Your work, saved. Without you remembering.
ShowSave quietly presses Save in the apps you choose, on a short repeating timer, while you work. No keystroke to remember. No habit to build. Just your latest work on disk — ready the moment an app crashes.
THE PROBLEM
The save you meant to do.
You build a cue. You tweak a session. You fix the show document — and you mean to hit Save, but the next thing is already happening. Then the app crashes, or freezes, or quits without warning, and the last ten minutes are gone. Not because you forgot — because remembering to save, every few minutes, for hours, while you run a show, was never a reasonable thing to ask of anyone.
WHAT SHOWSAVE DOES
It presses Save, so you don’t have to.
ShowSave lives in the menu bar. Give it a short list of apps: your cue software, your DAW, your show document. It sends Save on a repeating timer while you work in each one. By default it presses the app’s own File > Save menu item through Accessibility, so nothing is typed and your cursor stays put. An app that needs it can be switched to a keystroke instead, ⌘S or a custom one, per app. It doesn’t reach inside the app or use private hooks. And it only fires when you’re actually in a document, so a save never lands in a dialog or a save panel.
HOW IT WORKS
Quiet, careful, and honest.
01
Saves on a timer
Every few seconds, in the apps you pick. The default is every 5 seconds. Your latest work is always on disk.
02
Only in your document
It checks you’re in a real document window before it fires. In a dialog, a menu or a save panel, it holds off, so a save never lands in the wrong place.
03
Presses Save itself
It presses the app’s own File > Save through Accessibility: no keystroke, no internal hooks, no reading your files. Apps that need a key command can use one instead.
04
Silent, always
There are no audio paths in ShowSave at all. It never beeps, never chimes — nothing through the PA, ever.
05
Honest status
The menu-bar icon tells you the truth: protecting, saving, paused, or unable to help. If Accessibility gets revoked mid-show, it goes red rather than pretend it’s still saving.
06
Per-app control
Each app gets its own interval, its own save method and command, its own pause switch. Set it once and forget it.
ShowSave changes nothing on your Mac permanently, and never needs the network at show time.
HONEST STATUS
It tells you when it can’t help.
ShowSave shows you the truth about what it’s doing. “Last saved 10:57:32” is when it sent the Save. If Accessibility is off, the icon turns red and says so plainly, rather than showing green over nothing. An honest “can’t protect this” beats a false sense of safety every time.
QUIET BY DESIGN
It stays out of your way.
ShowSave never reaches into your app, never opens your files, never makes a sound. It only saves when you’re truly in a document, so it won’t fire into a menu or a panel. And it won’t let you quit by accident mid-show — if it’s actively protecting apps, it asks first. Set it running and forget it’s there. That’s the point.
WHO USES SHOWSAVE
Built for whoever runs the show.
Whatever software runs your show, ShowSave keeps its work on disk.
Live Sound Engineers
Your session took all day to build. ShowSave keeps it saved.
Video Operators
A frozen app shouldn’t cost you the cue list. It won’t.
AV Technicians
The show document, saved every few seconds — without a thought.
Broadcast Engineers
You don’t get a second take. Neither does your last save.
WHY SHOWSAVE
Built to be impossible to trip over.
Purpose-built for live-show work — not a macro you rigged or a habit you’re hoping holds. ShowSave does one job: pressing Save in the apps you choose, quietly, on a timer, only while you’re in them. Honest about what it’s protecting. Silent at the worst moment. One job, done under pressure.
