Stage Mode HUD Cockpit ​

Cell phones and tablets on stage are notoriously frustrating: screens dim mid-song, bright white backgrounds illuminate the musician's face, and tiny text is unreadable from a mic stand.

BandRoom’s Stage Mode HUD is engineered for pedalboards, keyboard stands, and mic mounts.


Key Stage Mode Features ​

  • Pitch-Black Chassis (#09090b): Zero bright glare. High-contrast brushed champagne (#c5a059), amber, and crisp white typography visible from 4 to 6 feet away.
  • Non-Inverting Hardware Design: Even when BandRoom is running in Silver Hi-Fi Light Mode, Stage Mode strictly remains in pitch black (#09090b) to protect stage ambiance.
  • Screen Wake Lock API (navigator.wakeLock): Automatically keeps your device display active throughout the performance. Your screen will never dim or sleep mid-solo.
  • Live Stage Cockpit Clock & Curfew Stopwatch:
    • Real-time digital clock (22:14:05).
    • Elapsed show stopwatch with 1-tap Start, Pause, and Reset triggers.
    • Dynamic curfew countdown showing remaining performance minutes.

Two Display Modes: Prompter vs. Full Scroll ​

Toggle between display layouts via the top HUD pill:

1. Prompter Mode (1-Song Focus Card) ​

Designed for live performance while singing or playing:

  • Gigantic Song Title: Bold headline visible from distance.
  • Set Progress Counter: e.g. Item 6 of 18 · Set 2.
  • Jumbo Musician Badges: Extra-large callouts for Key (Em), Tempo (128 BPM), Tuning (Drop D), and Lead Vocalist.
  • Prominent Transition Notes: Displays critical cues in bold gold text (e.g. "Direct segue into Chorus riff — No pause").
