Tango Juliet
A Mac app for freelancers & small production companies

Run your productions
without the chaos.

Built by a working filmmaker, for working filmmakers. Tango Juliet keeps every project — deadlines, phases, partners, and files — in one place, without learning a bloated enterprise tool. And every byte of it stays on your own Mac.

🎬

Simple, on purpose

One clear overview of every project you're running — what phase it's in, what's due, who's involved. Nothing to configure before you can use it.

🔒

Your files stay yours

Everything is stored locally on your Mac — no cloud account, no server holding your client data hostage, no subscription you lose access to if you go offline.

Everything a production needs

Nine focused tools, one app.

📁

Project directory

Every job, client, and detail in one searchable, sortable overview.

📅

Deadline calendar

See every delivery date across all your projects at a glance — export to your calendar app.

Time tracker

Log hours per project and phase, then export for invoicing — CSV or PDF.

🤝

Partner directory

Keep track of every freelancer and vendor you work with, and which projects they're on.

💽

Drive overview

See which external drive holds each project's live files, backup, and archive — plug one in and know instantly what's on it.

Documents, linked or uploaded

Attach a file or link to one on your network — find a quote or calculation in one click, right from the project.

🗓️

Week planner

Drag a project onto a day to block out work time, resize it to the exact hours, and see deadlines alongside it. Export any day, block, or your whole week as .ics — compatible with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Tango Juliet for?

Freelance filmmakers and small production companies who want a clear overview of their projects without the overhead of a full studio management platform.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 30 days, full access, no restrictions. A payment method is required to start the trial; you won't be charged until it ends, and you can cancel anytime before then.

What platforms does it run on?

macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 and newer). A Windows version isn't currently available.

Where is my data stored?

100% locally on your Mac. There's no cloud sync and no server that sees your project data — we have no access to it at all.

Is my data backed up automatically?

No, there's no automatic cloud backup. Tango Juliet includes a one-click backup/restore feature in Settings — we recommend using it regularly and storing the backup somewhere safe, like an external drive or your own cloud storage.

Can I use it with a team?

One license is intended for a single freelancer or a small team of up to two people working from the same installation. There's currently no real-time multi-user sync.

Do I need to be online?

No. After activation, the app works fully offline — it only briefly checks your subscription status online at startup.

How do I cancel?

Through the customer portal link in your confirmation/receipt email, or by emailing support@tangojulietapp.com. You keep access until the end of your paid period.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

It stays on your Mac. You just won't be able to reactivate the app without an active subscription — we still recommend exporting a backup before cancelling.

Is my payment secure?

Yes — all payments are handled by Paddle, our payment provider and merchant of record. We never see or store your card details ourselves.

How do I get support?

Email support@tangojulietapp.com and we'll get back to you.
