StudioBinder is a new call sheet start-up that launched last year which really impressed me out of the gate. Rather than making you spend hours trapped in InDesign or Word templates in order to perfect your call sheet (that, let's be real, not everyone bothers to read), it moves it all online in a unified way that generates them digitally. Not only that, when you send it out, you can get an up-to-date look at who's seen it, and who's confirmed it. I used it while filming a location shoot earlier this year, and it allowed me to spend more time focusing on the job instead of hunched over a laptop (which was a blessing because I didn't have the luxury of a 2nd AD).

You can add in all your crew contact information, add in your schedule, and it'll auto-fill in all the other stuff you normally have to look up like weather/nearest hospital. Once it's sent out, people have to manually confirm they've read it, which helps you chase down the specific crew that need important information rather than the entire team. It's great for smaller indie productions when you need that little extra push of accountability.

They have several pricing models which introduce things such as the ability to work on more projects, more file attachment space, and pre-production call sheets. If you're completely no-budget though, even the free version gives you enough of an idea of how this could really make your life easier in the long run. The pricing is pretty reasonable for smaller production studios as well.

The team is constantly upgrading and adding more features, and are very responsive on their support system and social media. They've just released a feature film template to their premium templates section, which introduces a lot of the necessities lacking in older versions such as advanced schedules, extras, and special instructions. Watch as these guys grow and get even better.
