ShowWeaver is the production book that actually runs the show. Build multi-day schedules, program cue-by-cue rundowns, then go live — with your whole crew following along in real time. Built by a live event producer for the people who make shows happen: production managers, show callers, stage managers, technical directors, and the crews behind corporate events, conferences, worship services, and festivals. PLAN EVERY DETAIL • Multi-day event schedules with a drag-and-drop timeline • Fixed and floating activities, milestones, and buffer times that recalculate automatically • Venues, rooms, and locations attached to every activity • Day and activity tags to organize by track, department, or type PROGRAM THE RUNDOWN • Cue-by-cue rundowns with automatic timing math — start times, durations, and show length that stay honest • Custom columns for whatever your show needs: audio, video, lighting, graphics, talent notes • Attach files, links, and scripts right where the operator needs them • Assign cues to specific crew members and departments • Version history — snapshot a rundown before rehearsal, restore it when the client changes their mind again RUN THE SHOW LIVE • Call the show from your phone: GO, WRAP, hold, and time adjustments in real time • Every connected device follows along — the current cue, what's next, and where the show stands • Live timing shows exactly how far ahead or behind you're running • Live Activities put the running show on your lock screen KEEP THE CREW ALIGNED • Invite your team with a link — they see their assignments the moment they join • Departments, roles, and named positions that carry cue assignments • Personalized reports: every crew member gets a rundown of just their cues • Notifications for invitations and responses, so nobody misses the call time SHARE THE SHOW • Polished PDF exports: full rundowns, day-of schedules, and crew-specific reports • Public share links — hand a client or vendor a read-only rundown, no account needed • Calendar subscription feeds your events straight into Apple Calendar BUILT FOR PRODUCTION COMPANIES • Multiple workspaces for multiple clients or ministries • Event templates — build your show format once, reuse it every time • Workspace branding with your colors and logo • Face ID app lock for shows that aren't public yet ShowWeaver is free to download. Your organization sets up your workspace and invites you — open the app, enter your invitation code, and you're on the team. Your show is already in your head. Put it somewhere your whole crew can follow.

The clearest difference is device support: Tally Light at 3 against ShowWeaver's 1. Tally Light also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
