LivePlay vs SeenCue

LivePlay is a free desktop audio playback app for live shows, designed for live sound operators managing cues. Playlists and cart buttons support cue groups, fades, loops, crossfades, and next-cue actions. Cues can route to channels on one or more audio interfaces. Mixing and monitoring tools include audio buses, EQ, gate, compressor, auxiliary sends, output meters, loudness targets, and a master limiter. Playback control works through mouse, touch, keyboard, MIDI, HTTP, and WebSocket. Media can be added by drag-and-drop or YouTube audio import, with waveform display and LTC timecode output. A desktop controller can connect to a local or remote audio server over a network. LivePlay runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is released under AGPL-3.0-only. The Free plan costs nothing with all features and no licence fees, subscriptions, or paywalls. Remote control uses plain HTTP and WebSocket; installers are unsigned and macOS builds are not notarized.

SeenCue is a free cue playback app for churches, ministry events, school theatre, rehearsals, performances, and community events. Users can create multiple projects, each with its own cue tiles, notes, audio assignments, and layout. Tiles can be labeled, color-coded, trimmed to start and end points, assigned audio, and previewed before saving. Playback includes fade in and out, looping, auto-trigger behavior, one-click launch, quick stop, and global project volume. Operators can work in Compact View, Operator Mode, or Fullscreen. Projects and event notes are saved locally. Version 1.0.3 is available as a Windows installer for Windows 10 or 11. The Android app is in active testing and intended for tablets rather than phones. SeenCue is made by El Roi Digital Ministries, which describes itself as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Palacios, Texas. Support and release questions go to [email protected].
