New since September: two new tools — Debrief+, the after-show debrief your team and your client answer on their own links, written up by AI for you to edit and send, and Ideas+, the company's library of every opener, speaker and activation worth remembering. QSheet+ now calls the show: the Show Caller presses GO and every department follows live, down to the crew's phones — and any cell can be coloured and formatted. Onsite+ runs on an iPad on site, ticking the schedule off as it happens. One search box across every tool, files on schedule items and people, a log of calls and notes on every person, and your logo on every link you share. One install, one login, one database. Best in Google Chrome.
What's inside
Enter a show once. Enter a person once. Every tool sees them.
Pre-production
One task board per show — the monday.com replacement built for event teams.
Four statuses and nothing you don't need. Tasks with several owners, files, due times and a personal calendar feed, by category or by month; clients get a link showing only what needs them. The Action Inbox turns Fathom meetings, Plaud recordings, email and pasted notes into tasks you approve, and a 6:30 morning brief says what's slipping. Every board carries Meeting Agendas, Important Links and, on a show, Hotel and Project Documents: drop in everything the hotel sends and AI reads each one — the group contract into the terms that run the show.
The company's idea library — every opener, speaker and activation worth remembering.
Openers, entertainment, speakers, engagement, branding, teambuilding, activations: each idea with the notes, videos, prices, files and vendor behind it, who's looking into it, and which shows considered it, did it or passed. Videos play right on the page, and a monday.com board comes across in one import, notes and all.
Crew availability and rates.
Stop chasing crew by text. A few clicks sends each person an email; they tap Available / Tentative / Unavailable, quote rates, and sign your confidentiality agreement; your dashboard fills in live. Every email shows whether it arrived — and if a show falls through, one click thanks and releases everyone holding the dates.
Production budgeting.
Budgets and wrap reports on the working grid producers already know: Qty × Hrs × Unit Cost, markup tiers, round-up, a cost override for a vendor's flat quote and an investment override for what the client pays, projected profit and margins. Import last year's budget from Excel (old .xls included), export Internal and Client workbooks with live formulas. Kept in a deliberately sealed compartment — the rest of the suite can't see your numbers, and clients see prices, never costs.
Venue branding from opportunity to installed.
Read a venue's branding packet with AI, build the opportunity board, track every wall and window to installed — and generate client review pages and vendor packets that never leak your costs. Still in beta, so early users will have the most say in where it goes.
Show week
The living show overview your team carries onsite.
Who's who with headshots, agenda, flights, rooming, weather, venue maps, the production schedule and the live run of show — two share links, one for your client and one for your team. Print or download any section straight from the link.
Run-of-show sheets for stage management.
Build the minute-by-minute show plan, day by day, item by item. Retime one item and everything below cascades, just like a real show doc; drag a row and the times re-flow around it; colour and format any cell. Then call the show from it: the Show Caller presses GO and every department follows live — on a laptop, an iPad, or the crew's phones from a link — with standby, time left and how far ahead or behind you're running, in a dark mode made for a dark ballroom. Afterwards, planned vs actual for every cue. Reference tabs, a print preview with both logos, and share links that never drift.
Production scheduling and ops.
Rooms, days, sessions, breaks — plus a party trick: paste a contract or BEO and AI drafts the schedule for you. Or build it in the Excel template, with drop-downs and tick columns for every department, and import it once. On site, open it on an iPad and tick items off as they happen, the whole team seeing the same ticks; attach the PDF or picture each item needs. Share it with the team, filtered by room, type and department.
Live event Q&A and audience voting.
The crowd submits and upvotes questions from their phones; you moderate; the big screen — or your emcee's phone — shows the top questions. Telegram alerts keep the right people in the loop.
After the show
Brandable forms and surveys — the SurveyMonkey / Typeform replacement.
Registration forms, speaker intake, post-event feedback — on a page carrying your client's logo, colors and a header image, password-gated when it should be. Multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdowns, rating scales with Net Promoter Score, short and long answers, "Other" write-ins, headings, notes and images; simple branching ("only show this when…"). A results page with bars, averages and click-to-filter, personal invitation links with one-click reminders, four starter templates, and responses on screen, as CSV, and by email as they land.
The after-show debrief — what went well and what to do better, from everyone.
A thoughts board through the show, then a short private form for your team and another for your client — what went well and what to improve, area by area — each person on their own link, with a reminder the day before it's due. AI writes the team and client debriefs from what people actually said; you edit and send. Ask a follow-up on any point, and send the improvements straight into next year's plan.
Bonus
Split trip costs with friends — or the crew.
Everyone gets a personal link, adds what they paid, and the balances settle in the fewest possible payments. Equal or exact splits, optional password, no accounts for anyone. Deliberately free-standing: it never touches your shows or your people, so it's just as happy running a ski weekend as a crew dinner.
▧ Budget+ is intentionally data-isolated from the production spine; TripSplit+ stands entirely on its own.
One spine
The suite shares two lists — productions and people. Everything hangs off them.
Confidential by design
You own it
BlackSheep+ isn't a subscription to somebody else's cloud. You get the code, and it runs on accounts you control.
Why it matters
The Founder's Program
BlackSheep+ is launching as a Founder's Version — the complete, working suite we run our own shows on. Anyone can buy it today. Ten production companies get it free instead, in exchange for running it on real shows and telling us what they find. It's a trade, not a queue.
Upgrades that respect your changes
Because you own your copy, you may have customized it. So the upgrade to the Final Version ships as a document your AI assistant works from: it reviews the changes you've made first, then applies the upgrade around them — instead of bulldozing your work with a blind update.

The subscription math
Renting this capability tool-by-tool, at published prices:
| Replaces | Covered by | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Audience Q&A & polling (e.g. Slido, Professional) | StagePulse+ | $900 / yr |
| Run-of-show software (e.g. Rundown Studio, Shoflo) | QSheet+ | $600–1,000+ / yr |
| Crew scheduling (e.g. LASSO — quoted per crew member, per month) | Availability+ | $1,000+ / yr |
| Planning seats for the team, meeting notes to tasks, contract reading (e.g. monday.com, 10 seats) | EventPlan+, Ideas+ & ShowBrief+ | $1,400+ / yr |
| Forms, surveys & post-show debriefs (e.g. SurveyMonkey Team, Typeform) | Survey+ & Debrief+ | $400–900 / yr |
| A typical stack, every year, before your team grows | $4,300+ / yr | |
| BlackSheep+ — all of it, unlimited seats | $2,999 once — $1,999 for a limited time | |
Subscription pricing changes constantly — these figures reflect the vendors' published prices when BlackSheep+ was developed (August 2026: slido.com, rundownstudio.app, shoflo.tv, lasso.io, monday.com, surveymonkey.com, typeform.com) and should be close to current. Most bill annually, per seat or per crew member, and rise as you grow. BlackSheep+ pays for itself against the first year of a typical stack, and every year after that costs $0.
Questions
No. The walkthrough assumes you've never touched a database, goes one click at a time, and tells you what you should see at each step — about an hour start to finish. The code also ships with a briefing file that instantly teaches any AI assistant (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor…) how BlackSheep+ works, so a ~$20/month assistant can set it up with you, fix anything, and make custom changes on request.
In your own Supabase project — a real Postgres database on an account you own, in your name, with your password. BlackSheep never has access to it.
By design first: your database refuses every request unless your own app makes it; nobody can sign themselves up — an admin invites each person and decides what they can do; every link for crew, clients and audiences is a long random code stored scrambled, with expiry and one-click revoke; client pages are built from rules that cannot show a cost; pasted text is cleaned; uploads sit in private storage behind links that expire in minutes; keys live only in your hosting settings, and every release is built by a script that refuses to ship one. Each release also passes a dependency audit and a secret scan. Your copy comes with a plain-words Security guide and a ten-minute routine — GitHub's free watchdog that warns you of any library problem and hands you the fix, two-factor sign-in on the three accounts that are your app, and backups — plus a monthly check your AI helper runs for you.
Google Chrome. BlackSheep+ is built and tested in Chrome, on Mac and Windows. Safari, Edge and Firefox will open it, but printing (a run of show from Safari loses the show header on every page after the first) and a few other details are Chrome-first. Chrome is free; install it on every computer that will use the suite. The setup websites — GitHub, Supabase, Netlify — don't mind which browser you use.
Typically nothing. Netlify and Supabase free tiers comfortably cover a production company's usage; the optional AI features (contract and hotel-document reading, venue packet reading, the written debrief) use your own Anthropic API key, billed by usage. And if your business ever grows into the paid tiers of those services, keep the math in view: you'd be paying a modest infrastructure bill for tools serving your whole team — the savings against per-seat software subscriptions should stay dramatically larger than the recurring investment.
Yes — that's the point of the share links. Crew answer availability and the debrief by email link and follow a called show from their phones, clients open password-protected review pages and briefs, audiences join Q&A by scanning a code. Only your internal team needs logins.
The Founder's Version is the complete suite as it runs today — the same one anyone can buy. Ten companies get it free in exchange for using it on real shows and sending feedback — both what's wrong and what they changed in their own copy to make it fit their shows. Founder feedback drives the Final Version, and founders upgrade to it. Upgrades arrive as a document your AI assistant works from, so any customizations you've made are reviewed and preserved, not overwritten.
Email mark@blacksheep-productions.com and we'll sort out your upgrade path to the full suite.
Nothing, for you. The code is on your GitHub, the data is in your database, and the license check is built to fail open. Your copy keeps working.
