Intuitive Software

Designer software is straightforward to use and is free – including all future updates. You don’t need a dongle, a specialised toolkit or a coding degree. We offer great flexibility with a single software solution, perfectly complementing the range of hardware. Simple for beginners, but powerful for experts, Designer software gives you the tools you need for your project.

Designed for you

All our software – from Designer 2 to companion applications such as Director – is designed with the same philosophy: making even the most complex projects as simple as possible.

One software

The same Designer software is used to program all Designer systems, regardless of the hardware used. Multiple Designer products work together as a single scalable system, making it easier than ever to program an installation of any size.

Easy for beginners

Our simple graphical user interface with logical tab-by-tab workflow, lets even inexperienced users get to work quickly. Advanced features are automatically hidden until you need them, so you can focus on the task at hand.

Powerful for experts

Designer software is packed with extra features for power users – from Lua scripting to data import/export – to help you squeeze every last drop of performance and flexibility from your hardware.

Get started now

Free to use

The full versions of Designer 2, and Director, are available to download free of charge – no limited trials and no dongle is required to run the software. Built-in simulation means you can even program and preview your lighting offline, without the need for any Designer hardware.

Always improving

We offer regular updates to our software, packed with new features, bug fixes, and minor improvements.
Project files and controllers are easy to upgrade to a new software version, so you can take advantage of the improvements straight away.

Windows and Mac

All Pharos software is available as native applications for all recent versions of both macOS and Windows. An Ethernet connection to the local network of your Pharos hardware is all that is required to get connected – no drivers necessary.
