ONARLY / FAQ
01 / ANSWERS

What teams ask first.

01What is ONARLY?

ONARLY is a modular product ecosystem for radio, broadcast production, editing, music creation, asset management, sport, mobility, commerce and print production. Individual products can be used on their own and become more powerful when connected through the wider ONARLY platform.

02Who is ONARLY for?

ONARLY is being built for creators, radio stations, sports clubs, associations, broadcasters, educational environments, taxi operators, businesses and print shops that need professional workflows without enterprise-sized complexity.

03Do I need every ONARLY product?

No. ONARLY is intentionally modular. Use the products that fit your workflow and add more when they become useful.

04Can ONARLY RADIO work independently?

Yes. RADIO is being designed as a complete production environment in its own right. Connections to other ONARLY products add workflow benefits but should not be a requirement for basic use.

05Can BROADCAST STUDIO work without DIRECTOR?

Yes. BROADCAST STUDIO is a live production product. DIRECTOR adds an integrated post-production workflow, but recordings and media created in BROADCAST STUDIO should remain usable without a DIRECTOR licence.

06What is ONARLY HUB?

HUB is the central ONARLY workspace. It brings product access, search and connected workflows into one starting point. It is included with every ONARLY product — there is no separate HUB subscription.

07What is ONARLY DRIVE?

ONARLY DRIVE is the complete taxi and mobility operating platform. Admin / Dispatch, the ONARLY Driver app, the QabGo customer app and the ONARLY Driver – WP Plugin are all surfaces of DRIVE on one shared backend — not separate platforms.

08What is OPERA?

OPERA is ONARLY's commerce and finance platform: products, inventory, checkout, orders, returns, invoicing, purchasing and accounting. It is in development and runs as a pilot.

09What is ONARLY PRINTBUDDY?

PRINTBUDDY prepares artwork for print production — DTF, DTG, screen printing, vinyl and sublimation — with preflight checks, jobs and cost estimates. A hosted beta for invited print shops is being prepared.

10How does ONARLY price its products?

Per organisation, workspace or business, plus the products you use. Variable usage is charged only where there is a real infrastructure cost, and transaction fees only where ONARLY takes part in payments or bookings. See the Pricing page for the full model.

11What is ONARLY CHANNEL?

CHANNEL is the public-facing destination for a station: a public station page and web player. On-demand media and custom domains are planned.

12Does ONARLY support sports production?

Yes. ONARLY ARENAHUB is the sports platform: team, practice, playbook, match control, film room, scouting, league and highlights. It is never priced per player.

13What sports will ONARLY ARENAHUB support?

The current sport profile is American football. The direction includes football / soccer, handball, hockey, baseball and taekwondo, with an architecture designed to add more sports over time.

14How does ONARLY use AI?

ONARLY uses AI as production assistance. Examples include asset classification today, with sports analysis, metadata assistance, clip discovery and operational support planned.

15Does AI-generated analysis require review?

When a result is uncertain or important, it should remain reviewable by a person. ONARLY's direction is confidence-aware AI rather than pretending every automated result is certain.

16What happens if AI cannot identify an asset?

It should not guess. The asset should be placed in a Needs Review workflow so a person can confirm the correct classification.

17Can I export my media?

ONARLY is being designed around practical media ownership and export workflows. Exact formats depend on the product and implementation stage.

18Can COMPOSER work with other DAWs?

That is part of the product direction. Practical exchange may include consolidated stems, MIDI, tempo information, markers and formats such as DAWproject or AAF where technically appropriate.

19Does ONARLY support remote guests?

Yes. Remote Guest brings a guest's microphone into the RADIO studio and into BROADCAST STUDIO productions from an ordinary browser.

20Can ONARLY be used on tablets?

Tablet workflows are an important part of the platform, particularly for live control and sports production. Individual product support may vary by interface and production requirement.

21Is ONARLY cloud-based?

ONARLY uses connected cloud services while also being designed for selected local-node and self-hosted workflows where production benefits from running close to the equipment.

22Is ONARLY available today?

ONARLY is actively being developed and tested. No ONARLY product has passed a production release yet, so this website labels every product In development or Planned and says what is not available.

23How do I request access?

Use the Beta or Contact page to tell us what type of work you do and which ONARLY products you are interested in.
