The web app

Program the show you can picture.

Lay out every light, movement and sound on a shared timeline. Start with ready-made seasonal effects or create reusable actions in plain language.

01

Add real hardware

Choose your board, add props, and see compatible open connections as you work.

02

Build visually

Place lighting effects, movement and audio exactly where they belong on the timeline.

03

Reuse the good parts

Save actions as editable modules and place them in future props without starting over.

Complexity stays backstage

Your board, pins and wiring stay understandable.

Holiday Prop Lab tracks available connections, explains external modules, and generates wiring guidance for lights, servos, direct-current motors, stepper motors, sensors and sound hardware.

The desktop bridge

From the browser to the Arduino.

The focused desktop app signs into your account, finds a connected board, downloads the project firmware from the cloud, and installs it.
