Learn R-Flow

Every app has a full guide: what it does, step-by-step usage, settings reference, pro tips, and honest gotchas. Pick one to dive in.

Getting started

From download to your first show in five steps โ€” each app has its own full guide once you're in.

  1. Install R-Flow

    Grab R-Flow.exe and run it โ€” single file, no installer. Windows SmartScreen may ask once; choose "More info โ†’ Run anyway".

  2. Sign in

    R-Flow asks for your R-Flow account on first launch (create one free on this site). We email you a 6-digit code to confirm it's you โ€” then your purchased apps unlock automatically, or start the free 2-day trial.

  3. Point it at Resolume Arena

    File-based apps like Deck View find your composition folder on their own. For live-control apps (Resolume API, DJ Sync and friends), enable Arena's webserver once: Preferences โ†’ Webserver โ†’ Enable Webserver & REST API.

  4. Run your first app

    Open Deck View โ€” your compositions appear newest-first. Expand one, inspect its decks, and try a setlist reorder with the preview before anything is saved.

  5. Go deeper

    Every app below has a full guide: what it does, step-by-step usage, settings, and honest gotchas.
