Features — ShowPrompt Cue & Confidence-Monitor System
Features

Everything you need to run a show

Grouped the way live production actually works — from the first countdown to the post-show report, across six purpose-built modes.

Timing & show control

The live run-of-show tools your operator drives.
Core

Precision Countdown Timers

Count up or down to any duration, with amber and red warning thresholds. Every connected screen updates the instant you hit go — wall-time anchored, so it never drifts over a long show.

Pro

Cue Lists & Running Orders

Build the whole show in advance as an ordered run of segments, then step through it live while presenters and crew only see the part meant for them.

Pro

Smart Timing Engine

Give each segment a planned duration and ShowPrompt tracks drift as you go — “Running 4 min late · projected end 21:34” — on the operator and producer screens.

Core

Show Recovery Toolbar

Hold, Delay, Skip, Extend, Blackout and Clear-All — for when a show goes sideways. Destructive actions need a press-and-hold, so a misclick can't ruin the moment.

ShowPrompt Conference controller showing the countdown timer, cue messages, running order, recovery toolbar and on-time tracker
The Conference controller — timer, cue messages, running order, the recovery toolbar and the on-time tracker, all in one view.

Displays & output

Put the right screen in front of every person.
Core

Any Screen, Any Device

Phones, tablets, TVs and monitors all work as displays — they just open a URL on your local network. Nothing to download or install on the screens.

Pro

Multi-Screen Output

Drive different views to different screens at once: a clean timer to the presenter, the cue sheet to the operator, a status panel to the crew — all from one laptop.

Core

QR Codes for Every Display

Every display URL has its own QR code in Settings. Scan it with a phone or tablet on the same network and the screen opens straight away — no typing IP addresses.

Pro

Display Preview Grid

One click on any controller shows live thumbnails of every connected display, so you can confirm what each screen shows without leaving the desk.

ShowPrompt broadcast cue screen showing LIVE state, segment overrun timer, camera tally and director message
Role-specific output — a broadcast cue screen here; each display can be set to exactly what its operator needs to see.
ShowPrompt matchday scoreboard screen showing team crests, score, period and match clock
The same show, a different role — a stadium Scoreboard screen with crests, score and match clock.
ShowPrompt theatre Stage screen showing only the cues relevant to the stage crew
A theatre Stage screen — each department (LX, Sound, Flys, Stage, FX, Fly) sees only its own calls.
ShowPrompt worship Congregation screen — clean output with team-only notes hidden
A worship Congregation screen — clean for the room, with team-only notes and the next-song prompt hidden.

Built for live production

Reliable in the room, and shaped to your world.
Core

No Internet, No Cloud

Runs entirely on your local network: no cloud dependency, no outage risk, no data leaving the room. It works in venues with no usable Wi-Fi at all.

Venue

Six Purpose-Built Modes

Conference, Broadcast, Matchday, Theatre, Worship and Talent — each shaped around how that environment actually runs, not a generic template.

Pro

Show Log & PDF Export

Every cue, timer event, segment advance and recovery action is logged with timestamps. Export as PDF or CSV after the show — ideal for client reports.

ShowPrompt theatre cueing — independent numbered cue lists per department (LX, Sound, Flys, FX) plus a cue book that fires them together on one grouped GO
Purpose-built per mode — Theatre cues each department on its own numbered list, or groups LX, Sound, Flys and FX to fire together on one GO.

In development — landing in a future update.

Pro

Producer Mode

A read-only show-overview screen for producers, directors and show-callers: current segment, every live timer, the drift indicator, connected displays and live cue activity, all at a glance.

Coming soon
Pro

Stream Deck & Companion

A Bitfocus Companion module to fire timers, cues and recovery actions from physical Stream Deck buttons — with live variables and on-key feedback.

Coming soon
Pro

CSV Run-Order Import

Paste a running order straight from Google Sheets or Excel — auto-detecting columns and mm:ss durations — with a live preview before it replaces the current run order.
