PulseCue is dead-simple sound & video cue playback for live theater and dance — the power of a pro cue system without the price tag or the learning curve. Your phone is the remote. No internet required.
One-time purchase · works offline · free to try on your first two shows
The industry-standard cue app is Mac-only, expensive, and built for engineers — overkill for a high-school drama room or a community dance recital. PulseCue does the part you actually need, and gets out of the way.
Runs on the Mac or PC that's already in your booth. Nothing to buy, nothing to rack, nothing to requisition.
Drag in your tracks and clips, set a hotkey per cue, hit Go. A student ASM can run it after one run-through.
An impulse purchase, not a purchase order. Expensable without three signatures and a two-week wait.
If you can make a playlist, you can run a show.
Drop in sound and video files, drag them into the order the show runs. Save the whole show as one file you can reopen next rehearsal.
Scan the on-screen code and your phone becomes a wireless Go button — no app to install, works over your local network with no internet.
Go fires the next cue. One key stops everything for a clean panic. Video goes full-screen to your projector or monitor. Autosave keeps your place if anything hiccups.
Music, effects, pre-show announcements, and full-screen video to a second display — all in one cue list.
Any phone with a browser pairs by QR code and drives the show from the wings or the house.
Map any cue to a key so a caller can run the whole show from the keyboard.
One key fades out everything at once — for when a scene changes early or a mic goes hot.
No login, no cloud, no wifi in the booth required. It just runs.
Your cue list is saved as you build it, so a bumped power strip doesn't end your night.
Try it free on your first two shows. Buy when it's carrying your production.
Free version runs full shows with a small watermark on the output screen and keeps up to two saved shows.
No — PulseCue runs on both Mac and Windows. Install it like any app and open it. That's the difference from QLab, which is Mac-only.
No. Everything runs locally, including the phone remote over your own network. The booth can be fully offline.
Everything — you can run a full show on it. It keeps up to two saved shows and puts a small "Made with PulseCue" mark on the output screen. Buy any license to remove both.
No install. They scan a code and it opens in the phone's browser.
Use H.264 MP4 — it plays everywhere, on Mac and Windows. iPhone video records as HEVC by default, which Windows can't always play; set your iPhone's Camera to "Most Compatible," or export clips to H.264.
No. Solo is a one-time purchase — you own it forever on one computer. Site is a yearly license that covers a whole organization.
