EXPERIMENTAL TOOLS

Beta Builds

This section is for tools that are useful to test, but are still evolving. They may be rough, incomplete, or change shape as we learn what actually earns trust in real workflows.

What Beta Builds means: these tools are separate from the site's trusted core calculators, planners, and lookup tools. They are here for testing, exploration, and iteration. If something is still ambiguous, too rough, or not yet honest enough to sit in the main trusted tools surface, it belongs here instead. Looking for curated software recommendations instead of experimental builds? Browse Cool Tools.
Current Beta Build

Companion Quick Builder

Build Companion control pages faster from supported module-backed systems and function blocks, then export a .companionconfig file for testing in an existing Companion setup.

Experimental Usable for testing Still evolving

Useful when you want to test a faster Companion page-building workflow, but not yet positioned as one of the site's most trusted core tools.

Studio Production Clock

Fullscreen control-room clock and countdown utility for studio and gallery displays. Useful to test, but still too rough and under-validated to sit in the trusted core tools surface.

Experimental Display utility Still evolving

Use this when you want to test a browser-based production clock workflow, but treat it as a beta display utility rather than a finished engineering tool.
