Fourteen tools live · A Squaresmile Media platform
Built for the people who run the show.

Your plot becomes your rider.
Every other tech-rider tool starts you on a blank page, because it doesn't own the tools that hold your data. Here, the channel list, the frequencies, the power plan and the set times already live on this platform — so the rider assembles itself from work you've already done.
One tap per section pulls each source in — and flags it later if the source changed since you imported it.
All four source tools are live today — two of them free. RiderSmith, the tool that assembles them, is still in build; the imports are written and working, and it goes on sale when the rest of it is ready. Stage Plot Generator feeds PatchSmith the same way, next.

Straight Answers
Frequently asked.
Do I need an account?
For the free browser tools, yes — a free one. Signup is email + password, about 30 seconds, and no credit card is ever asked for. Free tools unlock the moment you verify your email.
Is anything here a subscription?
No. Paid tools are one-time Gumroad purchases — pay once, own the license. The free tools stay free.
What happens if I stop paying?
There is nothing to stop. No recurring billing exists anywhere on the platform: you buy a tool once and it stays unlocked on your account — updates included.
Does it work offline?
Show Clock does — it installs as a full offline PWA, so the timer keeps running when venue Wi-Fi does not. The Spektra desktop app is 100% local too. The other browser tools need a connection.
Mac or Windows?
The browser tools run in any modern browser on any OS. The plugins differ: Airchain is VST3 / AU for macOS only, SubPress ships VST3 / AU for macOS and Windows, and the Spektra desktop app runs on macOS and Windows.
Built for Engineers, by an Engineer
Why this exists.
A decade running sound for festivals and tours taught me three things — and the platform is the answer to all of them.
1.Stage time is sacred
Tools should disappear into the workflow. No login walls when you need a setlist NOW. Free tools work after a 30-second signup. Premium tools verify instantly against Gumroad.
2.Crews share, not screen-share
Show Clock has a master / viewer model: stage manager runs the timer, crew opens a share link on any phone — sync in three seconds, no app, no install.
3.Your data stays yours
No tracking cookies. No analytics. No data brokers. Only technically-necessary session cookies for login. Cancel anytime, your account hard-deletes — no recovery, no “soft delete.”
4.Buy a tool, not a subscription
Premium tools are Gumroad one-time purchases. No recurring billing, no “annual seats,” no “you cancelled so your data is locked.” Your license, your tool, forever.
