Free to use in Read-Only Mode

QLab Remote is a powerful tool that you can use for free! In Read-Only Mode, your team can safely follow along with a workspace in real time, edit notes, and flag cues as you sit in tech rehearsal without worrying about accidental changes.

All the control you need from the palm of your hand

With the QLab Remote “Show Control & Editing” in-app purchase, you can send commands to QLab, run cues, move the playhead, open cue inspectors, edit cue parameters like audio input and output crosspoints, adjust video surface geometry, and more! Refine your design from the audience.

Light Tools

With QLab Remote’s “Light Tools”, you can enter light commands to change levels, and record and update cues with the Light Keypad — a tool designed specifically for interacting with QLab’s Light Dashboard. The Instrument Check tool makes it effortless to run through all of your lights to ensure everything is working correctly.

Adaptable layout

QLab Remote is supported on all device sizes — from the iPhone SE all the way to the largest iPad, with full support for iPad Split View! Attach a keyboard and navigate with shortcuts familiar to QLab power users or use the intuitive touch interface to navigate your workspace.

Justino Z., App Store Review

Everything that I needed in a Show Remote! Every performance in a new venue I can video map the surfaces and adjust audio levels without having to go into the booth and control the main computer! I can do it from the remote, walking around the stage! This is incredible! Thank you thank you thank you! I may be a magician but you guys created real magic!
