About

I'm Jeffrey Bertuch. I make SpotDeck. It started with a specific problem: my father programs video for live shows, and he constantly needs to replay a specific stretch of a track — loop a musical moment — while he times video to it. The desktop tools for that are clumsy, so I built him a handheld one.

SpotDeck is that tool, generalized. Import a track, mark the spots that matter with typed, color-coded cues, and tap to replay any section — with a loop mode for running the same moment hands-free. It's an iPad app because the iPad is what's on the desk at front-of-house, and it's fully on-device because a show is no place to depend on the network.

He's the proving ground; the aim is a tool that fits the wider AV, theater, event, and worship world. If you work in that world and SpotDeck is missing something you need, tell me.

SpotDeck is shipped by Upload Studio LLC. The app and this site are written by me. Try the beta if you'd like to shape what ships.
