Made backstage, for backstage

Every show timed. Every crew in the loop.

Curtain Calls is a show timer for theatre technicians. One tap on an iPhone and the whole building knows where the show is: the dock, the green room, front of house and the show report.

What it does

Built by a working theatre technician to replace the stopwatch, the scribbled times and the "is it the interval yet?" phone calls.

Show timer

Up, interval, down, stops and holds, one tap each on iPhone. Live Activity and the lock screen keep the clock in front of you all show.

Shared shows

Two technicians, one show. Both phones stay in step, and you can see who's connected.

Dock and green room screens

Running times and the show relay side by side on any TV with a small PC behind it.

Tonight page

A live page for front of house and the bar: what's on, where it's up to, and when it's due down.

Show reports

Times, dB readings and notes go straight into the report. No retyping at the end of a long night.

Run dashboards

Every performance of a run in one place, with a read-only link to share with the company or producer.

How it works

Each theatre will get its own address, like yourtheatre.curtaincalls.co.uk, with its own team, venues and schedule.

Add your shows

Put the schedule into the admin portal, and invite your technicians.

Time them on the night

Technicians sign in on their iPhones and time the show as normal. Everyone else sees it live.

Look back on the run

Reports, running times and dB levels for every performance, ready to share.
