Never in the dark about what your theatre owns.

GhostLight is the inventory app made for community theatre. Catalogue every prop, costume and set piece, tag your storage, and find anything in seconds.

Free to start. No card, no catch. Built by a theatre volunteer, for theatre groups.

“A ghost light is the single bulb every theatre leaves burning on a dark, empty stage — so no one is ever left in the dark.”

We borrowed the idea. Your props store deserves the same.
Sound familiar?

Every group knows this pain.

“Didn't we already own one of these?”
You did. It's in a tub behind the flats. You buy another anyway.
“Where's the top hat from the panto?”
Nobody knows. It's opening week. The search party assembles.
“Who took the good chairs?”
The spreadsheet says twelve. There are seven. It was last updated in 2021.
“Has anyone got a Victorian chaise?”
The group down the road does — you just have no way of knowing.
What it does

Your whole inventory, in your pocket.

Simple enough that most volunteers pick it up fast — with quick guides and short how-to videos for whenever you want a hand.

Catalogue everything

Props, costumes, set, tools, furniture — with photos, condition, location and who it belongs to.

Tag & scan

Print a QR code for any item and stick it on. Scan with your phone to pull it straight up.

Check in & out

Know what's on loan, on stage, or off to the dry cleaner — and exactly who has it.

Everyone you invite

Bring in whoever you like — and give a wardrobe manager the run of Costumes without the keys to everything.

Find it in seconds

Search by name, show or location. The pre-opening scramble becomes a ten-second look-up.

Works backstage

Installs to your phone like an app. Dark wings, dodgy signal, one hand free — still works.

Better together

Borrow instead of buy.

Connect with theatres you trust and search each other's catalogues. Find the chaise, the throne, the crown you need — read-only, so nothing changes hands until you say so. It's how a whole region stops buying five of everything.
