How it works

Build your rundown.
Run the show.

Add your speakers, set their titles, and advance through cues in real time. Strapline pushes each lower third to OBS via a browser source.

01
Download and launch

Install Strapline on macOS or Windows. Open it before your show. Your cue list is ready to build.

02
Add a browser source in OBS

Point OBS to the local URL Strapline generates. That's your live lower third layer – persistent and always ready.

03
Build your cue list and go

Build your rundown right in the app – or import a CSV. Hit Next to bring each cue on screen. Advance again to clear. That's the whole workflow.


What's included

Built for the people
running the show.

Strapline is designed for freelance AV techs and broadcast operators who need a tool that just works – built by someone who's been in that seat.

Cue-based workflow

Build your rundown in advance. Advance through cues in real time without touching your video software.

OBS browser source

Strapline outputs a live HTML overlay. Drop it into OBS as a browser source and it updates instantly on cue advance.

Choose from bar, box, or pill lower third designs. Set your colors once and every cue uses them. No image editing, no Photoshop.

Desktop app

Native desktop app for macOS and Windows with a lightweight footprint that won't compete with your encode.
