Changelog

Updated August 9, 2026 · load·in, built and shipped by one person

This page lists what actually shipped, in plain language, newest first. No marketing copy, no padding a slow month — if nothing meaningful changed, no entry gets added. Version numbers below match the App Store record; the web app at goforshow.io/loadin updates on the same schedule.

The stage-plot side of the app got more capable and the mobile editor got tighter.

  • Dense stage plots fit the available canvas better and keep touch targets usable on iPhone and iPad.
  • The interactive 3D stage now shows proportioned equipment shapes instead of placeholder boxes, with clearer depth and more reliable selection on a phone or tablet.
  • Each channel got a Strip view — Filter, EQ, Gate, and Comp — with modelled curves and instrument presets. The export screen states exactly what each console format includes; the Strip is not a promise that every value travels to every desk.
  • For Behringer X32/M32, edits made after importing an existing scene patch into that scene's own data instead of rebuilding it from a template. Allen & Heath dLive archive version 14 uses the same patch-in-place approach for a defined set of channel, filter, EQ, dynamics, and aux fields.
  • Added export support for five DAW session formats: Reaper, Ableton Live, Adobe Audition, Cubase/Nuendo, and Ardour/Mixbus — each pre-labelled from the input list.
  • Saved .show project files can now be password-protected for shows with sensitive information.
  • load·in Pro moved to a one-time $99 purchase with no subscription and no recurring charge. Anyone who already owns Pro keeps it.

A full pass through every tab, every dialog, and every language, driven by real first-hour phone testing.

  • Fixed the stage canvas drifting left or right on touch devices.
  • Adding several of the same instrument no longer stacks them invisibly on top of each other.
  • Typing an existing channel's name in search and hitting enter selects that channel instead of quietly creating a duplicate.
  • The one-tap quick-add row is back on phones as a strip you can swipe through.
  • Blackout mode survives a restart, and nothing in it renders white-on-white anymore.
  • Roughly two dozen new messages translated across all ten in-app languages, including export and import errors.
  • Full keyboard support: the parts palette is keyboard-operable and dialogs return focus where you left off.
  • Faster: group drag and resize stopped redrawing on every pixel of movement, and the app ships noticeably less code at startup.

Made the app fast and dependable to actually use — on a phone in the back of a bus and on a laptop alike.

  • Smoother channel editing: add, delete, and reorder without fighting the screen. One menu — long-press on a phone, right-click on a laptop — handles rename, color, stereo pairing, processing badges, and delete.
  • Every export now opens the phone's own share sheet, so a file can go straight to the desk or a laptop over AirDrop instead of wrestling a USB cable off an iPhone.
  • Offline native scene export started working for Yamaha CL/QL and Allen & Heath dLive with no connection required. Superseded: console files are now built server-side on every platform, so importing or exporting a desk file needs a connection. Plot editing and .show projects still work offline.
  • The export screen began showing each desk's real, current status before committing to a file — verified, names-only, or still needing confirmation at the desk — so nothing is rounded up.

The first resubmission after the initial launch build. Expanded native console file support beyond the original desk and added the first DAW session template exports.

First public release: build a stage plot, get an auto-generated input list from it, and export CSV or PDF.

What to expect going forward

I'm one person building this around actual touring work, not a team on a release train. This page gets a new entry whenever something user-facing actually ships — no fixed schedule, and no promised cadence I can't keep. If a stretch looks quiet here, check the date at the top: that's the last time I touched it, not a guess.
