The panel started empty with no examples, so the first thing a new user saw was a form that assumes they already know what OSC, a lifecycle and a template string are. Eight recipes now cover the common integrations plus three that need no external software at all, so the library is useful on a bare laptop. A recipe is not a new kind of object. Installing one posts an ordinary automation and its triggers through the same endpoints the form uses, then opens it in the editor: seeing that it is editable is the point. Every external target defaults to this machine, so a mis-click cannot put traffic on a venue network, and a test asserts that along with the rest of the server's automation contract, since recipes are constants that would otherwise rot silently into something that 400s on install. OSC recipes are hidden in the cloud build, where OSC output is skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LpbLJVVT26tzWkduck1M9H

Simple infrastructure
All the data is distributed over the network, making its distribution and infrastructure flexible and cheap.
With the availability of the docker image, you can also leverage IT infrastructure to make Ontime available online for
your team and clients.
Ontime is made by video engineers and entertainment technicians.
Using Ontime
Getting started
The easiest way to start with Ontime is by leveraging our Cloud service.
This will give you immediate access to running instances of Ontime which are available to share with anyone with an internet connection.
Alternatively, you can run Ontime locally for free by downloading the latest release for your platform or using the docker image, available at Docker Hub
Once installed and running, any device that shares the same network as Ontime will have access to Ontime.
