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.

FAQ
- What is Runsheet?
- Hosted run of show software: build the minute-by-minute schedule for a live event, then run the show from the same tool, with synced current-item view and countdowns on every connected screen.
- 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 does live sync work?
- One person runs Control and taps Next, Hold, or Resume. Every other connected screen, crew and stage included, follows the caller's current item in real time, so nobody is working off a stale printout or an old browser tab.
- Does it reflow times automatically when a segment runs long?
- Yes, verified in production. Run a segment over its planned duration and every downstream start time recalculates from the actual elapsed time, not just the plan, and hold time counts too.
- What does Runsheet cost?
- Free forever: 1 active rundown, 3 connected screens, the full editor, full live mode, and print/PDF export. Pro is $19/mo for unlimited rundowns and unlimited connected screens.
- Does it work in a browser? Can crew use it on a tablet?
- Yes. It's a hosted web app, no install, that runs in any modern browser on a laptop, tablet, or phone. Stage and crew screens are built to sit open on whatever device is already at the venue.
- Can crew view the live show without an account?
- Yes. Only the person building the rundown signs up. Control, crew, and stage each get their own share link, and anyone with the link opens 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.
