load·in turns instrument placement into a channel list, then writes a native file your desk actually reads — so the names on your scribble strips came from your plot, not a second pass of typing at 9am load-in.
Core plot editing and local .show projects work offline once cached. No sign-in required to try it.
Console files are handled conservatively. Supported same-console round-trips start from the imported source and patch only the fields identified in the export preview. Unedited source data is preserved by the tested workflow, and unrecognized structures are refused. Cross-desk generation starts from a supported target template and does not imply full-setting translation. Always verify the result in the current official editor or on the target desk before show use.
Every workflow ships with its own export preview — the exact list of fields it writes, before you write anything to a card. Scope is not identical across desks. Check the preview for the desk in front of you.

Free: X32/M32/X-Air native scene export. Every other workflow ships with Pro. DiGiCo, S6L, and SQ don't have a dedicated page yet — their scope lives on the console support page until they do.
Walk the room and place inputs as you find them — before the drummer's finished loading in.
Lay out the full stage with your hands: drag risers, wedges, and mic stands until the plot matches the rider.
Sit down for the long advance: build the channel list, generate console files, and send the paperwork.
The portable .show project works across the iOS app and the web app. Account-backed features require the applicable purchasing or licensed account.

load·in is built by a working touring FOH engineer — someone who's done the 6am call after a 400-mile drive. Support is a person, not a ticket queue: email support@goforshow.io and it reaches someone who has stood at the console you're asking about.
Build the plot, export the file, verify it in the desk's own editor.
Always open an exported console file in the official editor, or verify it on the target desk, before show use.
