OSCAR (Create with OSCAR)

OSCAR runs on the computer that drives the show (Windows, macOS, Linux or a Raspberry Pi). You design the interface in a visual editor in the browser, press Publish, and every phone and tablet on the network opens it by scanning a QR code, in the browser it already has. Every touch goes out from the computer as OSC, MIDI, or DMX over Art-Net, sACN or a USB DMX interface, and controls follow OSC and MIDI coming back, so every screen shows the real state of the show.

It works with Resolume, TouchDesigner, QLab, Ableton Live and other DAWs, lighting consoles and nodes, and anything else that speaks OSC or MIDI. Nineteen templates ship with it, from a lighting console and an audio mixer to a QLab stage manager's desk and a Resolume video desk. Many devices can share one interface and stay in sync, and editing can be locked for a show while everyone keeps using the controls. A network log shows everything sent and received.

AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI) can connect over MCP to read the setup and draft an interface for you to check; they never control the show. A free Android app exists for people who prefer one, with pinning for kiosks.

OSCAR is open source under the BSD 3-Clause licence. OSCAR Pro, an optional subscription, adds public links that work from anywhere, scheduled actions and a status page; nothing in the free app depends on it.
