EdiTour on Your Phone: the Full Show Editor, Now Mobile

Until this release, opening EdiTour on a phone got you a polite wall: built for the big screen. That wall is gone. Sign in on your phone today and you get the real editor. The same beat-locked timeline, the same live show your team sees on desktop, reshaped for a screen you can hold in one hand.

This is the headline feature of EdiTour v0.1.90, and it changes where show design can happen: on the tour bus, side of stage, at FOH during changeover, or in the hotel lobby the night before load-in.

Why mobile mattered more than we planned

EdiTour is a collaborative show design platform. Lighting, lasers, visuals, pyro, and SFX share one timeline. And collaboration doesn't wait for a laptop. The moment a cue change comes up in conversation, someone reaches for their phone.

Before v0.1.90, that moment went one of two ways: a note-to-self to fix it later ("later" is dangerous on show day), or a text to whoever had a laptop open. Both are exactly the coordination lag EdiTour exists to remove. So the phone had to become a first-class editor, not a viewer.

What you can do from your phone now

Ride the full timeline. Pinch to zoom, flick to scroll, and jump anywhere with a scrubbable mini-map. The beat grid, department lanes, and playhead behave exactly like desktop, because it is the desktop timeline, not a stripped-down copy.

Create and edit cues with your thumb. Long-press an empty spot on a lane and drag to create a cue. Hold an existing cue to pick it up and move it. Drag its edges to resize. Every edit lands beat-locked, and every collaborator sees it live.

Inspect and fine-tune in a bottom sheet. Tap a cue and a bottom-sheet inspector slides up with its timing, department, colors, and notes. Thumb-reachable, no tiny desktop panels.

Run the whole show, not just the timeline. A redesigned sidebar carries your song library and departments, and a Show actions menu puts markers, crew, sharing, timecode, and undo within reach. From sign-in through onboarding, the entire app fits your screen.

Make it feel like an app. Add EdiTour to your Home Screen (Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone) and it opens full-screen. No address bar, no tabs, just your show.

This release is portrait-first; landscape is on the roadmap.

Built for weak venue Wi-Fi, too

Mobile editing is only useful if playback holds up on venue and bus connections, so v0.1.90 also reworked how audio reaches your device. Songs now stream instead of downloading whole files, and new uploads get a compact playback copy prepared behind the scenes. Songs are ready in moments and switching between them is faster and lighter on memory.

A few other touches that matter most on a phone:

• Upload from the timeline. An empty show now shows an Upload a song button right on the timeline. It opens your file picker, attaches the song to the open show, and shows progress in place.
• Steadier touch playback. Dragging the timeline while a song plays no longer jumps back after you let go, and flick-scrolls glide the way they should.
• Share links that fit your screen. View-only show links now look right on a phone, so anyone can follow along from anywhere.

Invite your crew, no paid plan required on their side

v0.1.90 also opens up sharing from free studios: share your sandbox show as a view-only link or invite a teammate by email, straight from the welcome wizard. Anyone you invite can open the show and follow along live. And free studios now hold three songs instead of one, with a usage meter so you always know where you stand.

Try it in the next thirty seconds

If you're reading this on your phone, you're already holding the demo:

1. Open app.editour.co. The Intro plan is free, no credit card.
2. Upload a track. EdiTour detects the BPM and builds your beat grid automatically.
3. Long-press a lane, drag, and you've placed your first beat-locked cue.

Everything you build on your phone is the same show your team opens on desktop. One timeline, every department, always current.

Full release notes for v0.1.90, including Reaper marker export, department undo, and a stack of playback fixes, are in the changelog.
