# FRCTL

> A browser-based VJ studio for DJs and visual artists. Audio-reactive effects, custom shaders, live performance decks and exports up to 4K. Free to start.

FRCTL runs in the browser at https://frctl.live/, with a Windows desktop build for Spout and NDI output. DJs use it for cover art, logos, set visuals and social clips; visual artists use it for the same work for hire and for live VJ sets.
