RunOrder for recitals
Parents know when their performer is on.
Even when the show runs over.
Share the running order with one link. Parents search for their performer and see an estimated stage time. Backstage taps each act as it finishes, and every time in the audience updates.
Free during the beta. Android and iPhone apps are with our testers now.
Why RunOrder
"When is she on?"
It's the question of every recital. Printed programmes list the order but not the time, and once one act runs over nobody knows any more. With RunOrder, parents see an up-to-date estimate for their performer, because backstage moves the show along as it happens.
What it does
Built for shows with a running order.
Find your performer
Parents search a name and see the act number and an estimated stage time.
Backstage control
Whoever's on the clipboard taps Mark act finished, and the whole running order moves on.
Times that keep up
Estimated times update as each act finishes, and Running late adds minutes if things slip.
Starting-soon alert
Parents with alerts on hear when the show is about to start, and when it's running late.
Acts, not timestamps
List your acts in order with the show's start time. RunOrder works out the rest.
One link for every family

No more guessing from the audience.
- Search for their performer. See the act number and an estimated time on stage.
- Always the latest estimate. Times move as each act finishes, so they know when to be in their seat.

For teachers and backstage
One tap per act.
- Mark act finished. One big button backstage. The running order and every estimate move on.
- Running late, without a fuss. Add minutes if the interval runs long.
- Three views. Organiser to set up, Parent to check what families see, Backstage to run the show.
