The Mac host view

Everything you need for the night in one window.

Pick a playlist, push Start Game, play clips, watch the claims come in. The venue display mirrors the middle pane only, so your controls stay private.

Why it works

Built for the room, not the demo.

  • Works offline

    Once your music and rounds are set up at home, the Mac runs the entire night without an internet connection.

  • Uses your own music

    Drop in the videos you already own. BeatsBingo doesn’t stream or lock you into someone else’s library.

  • Print or network cards

    Print paper cards in advance or let players join on their phones over the venue’s wifi. Or both, in the same round.

  • 3×3, 4×4 & 5×5 grids

    Quick fillers or full-length rounds. Pick the grid size that fits the slot you’ve got.

  • Multi-window display

    Keep the host controls private on your Mac and push a separate display to the venue’s big screen.

  • Mac only

    Built on Mac, for Mac. macOS 14 Sonoma and Apple Silicon. No compromises for cross-platform.

Pricing

Simple, monthly, or a year up front.

7-day free trial included — no payment needed to start.

System requirements

Built to run on a Mac natively.

  • macOS 14 Sonoma or later
  • Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3 or later. Intel Macs not supported.

Three ways to play

Host on Mac. Players on their phones. Or paper. Or all three.

Every venue is different. BeatsBingo works whether your punters are glued to their phones, whether the pub just has a printer and nothing else, or whether the crowd is a bit of both.

Mac host You run the show on your Mac. Controls stay private, the venue screen mirrors the playback only.
Networked device Players join by PIN on their phones over your wifi. Tap along, claim a line, the host sees it instantly.
Printed paper Works anywhere. No wifi, no phones, no app install — just print, mark, and shout “LINE!”.
FAQ

The questions we keep getting.

  • Does it really work offline?

    Yes. Once your music and rounds are set up at home on your Mac, BeatsBingo runs the night without an internet connection. You only need wifi if you want players to join on their phones over the local network.

  • What about music licensing?

    You bring the music, so licensing works the same way it does for any pub or venue playing music — your existing PRS/PPL licences cover it. BeatsBingo doesn't stream or distribute music on your behalf.

  • Why is it Mac only?

    Because that's what it was built on, and the multi-window host setup lives comfortably inside macOS. Cross-platform is a future problem — not today's.

  • Can I try before I buy?

    Yes — a 7-day free trial. No payment details needed to start. Download from the Mac App Store and have a play.
