Cue Maker

From paper script to iPad. Write cues, time the run, call the show — all in one app.

From paper script to iPad.

The cues you once pencilled into the script margins now go down with Apple Pencil. Record the run-through, and during the show the app has the next cue ready ahead of time. Cue Maker, built for stage managers.

■ WORK — Mark cues on the script · Import a PDF script and place each cue with Apple Pencil on the line where it is called. · Lighting, sound, fly, deck and video each have their own colour, so departments stand apart at a glance. · Anything you write in the margins stays as a note, and handwriting is converted to text on the iPad itself. · When the blocking changes, drag the cues and notes with it.

■ REC — Time your cues in the run-through · Turn on REC and do your run, and the time each cue goes is logged. · Turn REC on again and the cues you have already timed keep their times.

■ SHOW — From standby to GO · Following your run-through record, it brings up the next cue ahead of time and tells you when it is due. · The script turns its own pages as the show goes on. · If the show runs late, adjust on the spot. Called and missed cues are marked separately. · When the curtain comes down, you get a summary of that night's running time.

■ CUE SHEET — No script? Use a table · For concerts and events that follow a running order, build the show as a cue sheet table. · Handwriting in the cells turns into text, and once the show starts you tick off each item as it passes. · A show stopwatch is built in.

■ ON SITE · Everything from writing cues to running the show works without internet. After your subscription renews, just connect once. · There is no separate account to create; subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID. Keep a separate project for each production. · Your scripts and records are saved only on your iPad, and they are included when you back up the iPad to iCloud or a computer. · The app follows your iPad's language: English or Korean. In English, cues use the usual theatre shorthand (LX, SQ, Fly, Deck, VID).

■ GOOD TO KNOW · Marking cues on a script requires Apple Pencil. Cue sheet tables also work with your finger. · Requires an iPad with iPadOS 17 or later.

■ SUBSCRIPTION · Cue Maker is free to download. Writing cues and notes, REC, running a show and creating projects require a subscription.
