Realtime Callsheet
A live running order that tracks where you are in the show and prompts each cue as it comes up.
CueCollab gives the show caller a structured, distraction-free view of every cue in order — with live countdowns for timecoded cues, confirmation tracking, and broadcast to the whole team.
The Callsheet replaces a paper running order with a live, interactive view of every cue in show order. Each instance runs independently by default — multiple operators can have their own callsheet open simultaneously without interfering with each other.
Cues are either manual (visual, audible, or live-feedback cues the caller calls at their discretion) or timecoded (tied to a specific TC value). For timecoded cues, a countdown ticks down in the current cue panel, and the cue comes up automatically when its timecode arrives. The caller still confirms each cue after calling it, keeping them actively engaged rather than just watching a list advance on its own.
When a specific instance activates Master mode, it broadcasts its position to all connected Client views in real time — ideal for follow spots, stage automation operators, or anyone who needs to see where the show caller is without their own copy of the rundown. An Unattended view runs fully automatically from timecode with no operator needed, for screens in green rooms or backstage areas.
Reference text (lyrics, script excerpts) can be shown on each cue row, and cues can be filtered or hidden by tag — so each operator sees only the cues relevant to their department.
Use Case
A large concert has mostly timecoded lighting and video cues, but the show caller also manages manual stage movement cues that depend on what’s happening live on stage. The Callsheet shows all cues in order — timecoded cues count down automatically, manual cues wait for the caller to advance. Follow spot operators have Client views on their phones showing the current and next cue. A screen at the monitor desk runs the Unattended view so the audio team always knows where the show is, without needing a dedicated operator.
The details that make the difference.
Every feature in CueCollab exists because someone needed it in a real production. No fluff — just the tools that actually matter when the show is running.
Tags & Department Lists
Organize cues and notes with tags and department lists. Filter to only what is relevant to your role.
Excel Import & Export
Export notes to Excel for sharing, or import data in bulk for easy editing. Full columns, all metadata, both ways.
OSC & MIDI Control
Control CueCollab remotely via OSC or MIDI Show Control from lighting consoles, show controllers, or custom scripts.
No Internet Required
Everything runs on the local network. No cloud dependency — the show goes on even without internet.
Browser-Based Clients
Every team member connects from their own browser — no app to install on phones, tablets, or laptops.
URL-Stored Preferences
Display layouts, filters, and preferences are saved in the URL. Bookmark a configured page and share it with the team.
Message the Whole House
Send an announcement in one tap — it appears instantly on every browser, display, and callsheet on the network.
One Tap from Your Phone
Quick Entry turns any phone into a one-tap notepad. Configure preset phrases and fire them with a tap — timestamped to the current cue and shared with the whole team instantly.
Save the Show, Restore in Seconds
Showfiles snapshot the entire production state — cues, ranges, settings, everything. Restore before the next run or hand it off to the next crew.
No Timecode? No Problem.
No TC feed? Notes are stamped to the current cue name and time-since-cue instead. The workflow stays the same — nothing breaks.
Flag It. Track It. Resolve It.
Colored flags mark notes that need urgent attention. Resolve them when actioned — who resolved it and when is tracked automatically.
Audio Standby & Call Alerts
The callsheet plays a configurable sound when a cue enters standby and again when it comes up. Eyes on stage, not the screen — the sound tells you what's next.
Auto-Reset for Repeating Shows
Running multiple performances a day? The callsheet resets to cue one automatically when timecode restarts — ready for the next audience without touching a thing.
Easy Sharing
Export note lists as plain text or Excel and send them to anyone. Recordings are standard MP4 files with timecode and cue info burned in — no special software, no account, no context lost.
Battle-Tested Since 2021
Built and refined through real productions — not vibe-coded, not prototyped. Every feature earned its place on an actual show night.
Trigger Additional Recorders at Once
Start several OBS instances or HyperDecks simultaneously — one for review, others for backup or archive. All triggered together, automatically.
Recording Autopilot
Timecode starts — recording starts. Timecode stops — recording stops, after a configurable delay. Jumps restart the file. Short accidental takes are cancelled automatically. No operator needed.
Scheduled Recording
Set recording to start and stop at a fixed time — once or weekly. No timecode needed. Useful for unattended sessions, daily archives, or any situation where the clock is the trigger.
