If you've ever worked as a background performer, day player, or on-set crew, you know the feeling. You wrap for the day, you're driving home, and you're already wondering: who's going to be on set tomorrow?
For years, the answer was a group chat. Someone would post the call sheet or their call time, and you'd piece together who was working. It worked — sort of. But group chats get noisy. Not everyone remembers to post. And you'd never really know who from your circle was on the same show until you showed up.
Yost started as a simple idea: what if there was a calendar where you could log your own bookings, and see the schedules of the people you actually work with? No call sheets. No sensitive information. Just a shared view of who's working where and when.
Most scheduling apps are built for 9-to-5 workers with recurring appointments. Film and TV doesn't work like that. You work in bursts — sometimes every day for two weeks on one show, then nothing, then three shows at once. Call times change. Productions use working titles. You're often under an NDA just for showing up.
Yost is built around how set work actually works. You add your bookings with whatever name you're comfortable using — a working title, a code, anything. Only the friends you choose to add can see your schedule. Nobody else.
As someone who has worked as a background performer and knows the daycaller world, one of the most common questions before a job is whether any familiar faces will be there. It changes the vibe of the whole day. Knowing you're going to see someone you like makes a 5am call time a lot easier to deal with.
Yost makes that possible without anyone having to post in a group chat or reveal anything they shouldn't.
Yost is free to use. There's no premium tier. Your schedule is only visible to people you explicitly add as friends — not the public, not other users, not anyone else. You can delete your account and all your data at any time from your profile settings.
