The story behind the tools.
Show Tools exists because the live show world deserves better software. Not bloated suites with features you'll never touch — focused, purposeful tools that solve specific problems operators face every night.
Every piece of software we release comes from a real-world pain point. Something that slowed us down during a show, something that required a workaround that shouldn't have been necessary. We build the solution, refine it based on real feedback, and release it to the community.
We believe the live show community thrives when people share knowledge and tools openly. That's why everything we make is available to download and use — no accounts, no paywalls, no catch.
SHOW TOOLS

Show Tools is a one-person operation, built by a live show operator and developer who splits time between the stage and the codebase. With hands-on experience running visuals for live events, every tool is designed with the operator's perspective first — because that's where it came from.
The goal isn't to build a software company. It's to build the tools that I wish existed, and to share them with the community that I'm part of. If a tool helps even one other operator have a smoother show, it was worth building.
Every tool starts from a real workflow problem. We build what we need, then share it with the community.
Your show computer is already working hard. Our tools are designed to use minimal resources and never compete with your main software.
No paywalls, no gimmicks, no data collection. Download, use, and focus on your show.
The best tool ideas come from real operators facing real problems. If there's something you wish existed, let us know.
