01 Getting started

Yanilomo is a crew board for shorts and student films. You add empty roles, search real people, pin them from a credit wall, then export a sheet. Projects live on this device - no account, no iCloud sync, no Yanilomo cloud.

Open Crew and tap New Project. Name it. Optionally turn on Add common roles in one tap (Director, Writer, Cinematographer, Male Lead, Female Lead, Editor).
On the board, tap an empty role -> search a name -> open the credit wall -> Pin to this role.
When the table looks right, tap Export to save or share a one-page crew sheet.

No project yet? You can still Search people or titles, then pin once a project and role exist.

02 The four tabs

CrewYour short-film projects and the crew board: empty roles, pinned people, poster strips.

SearchPeople or titles. Type a name, check credits, then pin. History stays on device.

CompareTwo credit walls side by side. Left is the first person you added. Tap a headshot to change.

MePoster quality, search history, image cache, credit-wall filter, About, Feedback, Privacy Policy.

03 Search & pin

People, titles, and posters come from The Movie Database (TMDB). The App is not a watchlist - it opens on your projects.

From an empty role, tap Search & Pin. Search by name. Tap someone to see their credit wall (All / Movies / TV, sort by year).
From Search, switch People or Titles. A title's cast and crew can be pinned to a role after you pick a project.
If the person is not on TMDB, use Manual / Enter Manually and type a name. Manual entries have no credit wall to compare.
Already filled a role? Pinning someone else asks you to Replace.

Long-press a role card to clear the person, edit the casting note, move the role, or delete it. Casting notes stay on the phone and are not sent to the network.

This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

04 Compare

On a person preview or detail, tap Compare. You can hold two people. If Compare is full, choose who to replace. Left is always the first person added.

Use the poster walls to decide, then Use [name] to pin the one you want back to the role. Tap a headshot on Compare to search a replacement or remove that slot.

05 Export

From the crew board, tap Export. You can include posters and the logline. Preview the image, then:

Save to Photos - needs Photo Library access when you save.
Share - the system share sheet (Mail, Messages, Files, and so on).

Empty roles print as TBD. The sheet is generated on your device.

06 Data on this device

Projects, roles, pinned people, covers, notes, and search history stay on the phone. Uninstalling the App deletes that local data. We cannot restore it.

Clear Search History (Me) - people and title queries only. Projects stay.
Clear Image Cache (Me) - TMDB posters reload next time. Covers and pinned people stay.
Poster quality - Data Saver / Standard / High for new poster loads.
Camera and Photos are optional: a project cover, and saving the export. Advertising libraries do not use the camera or read your photo library.
Tracking is optional. The prompt says "Yanilomo needs tracking permission to deliver personalized ads." If you allow it, Unity LevelPlay (ironSource) and its ad partners - Google AdMob, Mintegral, Unity Ads, Liftoff (Vungle), InMobi, Digital Turbine (Fyber), Chartboost, BidMachine, and Moloco - plus Meta app events and Firebase Analytics, may use the advertising identifier. If you decline, ads can still appear without that identifier.
Notifications are optional. Firebase Cloud Messaging uses them to deliver messages. Declining does not block the crew board.

07 Troubleshooting

Search or posters will not load

Check the network. TMDB must be reachable. Then try Me -> Clear Image Cache and search again.

I cannot pin anyone

Create a project first, then add at least one role (or use common roles). Search will ask which project and role to pin to.

The person I need is not in search

TMDB may not list them. Use Manual on the person search screen and type the name.

Cover or Save to Photos is blocked

iOS Settings -> Yanilomo -> Photos / Camera. The App only asks when you set a cover or save an export. Camera is for a cover photo. Photo Library is for choosing a cover or saving the exported sheet.

I do not want personalized ads

Decline the tracking prompt, or turn it off in iOS Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Tracking -> Yanilomo. The crew board still works. Ads may still appear, without the advertising identifier. That prompt is for Unity LevelPlay and the ad and measurement libraries named in the Privacy Policy, not for your projects or photos.

I do not want notifications

Decline the notification prompt, or turn notifications off in iOS Settings -> Yanilomo -> Notifications. Firebase Cloud Messaging will not deliver alerts. Search, pinning, and export do not need this permission.

Feedback will not send

Yanilomo uses the system Mail sheet. If Mail is not set up, iOS offers the share sheet instead so you can send the text another way.

Share sheet crashes or looks wrong on iPad

Update to the latest Yanilomo build. Share needs a popover anchor on iPad; current versions set that automatically.
