ShowCue: Cue & Backing Player

When every sound has to happen at exactly the right moment, ShowCue keeps your run order clear—without a complicated theatre control setup. Plan shows, arrange cues, check files and audio output in Preflight, then run the event with the large GO button. For teachers, dance coaches, school theatre teams, sports clubs, church teams, and anyone organizing small live events. Why ShowCue: - Make independent copies of shows and their local audio, then edit the name, venue and optional date - Confirm show deletion before its local audio is removed from this device - Read current and next stage notes even with locked live controls - Plan shows from scratch or templates and put local audio files, announcements, and transitions in the right order - Prepare every cue with trim, volume, fade out, loop, crossfade, notes, color, and end behavior - Silently check local file availability and initial audio readability in Preflight, plus output, volume and battery - Keep the current and next cue visible in Show Mode with GO, pause, stop, fade out, and locked controls - Control Show Mode with Apple Watch, a hardware keyboard, or a footswitch - Back up complete shows including audio and import them again Preflight is not a full playback test: listen to the files before the show. Unknown readings remain visibly unchecked. Below 30% battery when not charging, a conservative warning appears, without a runtime estimate. You can still start after confirmation with errors or an incomplete audio check. The free version includes one show with up to 12 cues. One ShowCue Pro purchase unlocks unlimited shows and cues plus complete backups—no subscription. A second show created by copying requires Pro. Editing, deletion confirmation, stage notes and Preflight have no additional Pro gate.
