A room that has to look alive for eight hours, and nobody to drive it.

What that screen is doing right now

• ›It is off, and a dark screen in a lit room reads as closed.
• ›It is showing a menu board nobody has read since it went up.
• ›It is playing the loop an agency cut for you, and your regulars can time it.
• ›It is showing a desktop with somebody’s file names on it.
• ›It showed something worth watching last Friday, because you booked someone for it. Tonight it is off.

None of those is a disaster. All of them are a room telling a customer that nobody is paying attention tonight.

Where it goes

Every one of these names the room you pick in the app, so the first picture that comes up already suits what happens in that room.

• Bars, cafés & restaurants The screen behind the bar, from the first coffee to last orders — it follows whatever is playing without anyone stepping away from the taps. 70 of the 103 scenes carry the Live Music tag 7 rooms and moments mapped
• Retail & public space A window, a lobby or a waiting room that has to look deliberate for the whole trading day, with nobody rostered to drive it. 56 of the 103 scenes carry the Corporate tag 8 rooms and moments mapped
• Clubs & dance floors The main room at 1am. It reads the beat off what the booth is actually playing, and no two nights look the same. 38 of the 103 scenes carry the Dance Music tag 7 rooms and moments mapped
• Live music & stage A backdrop for the band or the booth that answers the set being played, not a timecode somebody has to chase from the wings. 70 of the 103 scenes carry the Live Music tag 6 rooms and moments mapped
• Events, conference & brand The reveal, the keynote, and the eight hours of booth loop in between — one machine, and no rendered file to re-cut when the running order moves. 56 of the 103 scenes carry the Corporate tag 6 rooms and moments mapped
• Fitness, wellness & worship Visuals paced to a class, a service or a treatment — slow where the room is slow, and landed gracefully when you set Finish in. 40 of the 103 scenes carry the Fitness/Meditation/Worship tag 19 rooms and moments mapped
• Streaming, broadcast & creators Starting-soon screens, overlays and vertical clips generated live, so nothing behind a two-hour stream is played back from a file. 72 of the 103 scenes carry the Broadcast/Social Media/Creator tag 5 rooms and moments mapped
• Installations & large format A wall, a dome or a facade that runs through opening hours, with nobody in the booth on a Tuesday afternoon. 72 of the 103 scenes carry the Broadcast/Social Media/Creator tag 8 rooms and moments mapped
• Children & sensory A sensory room or a bedtime wind-down, where the scenes written for children carry their own flash ceiling rather than leaving it to whoever opened the app. 38 of the 103 scenes carry the Children tag 7 rooms and moments mapped

The proof

The per-segment figures above are read out of the shipping app's own scene tags, not written here. When the library moves, so do they.

What it replaces

What it costs

$199, once.

Price it against the night, not against a software shelf. Hire is billed by the evening: you pay it, the evening ends, and the next one is a fresh invoice. This is billed once. The second evening costs nothing, and so does every one after it.

One-time purchase. No subscription, ever. Free updates within the major version. Downloading is free and always was — the whole app, every scene, every look. What $199 buys is one thing: your output comes back clean — the marks gone, permanently.

Who has to say yes

It hears the room, and nothing leaves the Mac

The audio is analysed in memory, frame by frame, and is never transmitted off the Mac. The only file it ever reaches is a recording someone starts there, which is written to that Mac and stays on it.

What it reports, and how to stop it

No advertising, and nothing about your room: no audio, no picture, no file names, nothing anyone typed. What it does report is how the app itself is used — which parts get opened, whether a command worked, how it performs — so we can tell which of it earns its place. It is on by default and one switch in Settings turns it off.

It can be turned down for a public room

It can produce fast, bright, flashing visuals — read the warning before you install it anywhere. A Reduce flashing setting caps the per-beat strobe, and it honours the macOS Reduce Motion setting.

Staff run it from their own phone, on your network

No app to install and no account: a phone joins by scanning a code shown on the Mac, and each code works once. Blackout, Next and Panic are on its first screen, and it tells whoever is holding it when the sound has stopped. The page comes from the Mac over your own network, and nothing goes through the internet. More on the phone remote.

It runs on a Mac you already have

It taps whatever audio is already playing on that Mac, with no re-routing software in between.
