Showmaker

Showmaker is revolutionizing how you create rundowns for Mosart. Although still in Early Access, it’s now closer than ever to being production-ready. Here's what’s new:

Script support

Write scripts for each story directly within Showmaker, adding a new dimension of editorial control.

Floating stories

Keep your rundown flexible! Stories can now be marked as "floating," making them invisible to Mosart without deleting them.
