External Beta

Apply for the ShowAxys External Beta.

We are looking for production professionals who can test ShowAxys against real workflows, real hardware and upcoming shows. This is a working beta, not a launch: expect rough edges, and expect us to ask what you found.

01 / What ShowAxys is

The production intelligence and connectivity application for a live show.

ShowAxys runs on a Mac host. It turns setlists into structured Songs and Track Versions, recognizes what is playing, learns from every performance and keeps connected operators and production systems aligned with one authoritative live state.

Track recognition: exact Track Version first, parent Song second

Local AI setlist import from photos and screenshots

Connected operators on production networks

Resolume workflows and visual assignments

Timecode Hub conversion and distribution

Installation, activation and day-to-day reliability

Living catalogue updates and metadata saved during shows

Current limitations

Features and hardware support are still being validated.

Interfaces may change between builds, some integrations may be incomplete, AI setlist reading and matching can need manual review, and compatibility is confirmed only after hardware validation. Always keep a manual fallback for live use.
