Helm App

What this does: Helm Cloud App at app.helm.show holds the production: files, tracks, tasks, calendar, team and a public page. Helm Cues and Helm DJ pair with it and sync their show data up. The team reviews the show in a browser.

Helm App never plays audio, sends timecode or MIDI. Show control stays on the desktop. The cloud is for organising, reviewing, commenting and sharing.

  • Show callers / operators — push the Cues show to the cloud, review tracks and cue lists with waveforms in the browser, drop timestamped comments for the team.
  • Production managers — one project per show: files and folders, a task tracker, a calendar, team roles.
  • The wider team and clients — a public page per project (password optional) with setlists, audio previews, media and documents. No Helm account needed.

for anyone with the link
  • The desktop app pairs once with your account (how pairing works) and then pushes its project data and media files to the cloud.
  • The cloud shows tracks, cues and media read-only, and adds comments, tasks, calendar and team.
  • Setlists built in the browser sync down to Cues on its next sync.
  • The public page is a curated, read-only view of the project that you control block by block.

After signing in you land on Projects. The left sidebar shows your recent projects plus a Downloads entry. Opening a project adds a project section to the sidebar: Overview, Assets, Calendar, Tasks, Team, Settings, and a Public page link that opens the live public view in a new tab.

Your account page (avatar, top right) manages licences, beta applications, and connected devices — every desktop app paired to your account, with last-seen times and a revoke button.
