Read full description

Stage Clock Viewer turns any Apple TV, iPhone, or iPad into a production display for StageClock, the production clock system for churches, theaters, and live events. Point it at your StageClock operator and it becomes one of your screens β€” backstage confidence monitor, green-room rundown, lobby clock β€” rendering live and in perfect sync. THREE VIEWS β€’ Stage β€” the timer output: big digits, item name, time of day, warnings and negative time in red, cue messages. β€’ Rundown β€” the live run of show with section headers, the current item highlighted, what's next, and the Started / On time / Ends strip. β€’ Clock β€” a huge time-of-day display, 12/24-hour per screen. BUILT FOR SHOW NIGHT β€’ Finds your operator automatically β€” even on networks that block Bonjour β€” or connect by address once and it remembers. β€’ Clocks keep running through network hiccups and reconnect on their own. The screen never sleeps while the app is open. β€’ Your operator assigns each screen its view from the console and can restyle everything live β€” colors, flashes, your own logo. Requires the StageClock desktop app (macOS or Windows) running on the same network as the operator. No account, no tracking β€” the app talks only to your operator. Try it without a server: open the app and choose "Watch a demo."
