Run of show software
Build the rundown. Run the show. Every screen in sync.
Build your rundown in a hosted editor, then run the show from it live: synced countdowns and current-item view on every connected screen, no setup.
The Google Sheet dies the moment the show goes live
It's fine for planning. Then one segment runs four minutes long, every start time below it is wrong, and someone has to retype the whole column by hand while the show is actually happening. Meanwhile AV, stage, and the caller are each looking at their own copy, on their own laptop, hoping it's the latest one.
How it works
Build. Share. Run.
1. Build
Build the rundown
Type it in or paste straight from a Google Sheet. Set durations, not fixed times — start times compute themselves and reflow the moment something runs long.
2. Share
Share the links
Three share links per rundown: control, crew, and stage. No accounts, no installs — anyone with the link sees the live view on any device.
3. Run
Run the show
Hit Start. Every connected screen shows the current item and a synced countdown. Jump, hold, or resume, and the whole room updates together.
Live mode
What every connected screen gets
Every screen in sync
Control, crew, and stage views all update from the same live state, in under a second.
Times reflow automatically
Run long on one segment and every start time after it shifts. Nobody retypes the schedule by hand mid-show.
Drift indicator
See at a glance whether the show is on time, running late, or ahead of schedule — not just an elapsed timer.
Role-based views
Control gets Next/Hold/End. Crew gets the full rundown with the current row highlighted. Stage gets a huge current-item + countdown, nothing else.
No accounts for viewers
Only the person building the rundown signs up. Everyone watching a share link just opens it.
Zero setup
No Docker, no self-hosting, no separate timer app to bolt on. It's hosted and ready before the show starts.
Free to start, $19/mo when you outgrow it
Free

FAQ
- What is a run of show?
- A run of show (also called a rundown or show flow) is the minute-by-minute schedule a live event runs on: every segment, its start time, duration, who's responsible, and any cues or notes. It's the document a show caller or AV lead has open the entire time the event is live.
- How is Runsheet different from StageTimer?
- StageTimer is a synced-timer product, and its free tier already covers basic countdown timers well. Runsheet does the rundown and the live execution together: you build the schedule in the same place you run it from, and start times reflow automatically when the schedule slips, instead of managing a separate timer app on top of a spreadsheet.
- Why not just use a Google Sheet?
- A spreadsheet works fine until the show goes live. The moment one segment runs long, every start time below it is wrong, and someone has to manually retype the rest of the column while the show is happening. A spreadsheet also isn't a synced live view — everyone's staring at whatever version is open on their own screen.
- Do viewers need an account to see the live show?
- No. Only the person building the rundown signs up. Control, crew, and stage each get their own share link, and anyone with the link can open the live view on any device with no login.
- What happens if the venue wifi drops?
- The countdown keeps ticking locally on each device even if the connection drops, since it's computed from the current item's start time, not redrawn every second from the server. When the connection comes back, the view reconnects automatically and re-syncs to the live state.
