Each does one show-day job and does it instead of everything else — timecode, tour-day operations, playback redundancy. Pick a tool to jump straight to it.
SMPTE LTC timecode chase and full session capture for Ableton Live.
The whole show day, filtered to your role — and it runs with no signal.
Automatic playback failover for redundant Ableton rigs on Dante.
Tour management for iOS
Schedule, contacts, documents, setlist, hotel, travel, and venue for the entire touring party — every person sees only what their role needs. Native iOS, offline-first, built for basements with no signal.
A focused, native alternative to Master Tour and Daysheets — it wins by showing each person only their slice of the day instead of the whole binder.
Schedule, contacts, documents, and Wi-Fi networks filter by role by default. A band member never sees crew load-in; FOH sees their call times, not the merch shipment. One toggle reveals the full sheet when you actually want it.
Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show your next event, a live countdown, and walking + driving ETA to the venue — updated silently as the schedule moves, no notification noise. Four layouts, all role-filtered.
Every read comes from an on-device SwiftData store, so the day sheet opens instantly with no signal. Edit everything offline; client-generated UUIDs keep writes conflict-free and a last-write-wins-per-field merge reconciles cleanly.
Keep W9, tech rider, hospitality rider, stage plot, and input list on the band record where they persist across every tour. Multi-select the files a venue needs and hand them off via iMessage, Mail, or Drive in one action.
Cross into a 200m radius around the venue and your phone offers the network assigned to your role, then re-checks 30 seconds after joining. Multiple role-targeted networks per show, with a cooldown so the parking lot doesn't spam you.
Record an ARKit walkthrough with named pins — Stage, FOH, Monitor World, Catering, Load Dock, Bus Parking, Merch — then follow AR arrows to any of them. Stored per venue and kept across tours.
Every item carries start, end, location, and audience — any mix of roles or specific people. Start each show from a per-tour template, then bump the whole day forward by N minutes with one button when doors slip.
Locked to dark at the Info.plist and SwiftUI root — no light mode, no theme picker, no white flash on launch. Built for dark venues, backstage, and the front lounge of a bus at 2am, where a bright UI is hostile.

Ableton playback redundancy
Keeps your backup Ableton set running in sync and fully muted, listening for a 1 kHz heartbeat from the main machine over Dante. Lose the heartbeat and two independent watchers unmute the backup in about 300 milliseconds — no PlayAudio hardware, no Max for Live.
For playback techs, FOH engineers, and tour managers running redundant rigs on Dante Virtual Soundcard — the job of a PlayAudio-style hardware switch, done in software on the two computers already in the rig.
The main computer transmits a 1 kHz pilot sine on a spare Dante channel, running 24/7 independent of Ableton's transport — so stopping playback between songs can never cause a false failover.
On the backup, a Live remote script watches the pilot track's meter while the Sentinel app hears the same silence through Core Audio. Either one alone unmutes every track and return.
When the heartbeat vanishes past the threshold (default 300 ms), the backup's muted Dante channels go from silence to signal. Nothing on the network re-subscribes; the console never notices the handoff.
Optional routing passes the heartbeat through Live's own audio engine on every sample. If the engine seizes while the process lives on, the tone dies and the backup takes over — a hang a machine-level watchdog would sail past.
On a shared LAN the two Sentinels auto-discover over Bonjour and exchange status four times a second. When Sentinel A sees Live quit it announces the failover to B directly, beating the tone threshold.
On failover the menu bar goes red, macOS posts a notification, and the event is timestamped to a log under Application Support — your receipt for the post-show report. Re-arms automatically when the heartbeat returns.
The Sentinel pings Live every 3 seconds with a no-op Apple Event; three straight timeouts (~10 s, so loading a set doesn't cry wolf) flag Live as '(Not Responding)' — without ever triggering failover by itself.
