Check the Gate
Pay tracker for stunts, actors
Add the call sheet, scan the G, and you're done. The app does the rest.
Made by a working stunt performer for stunt performers, stunt coordinators and actors working under the TV and theatrical agreements.
Coming to the App StoreThe app does the typing
Tap Start my day when you get to set. Add the call sheet and the app reads the show, your call time and the addresses. At wrap, take a picture of your Exhibit G and it fills in your times. Tomorrow's call sheet? Add it tonight and the call time is on the Today screen in the morning.
Your pay, figured the way the contract reads
Overtime, double time, meal penalties, night premiums, holidays, 6th and 7th days, travel, fittings and the stunt adjustment, counted up live while you work, so you know what the day should pay before you sign the G. Every number is an estimate from the published minimums; your contract can pay more.
Checks that come when they should
The app expects every check and tells you when one is late. At two weeks it gives you production's number. At four it builds the union claim for you: the form, a summary of your days and your papers attached, ready to send.
Read your pay stub
Picture the stub and the app finds the days it covers and compares line by line: overtime, meal penalties, adjustments. If something is short, you'll see which line.
Residuals you can finally see
Bring in your residuals list and every check lands on its show, paid to you or to your company, by year, ready for your accountant. And when others on your show get theirs, you hear about it.
Stunt coordinators
One card for the day: the performers from your call sheet, their adjustments, and a text or email to the AD who fills in the G. Directing the 2nd unit? The DGA day and prep are figured too.
Private
Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no servers, no tracking. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you tap Send. Face ID lock if you want it. The privacy policy says exactly what the app does.
