Frenchworks

Design software that works.

We build focused tools for people with a real job to do — made by someone who's stood in the booth, not just looked at it.

01

Built from the inside

Our software starts with problems we've hit ourselves, in real venues, on real shows.

02

Does one job brilliantly

No bloat, no feature soup. Each product is shaped around the person using it and the moment they're in.

03

Yours, offline

Your work lives on your machine. Our tools keep running when the wifi doesn't.

Mark up your script.
Call your show from it.

Cue marking software for theatre. Drop every cue on the word it fires on, and the cue sheet writes itself. Then call the show from the same book.
