ContentHelper

Your simple phone guide

Short steps for filming today’s reel, or preparing the day for someone else.

Install from TestFlight Use build 26 Sign in with email code

Everyone starts here

First-time setup

Do this once. After that, you mostly just open the app each day.

  1. 1

    Install from TestFlight

    Open the TestFlight app on your iPhone. Find ContentHelper and install it. Make sure it says build 26 (or newer, if you were told to update).

  2. 2

    Open ContentHelper once

    Tap the ContentHelper icon. The first open finishes the install.

  3. 3

    Sign in with your approved email

    Type the email that was approved for you. Tap Email me a code. Check that inbox (and Spam). Enter the 6-digit code, then tap Sign in.

    You do not need a pairing code. Just the email code.

Creator path

If you are the Creator

Your job is simple: open Today, follow the Shoot Folio, and film.

1

Open the Today tab

You should see today’s date and one big card for the reel. If the card is there, you’re ready.

Tap the big Today card to open Shoot Folio
2

Tap today’s card

That opens Shoot Folio — your filming packet for the day.

3

Start with Storyboard

The top tabs are your guide. Storyboard shows the picture plan with times for each shot.

Storyboard → Scenes → Script → Caption → Audio

Shoot Folio Storyboard tab with timed shots and thumbnails
Storyboard: times, pictures, and shot ideas
4

Use Scenes while you film

On Scenes, each shot has a picture, a time range, and clear “what to capture” notes.

Scenes: picture, time, and what to film
5

Check Script and Caption

Open Script for the words to say. Open Caption when you’re ready to post — tap Copy for Instagram.

Caption: copy the text when you’re ready to post
6

Film with Instagram as usual

ContentHelper tells you what to shoot. You still record and edit in Instagram (or your usual camera app).

7

Mark progress (optional but helpful)

In Scenes, tap Mark all as shot when you’re done filming. Later you can Mark as posted.

8

If today won’t work

On Today, tap Give me other ideas. You can use a short backup, a caption-only post, save for tomorrow, or skip today.

A completed day just means you made a choice. You do not have to post every day.

You do not need to research trends, write prompts, or manage a calendar. If something looks wrong, tell the Manager in one short note.

Manager path

If you are the Manager

You prepare one day at a time, then publish so Creator sees it on Today.

1

Open Manager tools

Go to the Profile tab. Tap the arrow on Manager tools. You’ll see Daily and References.

2

Open Daily

Pick today, tomorrow, or another day you want to plan ahead.

3

Write a short day brief

In your own words, say what today’s reel should be about — location, mood, shots, and anything to avoid.

The brief cannot be empty. A few clear sentences are enough.

Daily: pick a day, write the brief, then Generate
4

Tap Generate

Wait while ContentHelper builds the day. You’ll get a storyboard and caption. Picture guides are created with the day, so Creator will see the same visuals on Today.

Generating can take a couple of minutes — leave the app open
5

Review the preview

Check storyboard, scenes, script, and caption. If the day is weak, tap Generate again.

Your Daily preview should match what Creator will see on Today.

6

Publish the selected day

When ready, tap Publish selected day. If the date is today, Creator should see the card after they open or refresh the app.

7

Quick daily check

Confirm Creator has a useful Today card. Only step in if the card is wrong or missing.

Generated days stay under Generated days in Daily. Nothing goes live for Creator until you publish.

Quick help

If something goes wrong

Try these first. Keep it simple.

No email code arrived

Check Spam / Junk. Confirm the email spelling. Wait a minute, then ask for a new code. If it still fails, ask the owner to resend access for your email.

The app says my email is not approved

Only approved emails can sign in. Ask the owner to approve your email, then try again.

Wrong build / old app

Open TestFlight → ContentHelper → update to build 26 (or the build you were told to use). Then open the app once.

Creator: no Today card

Usually the day has not been published yet. Ask the Manager to open Daily, choose today’s date, and tap Publish selected day. Then reopen ContentHelper.

Manager: Generate button won’t tap

Make sure you are in Manager tools, the day brief is not empty, and you are not already generating that date.

Something else looks wrong

Close the app and open it again. If it still looks wrong, send one short note to the other person with what you see on screen.
