We built the rundown we wanted to call shows from.

Why we built it

If you've called a show, you know the rundown is the heart of it — the one document that has to be right, and the same for everyone in the room. We wanted ours to feel quick to edit, to keep its own time, and to hold up when the room is full and the clock is running.

We've run plenty of shows on the tools that already exist. The serious broadcast systems are powerful and priced for institutions; most of the affordable options stop at a shared sheet. We wanted something in between — proper, but something a normal crew can pick up and trust. So we built it.

What showrun actually is

It's a fast rundown grid you can run a real show from. Rich-text cells, drag rows and columns, sections, find & replace — the editing feels quick instead of fighting you. Timing is derived on read, so durations, hard times and back-timing always add up; change one item and the rest just follows. When you're live, there's a proper calling mode with Standby/Go and schedule drift, and your crew reads along in realtime with roles and private notes.

It works offline too — keep editing through a connection drop and it syncs back up once you're online again. And it never fires your cues: a human calls the show; showrun just helps that human stay fast and calm. Want the full picture?

How we work

showrun is in free public beta right now, and we're building it in the open. That means real showcallers, producers and crews are using it on real shows while we sand off the rough edges. If something's clunky, or there's a feature your show genuinely needs, we want to hear it — that feedback is shaping what we build next. You can reach us any time at info@tdtproductions.nl.
