For wedding photographers, filmmakers, and planners

The wedding day,
under control.

Your timeline, shot list, and vendor contacts in one app, laid out so you can check it in two seconds between shots.

The timeline is free, and Premium is optional.
For iPhone with iOS 26 or later, plus Apple Watch

My first app, all grown up.

Anemone timeline showing the next event, venue links, and golden hour markers for Anna and Jay’s sample wedding.

One app for
the whole day.

On a wedding day, the schedule is in the planner’s PDF, the shot list is in your notes, and the venue address is buried in a text from three weeks ago. Anemone puts all of it in one place that makes sense at a glance.

Timeline Free

Always know
what’s next.

Build the day event by event, then follow along as it happens. The next event and how long until it starts stay at the top, and the ones you’ve finished get checked off.

  • Unlimited weddings, each with its own schedule.
  • Venue links and drive-time estimates for getting from the getting-ready suite to the ceremony.
  • Widgets and a Live Activity put the countdown on your Home and Lock Screens.
  • The Apple Watch app keeps the day’s schedule on your wrist, and its complication shows the next event on your watch face.

Drive-time estimates need a network connection. Widget and Live Activity updates are managed by iOS.

The timeline in light and dark mode.

A sample shot list grouped by part of the day, with starred must-haves, completed shots, and a remaining must-haves filter.

Shot lists Premium

Don’t go home without the ring shot.

Keep track of the shots your couple cares about, from getting ready to the last dance. Check them off as you go and star the ones you can’t miss.

  • Start from a template or build your own list under your own headings.
  • Filter down to the must-haves you haven’t gotten yet.
  • Copy a shot list from another wedding instead of starting over.

Light & weather Premium

Plan portraits
around golden hour.

Golden hour, blue hour, and sunset show up right in the timeline, and that part is free. Premium adds a Weather tab with the venue forecast and a golden hour countdown.

  • Rain chances and temperatures sit next to each scheduled event, so you know before you move everyone outside.
  • The next hour of rain, minute by minute, when it’s available.

Forecasts need a connection and only reach as far ahead as the weather provider allows. The sample wedding shown uses a labeled example forecast.

Contacts & references Premium

Everything you meant
to keep handy.

The planner’s number, the timeline PDF, the note about loading in through the side door. It all stays with the right wedding.

Vendors and the wedding party

Call, text, or email anyone from their card, and copy vendor Instagram handles when it’s time to tag everyone.

Vendor and wedding party contact cards with call, message, and email actions in the sample wedding.

Notes, PDFs, and photos

Keep venue notes, the planner’s original timeline, and inspiration images in one place. The family formals list is right there when the families start lining up.

Collaboration Premium

Share the plan with your second shooter.

Invite someone to a wedding through iCloud and you’ll both work from the same plan. If someone just needs their own version, send them a copy instead.

You can also export a PDF to hand off, or move wedding details in and out as a CSV.

Live collaboration needs iCloud and a connection. An exported or shared copy is separate from the original.

The timeline stays free.

You can plan every wedding with the free version. Premium adds shot lists, contacts, references, weather, and collaboration.

I built it for the days
I’m out there, too.

I’m Kevin. Anemone started as a weekend project to keep me organized during wedding shoots, mostly because I was tired of pinching and zooming through an 11-page PDF to find the next address while holding a camera.

Version 3 has a clearer timeline and a place for the rest of the details I kept wanting on the day. Your support through subscriptions and tips helps me keep improving Anemone while providing for my family. Thank you for being here. 🤟🏻

Who is Anemone for?

Wedding photographers, videographers, second shooters, and planners who want the day’s schedule and working details together on their iPhone.

Can I try it before buying Premium?

Yes. You can create your own weddings and timelines for free. The included sample wedding also lets you look around the Premium tabs before deciding, but building your own shot lists, contacts, references, and weather needs Premium.

Does it work when the venue has poor reception?

Saved wedding details are stored on your device, so the timeline works offline. Download reference files before you head out. New forecasts, directions, iCloud sync, and collaboration need a connection.

Where is my wedding data stored?

On your device, with iCloud handling sync and collaboration. You choose when to share a wedding or export a copy. The Anemone 3 privacy policy has the details on storage, permissions, and sharing.

Which devices does Anemone 3 support?

iPhone, running iOS 26 or later. If you wear an Apple Watch (watchOS 26 or later), the watch app shows the day’s schedule and lets you check events off as they happen.

Support

Something not working the way you expected? Email me. It comes straight to me.

It helps to include your iPhone model, your iOS version, and the Anemone version from the About section of the app’s Settings.

How do I restore Premium on a new iPhone?

Sign in with the Apple Account you bought it with. Then open Settings in Anemone, tap Anemone Premium under Account, and tap Restore Purchases. Subscriptions and Lifetime both come back this way. Tips don’t unlock anything, so there’s nothing to restore for those.

How do I cancel or change my subscription?

In Anemone, open Settings and tap Manage Subscription. You can also do it in the Settings app: tap your name, then Subscriptions. Apple handles the billing, so refunds go through Apple too.

A shared wedding isn’t syncing.

Both of you need to be signed in to iCloud and online. Anemone’s Settings shows your iCloud status under Sync & Sharing. When a shared wedding is stuck, the banner at the top of that wedding says “Not syncing”; tap it to see what went wrong. Opening the app on both phones usually catches things up. If it doesn’t, email me what the banner says.

What does the person I invite need?

Anemone on an iPhone with iOS 26 or later, and an iCloud account. They don’t need Premium for the wedding you shared with them. Once they accept the invitation, the wedding shows up in their list and changes go both ways.

My weddings aren’t on my other iPhone.

Check that both phones are signed in to the same Apple Account and that Sync & Sharing in Anemone’s Settings says your weddings sync through iCloud. A wedding with lots of PDFs and photos can take a few minutes the first time.

Drive times or leave-by alerts are missing.

Drive times need each venue picked from the address search, so the app knows where it is. The first drive of the day starts from wherever you are, which needs location access. Leave-by alerts are the Travel Notifications switch in Anemone’s Settings, and notifications have to be allowed for Anemone in the Settings app too.

Where did the sample wedding go?

Open Settings in Anemone and tap Restore Sample Wedding under Data. It’s read-only, so you can poke around without breaking anything.

How do I delete my data?

Swipe a wedding in the list and tap Delete, and the deletion syncs to your other devices. The privacy policy explains how to remove Anemone’s iCloud data completely.

Try it at your
next wedding.
