Why We Need Your Help

SyncTimer already nails ± 3 ms sync on 30 devices. Your backing lets us:

  1. Harden the Kalman engine for 100‑device marching clusters.

  2. Add sub‑master sharding so clusters stay locked even if Wi‑Fi drops.

  3. Ship a plug‑and‑play OSC bridge for Max/MSP and QLab cues.

Every dollar goes to engineering, server time for test metrics, and Apple/Squarespace fees—no venture fluff.
