ShowPilot
Self-hosted light show viewer control server. A drop-in alternative to Remote Falcon for hobbyists who want to run their own infrastructure without relying on a cloud service.
ShowPilot pairs with a Falcon Player (FPP) plugin to let your visitors:

- 📱 Listen to your show audio on their phone via a built-in web player, kept in sync with the show — no app required
