The FloSync Story

In 2007, while I was a student at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, USA, I started building a small piece of software called ArraySync. At the time, it was less of a product and more of a creative experiment. It was a way to synchronize video across multiple screens and explore what was possible when visual art and technology worked together.

I have always had a lifelong passion for both visual arts and technology, and ArraySync came from the place where those two interests meet. I wanted to make multi-screen video playback feel simple, flexible, and reliable. It should not be something limited to large production teams, expensive hardware, or complicated installation systems.

In the beginning, ArraySync was used around campus and among friends. It became a tool for experimentation, live visuals, art projects, and creative setups where multiple displays could become one larger synchronized canvas. That early spirit still defines FloSync today. Technology should get out of the way and let creative ideas flow.

In 2011, a commercial version of ArraySync went on sale in the Mac App Store. In 2013, we changed our name to FloSync, reflecting a broader vision for the software and the people using it. The name changed, but the core philosophy stayed the same: synchronized video should be approachable, powerful, and useful to anyone creating visual experiences.

Over the years, one of the most rewarding parts of this project has been seeing the unique and creative ways people have used it. I have been continually surprised by the projects, installations, events, and ideas that users have shared with me. Many of them used ArraySync or FloSync in ways I never would have imagined when I first started building it. That has always been one of the biggest motivations to keep improving the software.

In 2026, we created a completely new version of FloSync for modern systems. This was not a quick rewrite or a throwaway reboot. We started with the original ArraySync codebase, carried forward the core ideas and synchronization concepts that had already been proven over many years, and rebuilt the app around a new modern foundation.

The result is a new FloSync that feels fresh, faster, and more capable, but still has roots going back nearly 20 years. It is based on the same principles that inspired ArraySync in 2007, now with greatly expanded features, improved performance, and a more flexible platform for the future.

Outside of FloSync, my passions include dance music, travel, and motorcycles. These interests all share a common thread with this project: movement, timing, energy, and the desire to create memorable experiences. FloSync exists for that same reason. Whether it is used for digital signage, video walls, live performance, art installations, or something entirely unexpected, the goal is to help people bring screens to life in a way that feels effortless.

FloSync is built on a simple belief: creative technology should be powerful enough for ambitious ideas, but simple enough that those ideas can actually happen.

If you are using FloSync, experimenting with it, or just have a creative idea you want to share, I would love to hear from you. The best way to connect with me personally is on Instagram at @djdanam.
