Microsoft Store app
- Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit
- 4 GB of memory (8 GB for long scripts and video); about 100 MB of disk space plus your productions
- An internet connection to install, and now and then for the Microsoft Store’s license check. Your productions always open in the free WholeRun Viewer, online or not.
These are for WholeRun. WholeRun GO is a separate app; what it needs is on the WholeRun GO page.
Free WholeRun Viewer, actor tool and web program
People you share with don’t need WholeRun. The free Viewer, each actor’s tool and the web program open in a browser on any computer, tablet or phone:
| Browser | Support | Testing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome (version 110 or later) | Recommended | Tested | Everything, including saving in place, autosave and reopening recent files. |
| Microsoft Edge (version 110 or later) | Recommended | Same engine as Chrome | Everything, as in Chrome. |
| Mozilla Firefox (version 115 or later) | Works with limits | Checked with the Firefox engine | Each save downloads a new copy (no saving in place or autosave); voice dictation isn’t available. WholeRun Viewer works fully. |
| Apple Safari on Mac (version 16.4 or later) | Works with limits | Checked with the Safari engine | Each save downloads a new copy; recording blocking videos may not work; voice dictation isn’t available. WholeRun Viewer works fully, including pinch to zoom on a trackpad. |
| Safari on iPad (iPadOS 16.4 or later) | Works with limits | Checked with the Safari engine at iPad sizes | Tablet mode with pinch and pencil; saving downloads a copy to the Files app. WholeRun Viewer works fully. |
| Phones | Works for looking things up | — | Good for checking the schedule, notes and show night. Draw maps and record blocking on a computer or tablet. The actor tool, Viewer copies, the web program and emailed reports work fully on phones. |

WholeRun is tested automatically before every release.
What else you need
| Screen | 1280 × 720 or larger is best. The side-by-side workspace fits down to about 900 × 560; smaller windows stack the panels. Tablet mode makes controls bigger on touch screens. |
|---|---|
| Script | A PDF with selectable text works best. Scanned PDFs open, but finding characters, captions and relining need text. |
| Printing | Any printer, or save as PDF. |
| Internet | Not needed in the theatre. Used to install and update, for the license check at least once every 7 days, and for optional features you turn on (the AI assistant with an online service, update checks, webmail links). |
