Showbridge · for Mac
Your whole show in one window
For system engineers, FOH and production. Showbridge keeps an eye on your Dante network, clock, wireless mics, amplifiers and rundown, with each network interface kept separate. Listen in on any mic with one click, on your Mac or wirelessly on your iPad.
You're on your phone. Showbridge runs on your Mac.
Showbridge is for Mac: it runs on macOS 13 or later, not on this computer. Send yourself the link for your Mac, or try it in your browser right here.
Your license key arrives by email, so you can buy now and install Showbridge on your Mac later.
Showbridge runs on a Mac, not on a tablet. Download it on your Mac; once it runs, you can listen in on any mic wirelessly from your iPad.
One-time, no subscription · 2 Macs · macOS 13 or later · Apple silicon and Intel
Features
Built on site, for use on site
No more separate tools for Dante, Shure, Sennheiser, Lake and your rundown. Showbridge shows what matters right now, and warns you when something changes.
- 01Network & Dante, per interfaceEvery network interface strictly separate: primary and secondary, devices, traffic, multicast and the PTP clock. An alert as soon as something drops out.
- 02Wireless & RFShure (ULX-D, Axient) and Sennheiser (EW-DX, Spectera) together: battery, RF, quality and frequency conflicts, sorted by your console names.
- 03Listen in with one clickClick the headphones next to a mic and you hear it. Also wirelessly on your iPad or phone, which helps because Dante doesn't run over Wi-Fi.
- 04Amplifiers & groupsLab.gruppen Lake and L-Acoustics: status, mute, gain and delay, in your own groups with your own names.
- 05MeasurementSPL, RTA, a transfer function with phase and coherence, and an accurate delay graph relative to your main PA.
- 06RundownProductionOS, Rundown Studio or ShoFlo: now and next always in view, with the clock alongside.
- 07Stage timerA countdown with the clock for presenters, on an external display or an iPad on stage. Send messages to the screen without anyone in the room hearing them. Receives OSC from QLab, Companion or your console, and can send OSC triggers, for example to fire a QLab cue when the time runs out.
- 08Share the show & chatSave your show and open it again. Colleagues on the same network join the same show automatically, with chat.
- 09Show dashboardThe key information from all your equipment on one screen, per area, also as a separate window or on your phone.
- 10Dante routingPatching and the wire view through Dante Domain Manager or Dante Director, so you don't need Dante Controller open alongside it.

Install
Install and activate
It takes about five minutes. Showbridge will soon be signed by Apple; until then, there is one extra step.
- 01
Download and open the DMG
Drag Showbridge into your Applications folder.
- 02
Remove the download flag
For apps from outside the App Store that Apple hasn't signed yet, macOS says they are “damaged”. They aren't. Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities), paste this line and press Return:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Showbridge.appThis only removes Showbridge's “downloaded from the internet” flag. Nothing else on your Mac is changed.
- 03
Open Showbridge and allow access
Allow “Local Network” (needed to find Dante, Shure and amplifiers) and “Microphone” if you want to listen in.
- 04
Enter your license key
Settings → License → paste your key (SB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) → Activate. Online once, then it works offline. No key yet? Then you get everything free for 14 days; after that, Showbridge locks until you activate one.
FAQ
Questions
How many Macs does one key work on?
On 2 Macs at the same time. New laptop? Deactivate the key on the old Mac (Settings → License) and activate it on the new one.
Do I need internet during the show?
No. Activation happens online once; after that, Showbridge works fully offline. Every now and then the app checks the license when there happens to be an internet connection.
Does it work with Dante Virtual Soundcard?
Yes. Listening in works with any audio input on your Mac: Dante Virtual Soundcard, Dante Via, or an audio interface the receiver is connected to.
What do I need for Dante routing?
Patching goes through the API of Dante Domain Manager (1.5 or later) or Dante Director. Monitoring and the read-only wire view also work without Dante Domain Manager or Dante Director.
Lost your key?
Right after you pay, we email it to the address you entered at checkout, with the subject "Your Showbridge license key". Can't find it anymore? Email us from the address you paid with, and we'll send it again.
Do I get an invoice?
Yes. The email with your key links to your invoice and receipt, with the VAT details; download them within 30 days, or ask us for a new copy later. If you're buying for a business, enter your company name and VAT number at checkout.
