Plan de Scènefree tool

A free, browser-based stage plot and patch list tool for live shows. Works offline, installs as a PWA, exports to an open JSON format.

Plan de Scène draws stage plots and builds the patch list and stage rider for a show. It runs entirely in the browser, installs as a PWA, and keeps working offline, so it travels to the venue without depending on venue wifi.

Everything exports to an open JSON format, with no proprietary lock-in: the stage plan you build stays yours, readable by anything willing to parse JSON. A small, free tool, with no pretension; it exists to get a show paperwork-ready and out of the way.

It started as a personal need. I was organising concerts and running sound for them, with several people to keep in sync on gear and stage layout. Figma was the obvious tool and a poor fit, so after enough struggling I built the first version in a few hours, on a Friday evening, for the concert the next day.

It is now built and maintained by an autonomous team of three agents, whom I talk to now and then to steer them toward what I want.
