# RaidRunner

> RaidRunner is a free, privacy-focused tool for organizing and scheduling Twitch raid trains — coordinated chains of raids where streamers hand off their live audience to the next streamer in a lineup. An organizer creates an event, sets slot times, and shares a link; performers claim their spots and the schedule is the single source of truth.

RaidRunner is built for Twitch streamers and communities who run raid trains (also called "trains" or "raid relays"). It handles cross-timezone slot scheduling, sign-ups, waitlists, slot trades between performers, Discord and Twitch-schedule sync, calendar export, automated reminders, and shareable promo graphics. Privacy-first: no user tracking.
