ShowRevue Monitor

Window → ShowRevue Monitor turns any Mac running ShowRevue into a show client — the same experience as the iPhone companion, on a laptop. Joining is free on every tier; only hosting is licensed.

Joining​

  • This Mac — on the Mac hosting the show, the Monitor joins its own session instantly over loopback.
  • Your cloud shows — sign in as normal and pick from the shows you're a member of (live ones are marked). The app also checks in the background and prompts "Open ShowRevue Monitor" when a show you're in goes live.
  • On this network — ShowRevue Macs found via Bonjour; nominate your name and role (remembered) and enter the Live Notes PIN if set.

The Monitor roams between LAN and cloud automatically, exactly like the phone — the LAN/CLOUD badge and latency readout in the header show the current route.

In the window​

  • Monitor strip — big LX cue with label and since-cue timer, extrapolated timecode with the show-state counter stacked beneath it, current media cue, the Stage Display's current message, presence, REC badge, latency and a stale-data banner.
  • Notes column — full Live Notes: the Add Note button mints a time-locked draft the instant it's pressed (the locked LTC and last cue show while you type), per-department quick-note presets, department filter, and per-note comments, editing, complete/reopen. Notes open only while a recording runs; while idle the header badge shows the upcoming session number.
  • Chat column — the full Show Chat: filters, @-autocomplete, acknowledgements, pin, seen-by, make-note.

Compact rail mode​

The toolbar toggle collapses the Monitor into a skinny always-on-top strip — current cue, show state, REC dot, the last chat line and latency — that floats above console software for desks with no screen room. Toggle again for the full window.
