LiteBoard

A lighting console that lives in your pocket

Free, phone-friendly control for your QLC+ / Enttec rig โ€” scenes, chases, moving-head patterns, and fixture groups, without fighting QLC+'s scene editor. Runs entirely on your own laptop.

What it does

๐ŸŽ›๏ธ

Scenes & chases

Tap a scene to activate it, tap again to turn it off โ€” anything else already running on the same fixtures is overridden automatically. No manual blackout needed between looks.

๐ŸŒ€

Moving-head patterns

Figure-8, circle, horizontal scan, and focus breathing โ€” built-in movement chases that run independently of color, so a pattern and a look layer instead of fighting each other.

๐ŸŽจ

Fixture groups

Group your uplights, pars, or any set of fixtures and set them all to one color with a tap โ€” never touches dimmer or movement, so it never conflicts with what else is running.

๐Ÿ•น๏ธ

MIDI & tap tempo

Trigger scenes and chases from a MIDI controller, or tap tempo right from your phone โ€” everything stays in sync to one shared clock.

๐ŸŽง

Audio-driven beat detection

Feed it a clean line-level mixer output and it taps tempo for you automatically, reacting to the beat in real time โ€” no more manual tapping along.

๐Ÿค–

AI-authored scenes โ€” even offline

Describe a look in plain English and get a real scene or chase back. Works through Claude Code when you're online, or a local model when you're not โ€” nothing ever costs you an API bill.

What you'll need

LiteBoard is a control surface, not a DMX interface

  • QLC+ (free) already installed and patched to your DMX universe โ€” LiteBoard talks to it over WebSocket and uses it purely as an output box, not for its scene editor.
  • An Enttec-compatible USB DMX interface (or anything QLC+ already supports) connected to your rig.
  • A laptop (Windows or macOS) to run LiteBoard on โ€” the same machine driving QLC+ works great.
  • Your phone, on the same local network, to actually run the show from.

Open source

LiteBoard is free and open source โ€” the whole point is that you (or an AI session) can read and extend it, not just use it as a black box.
