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.
