Welcome to ToolsOnAir

Where Innovation Meets Broadcasting Excellence.

Since 2008, ToolsOnAir has been pioneering the integration of macOS and Linux into professional broadcast environments. Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, we deliver cutting-edge ingest and playout solutions that empower TV stations, production facilities, houses of worship, government organizations, and educational institutions worldwide. Our customers range from boutique studios to major broadcasters.

From the beginning, our mission has been simple: bring the Macintosh ease-of-use philosophy to the complex world of broadcasting. What started with Composition Builder, our real-time graphics template creator, quickly evolved into a comprehensive product portfolio:

• just:in mac (2010): Our first capture solution for TV stations.
• just:live and just:play: Flexible playout tools for both live production and 24/7 Master Control automation.
• just:in linux (2017): An enterprise-grade, multichannel recording solution that combines macOS clients with scalable Linux backend technology.
• just:CC: Advanced real-time captioning powered by speech-to-text recognition.
• CORE I/O (2025) - Software Defined Video Server based on Linux

While the idea of running a TV station on a Mac was once met with skepticism, we proved the concept – and today ToolsOnAir solutions are recognized worldwide for their innovation, reliability, versatility, and intuitive workflows.

Our products are built for live broadcast production and continuous 24/7 operation, seamlessly combining video, audio, and graphics while keeping workflows efficient and cost-effective. With flow-based licensing, open integration, and future-ready technology, we ensure our customers remain competitive in a rapidly changing industry.

As a privately owned company, we take pride in personal relationships, agile development, and close customer support.

More than just a technology provider, we see ourselves as partners in your success.
