Overview

LuxStage is the professional app for lighting documentation in theatre and events — as a native iOS app and as a web app.

Two apps. One system.

Whether at the mixing desk or on stage – LuxStage is exactly where you are.

LuxStage for iOS

The native SwiftUI app for iPhone and iPad. Fast, responsive and optimised for touch — whether at the mixing desk or on stage.

• Optimised for iPhone & iPad
• Native SwiftUI – no browser required
• Real-time sync with the server
• Offline read mode

LuxStage in the browser

The web application runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, iPad or any other device. The self-hosted server is installed with just two commands, e.g. on a Raspberry Pi 4 or your own VPS.

Quick start in 10 minutes

After installation — this order gets you to your first show fastest:

1. Create a venue template

Venue template — define the channel structure once (via CSV import or manually), available immediately for every new production. Optional: makes sense right after self-hosting installation, before creating the first show.

2. Create a show

Shows — create a new show and optionally assign it a venue template. Channel structure and floor plan are inherited automatically.

3. Plan & focus channels

Import from EOS or fill in channels manually. The iOS app and web app are in sync – all lighting technicians always see the same state.

4. Export & archive

Export as PDF for printing, archive the show once done — with a full version history for later.
