Running shows worldwide

Ontime worked easily out-of-the-box and grew with us as we built deep integrations within our studio.

Most importantly, our team (including the talent) love how easy it is to use.

Tommy West
Creative director

First I used Ontime only for stage timers, but it quickly became the organizational heartbeat for many shows - big and small.

Alexander Heber
Video engineer

Throughout the festival season, Ontime has proven itself to be an indispensable tool for show timing.

It has transformed the way that we manage festival production reducing stage management workload, ensuring everyone is on the same page both on and off stage.

Terry Sharp
Sound engineer

Our receiving venue uses Ontime to display the day's schedule information to guests, talent and technicians.

At show time, Ontime has been fundamental for sharing information between FOH and backstage and is, at this point, a core part of our workflow.

Ontime stage timer

Communicate time

to presenters, artists, team members, stage managers and everyone else

The timer sits at the core of Ontime. It shows the running timer along with information on upcoming events.

Different layouts get you started but can be customized and saved to presets while keeping responsiveness on all devices.

Ontime backstage

Communicate data

to guests and production teams

Ontime distinguishes rundown as being public or production / backstage events.

This allows for having different layouts of data shown in public and backstage signage. Backstage screens also receive extra information, such as real-time information on delay scheduling.

Ontime cuesheet

For running shows and rehearsals

with operators, show callers and everyone involved

Ontime helps operators stay on track during shows and rehearsals.

With both cuesheets and automated operator screens, your team will always be on the right cue. Team members can add their own notes to the rundown and easily customise the views to focus on the data that is relevant to them.

Ontime editor

Manage your rundown

stay in the driver's seat and keep track of every cue, note and event property

The editor lets you create, delete, rearrange, and set up the information Ontime uses. Start by importing a rundown from Excel or Google Sheets, then adapt it for the show.
