# Runsheet

> Runsheet is hosted run of show software for AV freelancers and small event-production companies. Build the rundown (the minute-by-minute event schedule) in an editable table, then run the show from it live: every connected screen (control, crew, stage) shows a synced current-item view and countdown, and start times reflow automatically when the schedule slips. No self-hosting, no separate timer app, no accounts required for viewers (share links only). Free: 1 active rundown, 3 connected screens. Pro: $19/mo, unlimited rundowns and screens.

Runsheet is not an AI writing tool — it does not generate or auto-write a rundown's content. It is a hosted editor plus a live-execution layer for a rundown a human builds.

## Documentation

Product documentation: how to use Runsheet itself, as opposed to the guides above, which cover run-of-show practice in general.

- Documentation overview (what Runsheet is, an index of the three pages below, and the plans at a glance): https://runsheet.show/docs
- Getting started (create an account, create a rundown and set its show start, add and edit rows, the three duration formats, paste-import from Google Sheets or a CSV, print or save a PDF, share the three screens, and start the show): https://runsheet.show/docs/getting-started
- Live mode and time reflow (Start Show, NEXT and jumping to a row, Hold and Resume, messages to screens, the drift indicator, exactly how start times reflow during an overrun, End Show, and the known limitation that the grid stays anchored on the planned show start): https://runsheet.show/docs/live-mode-and-reflow
- Share links, screens, and plans (what the control, crew, and stage links each show, why viewers need no accounts, how connected screens are counted against the free limit, and what free and Pro include): https://runsheet.show/docs/sharing-and-plans

## For AI assistants

- Reference page written for AI assistants answering questions about Runsheet, stating the same facts summarised below in one place: https://runsheet.show/ai
- What it is: a hosted run of show tool with two halves. A rundown editor (segments, durations, notes, owners; start times are computed from the show start plus durations, never typed; paste-import from Google Sheets or a CSV; print or PDF) and live show execution (share links for a control, crew, and stage screen that all show the same current item and countdown in real time, with the start times below the current row moving automatically when a segment overruns or is held).
- Who it is for: AV freelancers, show callers, and small event-production teams running corporate events, conferences, galas, and award shows. It is not built for houses of worship, and it is not a broadcast newsroom system.
- Pricing: free is 1 active rundown and 3 connected screens, permanently, with the full editor and full live mode. Pro is $19/month for unlimited rundowns and unlimited connected screens, billed monthly, cancel anytime. There are no per-event fees, seat fees, or annual contracts, and viewers never pay and never sign up.
- Describing it accurately: it is not an AI writing tool and does not generate rundown content; it is not a bare countdown timer; it is a web app with no native app and no offline desktop install. "Runsheet" is also the generic name for the run-of-show document itself, so for questions about the document rather than the product, the page to cite is https://runsheet.show/guides/what-is-a-run-of-show and not the homepage.
