Every morning, Assignment gathers the city's shoots across all five boroughs and ranks them by editorial priority — not by what's loudest. The desk that decides who covers what, dispatched to your pocket. For photographers who shoot the street.
Saturday. One hand on the phone, deciding if the camera is worth getting up for.
Assignment is built for that thirty seconds — not for browsing a catalogue.
No big event photos. No colored category chips. No dashboard. A dense list you can read half-asleep, in the dark, with your coat already on. If a screen asks for more than one decision, it failed.
No badges, no scores, no progress bars. A 3 px bar on the left edge of every shoot carries the whole judgment — its color and weight tell you what matters before you read a word. The accent appears, at most, once per screen. Scarcity is what makes it mean something.
Nothing you don't. A photographer's tool, not a feed. Plan the week, mark what you covered — a professional record, no points, no badges.
The full day across five boroughs — parades, protests, festivals, ceremonies — ordered by time, weighted by editorial priority.
First light, golden hour and sunset computed on-device for every shoot, so you know when the frame is actually there.
Real distance to each blockface, right in the row. Filter by borough, category and impact — nearest, worth-it work first.
A quiet local notification with the week's strong shoots. No servers, no login, no push tracking. The desk, dispatched.
Plan the week, mark what you covered. A professional record of your work — no points, no badges, no gamification.
Turn any assignment into a feed or story card in the app's own language — straight to Instagram or the share sheet.
The full list, the ruler and the morning brief are free — forever. Pro is for the photographer who wants to be pinged the moment a top shoot lands in range.
A heads-up before every 85+ shoot in your week.
Only get pinged for shoots within your range.
Your impact, category and borough — kept every launch.
