## What is Cuethelights?

Cuelight is a field-ready teleprompter and creator rehearsal tool built for people who film talking-head videos, lessons, announcements, product demos, and voiceover scripts.

Paste or draft a script, mark the delivery beats, set your pace, rehearse the timing, and record with a prompter overlay when you are ready to roll. Cuelight keeps the workflow local and focused so creators can stay connected to the lens instead of wrestling with a cluttered setup.

New pro tools in Cuelight 2.1:
- Director Brief creates an offline shoot-readiness score for the selected script
- Score components break down delivery clarity, cue coverage, practice signal, and camera-readiness
- Next Actions turn weak spots into a concrete rehearsal plan
- Shoot Gate checks the hook pass, breath map, pace lock, line polish, and camera proof
- Creator Playbooks provide practical run-of-show cards for hooks, breath mapping, B-roll planning, short-form cutdowns, product demos, voiceover arcs, and final-take readiness

Core teleprompter features:
- Script library for reusable reads
- Adjustable scroll speed, text size, line height, and color presets
- Cue markers for breath, pause, gesture, emphasis, notes, and section bookmarks
- Practice takes with target runtime and self-ratings
- Recording history with pace, pause, mirror, and camera-run metadata
- Camera recording with prompter overlay
- Mirror-friendly display options for camera rigs
- Import, edit, duplicate, and export scripts
- Export to PDF, plain text, or SRT captions
- On-device smart pace when enabled by the user
- iPhone and iPad support

Cuelight is local-first. It does not require an account, subscription, analytics SDK, or network service. Camera, microphone, speech recognition, and photo library access are used only for the features the user chooses to run.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-08-21

Adds Director Brief with a shoot-readiness score, delivery and cue checks, next actions, and a concrete Shoot Gate. New creator playbooks support hooks, breath maps, B-roll, demos, and final-take preparation.

### 2.1 — 2026-06-29

Cuelight 2.1 adds a pro creator planning layer:

- Director Brief builds a local shoot-readiness score for the selected script.

- New App Store screenshots now show the current app in use across phone and iPad.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-24

This update sharpens the interface: the iPad layout now uses a centered, comfortable reading width instead of stretching edge to edge, so every screen reads as a clean column. iPhone is unchanged; still fully on-device.

### 2.0 — 2026-06-21

Cuethelights 2.0 — a pro upgrade that turns the prompter into a delivery coach, still 100% offline.

• Live pace bar: an ahead / on-pace / behind puck comparing your real reading time to the target runtime.
• Delivery analysis: a deliverability score flagging long sentences, no-breath runs, and hard words.
• Run of show: your script split at markers into timed sections, plus a director's cue-sheet PDF.
• Practice Mode: rehearse and log per-take runtime, rating, and notes with best/avg/on-target stats.
• Prompter Profiles: named presets you can apply to any script.
• Framing guides, a reading-line indicator, and focus dimming of non-current lines.
• Tap-zone remote: edge taps change speed, center taps jump to the next marker.

Voice-follow and everything else runs on-device. No account, no network.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-16

What's New in 1.1

- Script bookmarks - drop a `[MARK section-name]` token anywhere in your script to mark a named section. During a take, tap the bookmark icon in the top bar to jump straight to any section in one tap. Essential for pick-up takes on long scripts without rewinding from the top.

- Progress ring + time remaining - the prompter bottom bar now shows a thin circular progress arc and an estimated time-remaining chip that updates live as you scroll. Finally know exactly how much script is left at a glance.

- Record button fixed - the "Record" button in the script editor now correctly launches the camera recorder with the prompter overlay, instead of duplicating the prompter-only run. Hit Record right from the editor without going to the Record tab.
