GLOVE BOX 

GloveBox is a simple show-timing application designed for live entertainment. It gives you a clear wall clock and stopwatch alongside an event log, allowing you to record the start of a show, stops, resets and any number of markers during a performance. Every event is automatically logged with both the real-world clock time and the elapsed show time, giving you an accurate record of what happened and when.

​

GloveBox can be controlled locally or remotely using OSC (Open Sound Control), making it easy to integrate with QLab or another show-control system. By default GloveBox listens for OSC on UDP port 45683, although the port can be changed from within the application. Simple commands including /start, /stop, /reset, /clear and /mark can control the timer without needing to interact with the GloveBox window. Markers can also be given numbers or names, so commands such as /mark 5, /mark "Interval" or /mark 5 "Act 2" can create useful entries automatically as the show runs.

​

The event log can be edited during or after the performance and exported as a CSV file. GloveBox also calculates the Total Running Time of the show, including intervals and pauses, alongside the Total Playing Time, which records only the periods when the stopwatch was actually running. Keyboard shortcuts, Always On Top mode, adjustable window opacity and automatic state saving make GloveBox a small, unobtrusive utility that can be left running alongside the rest of your show-control software.
