Sideline is a simple macOS app that automatically generates professional captions for your sports photos, so you can deliver on deadline and focus on doing what you do best.
We all know captioning is important.
Publications need it. Your clients expect it.
But let's be honest: writing captions kinda sucks.
As sports photographers, it's the part of the job we hate the most. You'd rather be shooting or editing – you know, actually using your creativity – not typing player names and action descriptions.
That's where Sideline comes in. Sideline identifies players from Photo Mechanic rosters, understands the action in your photos, and writes professional captions in industry-standard styles like AP and Getty Images.
It's like having a professional editor working alongside you.
