Kanvaz vs ShootVision

Kanvaz is an offline reference board for VFX and 3D artists, as well as anyone who collects and connects visual material. Its infinite canvas can hold 3D models, images, GIFs, video, audio, notes, colors, URLs and file pointers. Supported 3D models can be orbited live, viewed in different shading modes and played with animation; previewing .blend files requires Blender. Seven kinds of typed relationships link references, which users can explore as a graph in Map View. A single card can appear on multiple boards, with edits carried across those appearances. An optional MCP Bridge lets Claude Desktop or Claude Code read and change the active board over local IPC, and those changes enter undo history. Kanvaz supports plugins for card types, commands, themes and other features; its maker says creators can sell plugins without a marketplace cut. Boards are stored locally in .kanvaz ZIP containers with embedded assets and SHA-256 integrity hashes. The maker says there are no accounts, telemetry or cloud storage, and network requests are user initiated. Kanvaz is free forever, MIT licensed and available for Linux, macOS and Windows.

ShootVision is a web workspace for photographers and creative teams planning shoots. It combines moodboards, shoot plans, reusable location profiles, team collaboration, and call sheets. Boards support images, text, colour swatches, annotations, and templates; users can extract colours from images, generate harmonies, and import ASE palettes. Pexels and Unsplash searches are available within the app, and moodboards can be exported as PDF, PNG, DOCX, or Google Docs. Teams can edit together in real time, use live cursors and an activity feed, and set viewer, editor, or admin permissions. Shoot plans can record roles and compensation, location logistics, MUA briefs, and tasks with due dates. Location profiles can store access, parking, power, facilities, permits, hazards, maps, and contact details. Call sheets generated from shoot details can be shared by link or email, with optional PIN protection. The free plan covers essential moodboards and basic shoot planning. Core is billed at £3.99/month and Pro at £7.99/month; new accounts receive a seven-day Pro trial without a credit card.
