HogScribe
Hog cue notes, OSC/MSC tracking, cue-list monitoring
HogScribe is a lightweight desktop companion for ETC Hog 4/5 consoles that helps programmers and lighting designers view live cue list information and add notes in one place. It imports Hog XML show data, tracks the current cue and list via OSC or MSC, and lets you add organised time and cue data-stamped show notes with optional colour tags, filtering, and CSV export.
It also includes a simple local iPad/iPhone sheet viewer, making it easy to follow cues during playback. Note: for Hog OS v5.01 OSC out from the console is unsupported, however MSC still works. This software has been tested with macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 only.
