What is Cue Light?

Cue Light replaces $200–$600 hardware tally lights with any phone or browser tab. Directors control live/preview/standby/off signals from their phone or laptop — talent sees a fullscreen color indicator on any device instantly.

Unlike hardware tally systems and Tally Arbiter, Cue Light is cloud-native and works over the public internet. No local network required — works on WiFi, 5G, LTE, or across different locations entirely.

Setup takes 30 seconds: open the app, share the QR code, tap Live. Screen Wake Lock keeps displays on all day. Shows how many display devices are connected. Reconnect overlay appears if a display loses connection.

Built for wedding videographers, church AV teams, podcasters, live streamers, and corporate video crews who need tally without hardware, servers, or installation.

Free tier includes all core features with a subtle watermark. Pro ($10/month) removes the watermark and adds unlimited rooms.
