OSC Timer vs Rigwise

In the fast-paced world of presentations and entertainment, timing is everything. Yet, integrating show control software with traditional timer equipment has long been a challenge. Enter OSC Timer—a powerful, customizable solution designed to seamlessly bridge this gap. With Open Sound Control (OSC) embedded in nearly every show control software today, OSC Timer offers a robust and scalable timer that perfectly fits into any networked AV setup. Whether you need a single timer or multiple, OSC Timer adapts to your needs, providing unparalleled control and flexibility. Real-time Control & Customization: Thanks to OSC, you can control every aspect of the timer in real time—from starting, stopping, and resetting to adjusting colors, scaling, and at-end behaviors—all on the fly. The app’s versatility allows for multiple timers to run simultaneously, display system time, and even send OSC messages triggered at user-defined intervals. Enhanced Broadcast Features: Broadcast time, warnings, or custom messages across your network with ease. OSC Timer can subscribe to or unsubscribe from specific OSC messages, ensuring precise communication throughout your show. Dynamic Layout & Display: Arrange your timer display to suit your event’s needs—whether it’s a single timer dominating the screen or a multi-slot layout showing different timers, broadcasts, or even a system clock. The display is fully flexible, allowing you to tailor it perfectly to your requirements. Extensive OSC API: Explore the full potential of OSC Timer with an extensive OSC API that lets you manipulate everything from font size and alignment to background colors and border styles. Whether it’s adjusting the brightness, setting the text alignment, or configuring alert zones, OSC Timer gives you the tools to create the perfect timing setup.

Rigwise is the rigging calculator built for the field — fast, correct, fully offline, and a one-time purchase. No subscription. No account. No internet required. Your data never leaves your phone. Built for crane riggers, signal persons, ironworkers, and anyone who plans a lift. THE CALCULATORS (always free) • Sling Tension — see how the load in each leg climbs as the sling angle drops. Enter the angle, or just the sling length and height. Clear red warning below 30°. • Working Load Limit — vertical, choker, and basket hitches, with the angle and D/d reduction factors applied. • Center of Gravity — find how much each pick point actually carries when the load is off-center. • Crane Capacity % — check your load against the chart capacity, with a warning when you're over. Every result shows a plain-language safety state, glove-readable, in light or dark. RIGWISE PRO — the studio (one-time purchase, yours forever) • Gear inventory — log your slings, shackles, chains, and hooks with their tagged WLL. • Inspection tracking — Rigwise flags gear that's overdue for inspection before you grab it. • Lift Plans — save a named lift; Rigwise re-computes the numbers from your inputs so a saved plan is never a stale, hand-typed figure. • Field-ready export — share a clean lift-plan summary with your crew. WHY RIGWISE • Works 100% offline — job sites don't have signal. • One-time purchase — the tools you paid for keep working, forever. • Private by design — no account, no tracking, nothing collected. • Correct — the math is deterministic and exhaustively tested against standard rigging practice. SAFETY Rigwise is a calculation aid. Always verify every result against the manufacturer's tag, the load chart, and a qualified person. It is not a substitute for an engineered lift plan or professional judgment. Rigging is inherently hazardous; you are solely responsible for the safety of any lift.
