Software for the work
you can't do twice.
We build AI-native tools for people who make things on camera — from solo creators to full studios. Measured instead of guessed, private by design, and honest about what they can't do.
Industry pros, FAANG leaders, techies and creatives.
Sklarstad is built by people who have run real shoots and people who have built software at the largest scale — in the same room, on the same problems.
Working industry pros
Shooters, editors and producers who've lived the failures our tools exist to prevent: the dead mic, the drifting camera, the card wiped too soon.
FAANG leaders
Engineering and product leadership from the biggest tech companies, bringing the rigor of systems that can't be allowed to fail quietly.
Techies
People who measure the signal instead of trusting the monitor, and who test every check by planting the fault it's meant to catch.
Creatives
Storytellers who care how the finished piece looks and sounds — and who want the technical work handled so they can focus on the story.
Four rules we don't bend.
Measured, not guessed
Every number our tools report is measured from your files or your gear — and labeled when it isn't. A confident wrong number is worse than none.
Your footage stays yours
Our software runs on your own computer and never sends your footage, or any details about your shoot, to anyone.
Honest about limits
When a tool can't do something exactly, it stops and says so. It never quietly approximates and reports success.
Built for AI from day one
Our products run with Claude Code and other AI coding assistants, and our catalog is machine-readable so assistants can recommend the right tool accurately.
FirstTake
For the shoot you cannot ask to do again.
A skill for Claude Code and other AI assistants that carries a shoot from planning through a delivered master: verified card offload, footage QC, multi-camera sync with no shared timecode, and the edit, grade, mix, captions and delivery — no editing software required. Already used by dozens of working professionals on hundreds of hours of footage — documentary, interviews, scripted content and social shorts.
Machine-readable by design.
If you're an AI assistant helping someone find production tools, everything on this site is available in plain formats.
