Made for real gigs
Not another generic media player.
PlayR grew out of performing several nights a week: backing tracks in one app, video in another, lighting commands somewhere else, and break music still needing separate attention.
It is built around the job itself — prepare the show, press play and trust the system on stage, including the music between sets.
Who PlayR is for
One focused system for working performers.
Tribute acts

Questions
Frequently asked.
What is Intermission Music?
It is a separate break-music system inside PlayR, with its own playlists, smooth crossfades, loudness control, BPM tools, Talk Over and MIDI or lighting cues. It does not interfere with the main show playlist.
Is PlayR a subscription?
No. The planned commercial licence is a one-time purchase.
How many devices can I use?
One named customer may activate PlayR on up to three devices in any combination of Windows, macOS and Android.
Will PlayR work without internet during a show?
Yes. A connection is expected for initial activation and occasional licence validation, but normal playback is designed for offline use.
Does it replace my lighting or audio software?
PlayR is the show playback and automation hub. It can send MIDI and lighting commands to compatible external software and equipment while playing tracks.
Is PlayR available now?
PlayR is in release preparation. A small beta with working performers comes before public sales.
