos and scenes, and fall under the props department's access.
How it works
From breakdown to the props truck.
Build the warehouse
Add each prop with its photos — from the warehouse, from a scene, or from a character's own props page.
Attach it where it plays
Link props to scenes, or to characters within scenes, and reference them from the lines of the script that call for them.
Export what's asked for
The whole props list for buying or hiring, a sheet for a single prop with its photos, or one character's props for the actor.
Know which one it was
Registration is free for anyone who wants to try it. Import your script, add your first props and attach them to their scenes.

What's the difference between a scene prop and a character's prop?
A prop attached to the scene is set dressing — the lamp on the desk. A prop created from a character's props page belongs to that character, can only be attached to scenes they play in, and appears on their breakdown for the scene.
The hero prop was replaced. Should I delete the old one?
Usually not. Deleting a prop removes it from every scene that used it. Rename it and replace its photos instead, and every scene stays linked to the right item.
Who on the team can change props?
That depends on each member's role and department. Members of the props department manage props, vehicles and animals; everyone else sees them as their role allows. See roles and departments.
