Now playing
Time left, big and clear
The current and next song, with the time left as a large number and a ring. It turns orange 15 seconds before the end, and during a crossfade it keeps counting the outgoing song down 3 · 2 · 1 to zero.
- Play, pause, restart, next
- Fade stop and instant stop: both return to the start of the same song and wait
- Voice-over: tuck the music under the emcee
- Stop after: stop when the current song ends
Four tabs
Tracks, pads and announcements too
Sound pads
All 10 CuePlayer pads, with the names you gave them in CuePlayer. Tap to fire, tap again to stop.
Announcements
Type a line, or fill in one of six quick phrases (car move, lost child, lost item, paging, start, break), and CuePlayer announces it. Pick a voice and hear a sample first.
Announcements use CueTone paid voices only and use the credits on the CueTone account linked to CuePlayer. There are no in-app purchases.
Pairing
One QR code, no sign-in
- 1
Allow it in CuePlayer
In CuePlayer Settings → Remote control, turn on the phone remote. CuePlayer needs a linked CueTone account.
- 2
Make a QR code
Press Make QR. A QR code and a short code appear for 5 minutes.
- 3
Scan it with your phone
In Cue Remote, tap Connect with CuePlayer QR and point the camera at it. Your phone's camera app works too, or type the code.
- No need for the same Wi-Fi. Control goes through the CueTone server over the internet
- No account or sign-in in the app
- Once paired, just open the app next time
- Once paired, other computers signed in to the same CueTone account show up on your phone without another QR. Just turn on “Allow phone remote” on that computer
Stay in control
Easy to cut off, easy to limit
Cut it off from CuePlayer
While the phone remote is on, a small green radio-waves icon shows in CuePlayer (on Mac, right under the red close button; on Windows, at the top-left of the top card). Click it and press Turn off remote to cut the connection at once.
Unlink from the phone
Tap the connection pill at the top of the app and choose Disconnect. That phone's link is removed right away.
Block announcements only
Turn off “Allow remote announcements” in CuePlayer Settings → Remote control. Playback and pads keep working.
No fallback to the built-in voice
Announcements from the phone use CueTone paid voices only. If there are no credits or the voice can't be made, it reports a failure instead of using the computer's built-in voice.
Questions
- Is it free?
- Yes. Both Cue Remote and CuePlayer are free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Only announcements use credits on the CueTone account linked to CuePlayer.
- Which CuePlayer do I need?
- CuePlayer 1.1.22 or later on Mac, 1.0.25 or later on Windows. Update from CuePlayer Settings → About. The iPhone needs iOS 18 or later; the Android app is on the way.
- Do they need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
- No. As long as the CuePlayer computer and the phone are each online, control goes through the CueTone server. The phone can be on LTE.
- Do I need to sign up or sign in?
- No account or sign-in in the app. With a CueTone account linked in CuePlayer, one QR code from CuePlayer links the phone to the same account.
- What data is exchanged?
- Playback, pad and announcement commands and the playback state (such as the current song) only pass through the CueTone server; command contents are not stored. No location, contacts or advertising IDs are collected. See the privacy policy.
- Is there an Android app?
- The Android app is in progress.
