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.
First I used Ontime only for stage timers, but it quickly became the organizational heartbeat for many shows - big and small.
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.
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.
Feature overview
Ontime helps teams stay aligned while planning and running live events.
Plan and track your show schedule, manage automations, and collaborate on cross-department event data in one place.
In any device
Ontime is accessible on any device with a web browser, including tablets, mobile phones, laptops, production signage, and media servers.
Delay workflows
Manage and communicate runtime delays in real-time to your entire production team.
Built for teamwork
Ontime offers real-time collaboration tools for various roles in your production team, including directors, operators, and backstage crew, without imposing any restrictions on the number of team members who can join a session.
Automatable
Ontime can be fully or partially controlled by an operator, or run standalone with the system clock for automated rundowns.
Focus on integrations
Use one of the APIs provided (OSC, HTTP, Websocket) or the available Companion module to integrate into your existing workflow (disguise, Qlab, OBS).
Communicate time
to presenters, artists, team members, stage managers and everyone elseThe timer feature 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.
Communicate data
to guests and production teamsOntime 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.
For running shows and rehearsals
with operators, show callers and everyone involvedOntime gives you powerful options to keep 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.
