Outgrew your
lighting app?
You love how simple those tap-a-color iPad lighting apps are — until you need real cues, a second universe, or the sound and visuals on the same page. sho.run keeps the simplicity and gives you room to grow.
“Bring your tablet. Patch the venue's rig with mass-clone, build the looks, and run real cues — the simple app that finally scales with you.”— the touring lighting person
The night, as it usually goes.
- Great for a quick wash — but no real cue list when the show gets bigger.
- Locked to one dongle or one brand's hardware.
- Lights only. Sound and visuals live in other apps, out of sync.
- You've hit the ceiling and people have told you the only step up is a $2,000 console.
How it actually runs.
Keep the tap-a-color simplicity you like. When the show needs a real cue list, a few more universes, or the sound and visuals on the same page, sho.run is already there — no new console, no new hardware.
Open protocols
Art-Net, sACN, and USB DMX (beta) — not locked to one dongle. Bring the interface you already own.
Real cues
Graduate from live-busking to a saved cue list with timings, tags, and auto-advance — when you're ready.
More than lights
Add visuals and audio to the same cue list. One app grows with the show instead of five that don't talk.
Still human-friendly
Porthole color picker, one-tap looks, and plain-English controls — the easy feel you came for, kept.
Bigger rigs
Mass-clone patching, groups, address-conflict warnings, and a power estimate for when the rig grows.
Same iPad
Runs on the iPad or Android tablet you already gig with. Nothing new to lug.
Run your next one with sho.run.
Free beta on iPad, Mac, and Android tablet.
