## What is PowerCue Companion?

PowerCue Companion turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless teleprompter screen for PowerCue on your Mac. Open the app on the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac and your script appears instantly. The companion stays in perfect lock-step with PowerCue: the same line breaks, the same styling, the same paragraph spacing, the same karaoke highlight, the same timer.

FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE
PowerCue listens as you read and keeps the next line at the marker. Pause and it waits for you. Ad-lib and it picks you up at your next written line. Stumble and start the line again, and it jumps back to it. The companion screen scrolls right along with it.

CONTROL THE PROMPTER FROM THE PHONE
Tap the screen for the on-screen controls: start and stop voice following, play and pause the timed scroll, go back to the top, and jump to the previous or next marker. Scroll the script by hand and PowerCue on the Mac follows your finger, then picks up listening from wherever you stopped.

USE THE PHONE AS THE MICROPHONE
Pick "iPhone/iPad Microphone" in PowerCue and the device in front of you drives the voice following. Speech is recognized entirely on the device; on iOS 26 it uses Apple's newest on-device engine, which needs nothing more than the microphone permission. If a call takes the microphone, PowerCue on the Mac is told, and listening resumes on its own.

MADE FOR REAL SHOOTS
• Pinch to resize the text without changing the line breaks
• Karaoke highlight as colored text or a pill, matching the Mac
• On-screen timer, mirrored from the Mac
• Mirror flips for beam-splitter rigs
• Marker arrow on the left or the right, sized like the Mac's
• Stays awake while it is the prompter
• Ping from the Mac to find the right device
• Reconnects on its own when you come back

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens over your local network. Your script, your voice, and your audio are never uploaded anywhere.

REQUIRES POWERCUE FOR MAC
PowerCue Companion is free and pairs with PowerCue, the voice-following teleprompter for macOS, available at rafaelludwig.com/apps/powercue.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-26

• New languages always work: iOS lets each app keep speech models for five languages, and PowerCue Companion now makes room automatically when you choose a new one.
• Clear messages: if Apple's speech model for your language can't be downloaded, the app now says why instead of pointing to the microphone.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-22

Highlighter colors from PowerCue now show on the phone: color blocks that hug the words and stay readable after you have read past them. Requires PowerCue 1.0.13 or later on the Mac for highlights.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-18

The iPhone microphone now follows scripts in more languages. When PowerCue on your Mac is set to a language such as Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, Russian or Turkish (marked beta on the Mac), the phone recognizes it on the device, with nothing uploaded. Requires PowerCue 1.0.11 or later on the Mac.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-17

Run the prompter from your phone: drag the script and the Mac follows your finger, and use the Follow, Play/Pause, Back to Top and marker buttons right on the screen. The phone stays awake while prompting, tells you if its microphone cannot listen, and mirrors the Mac's marker arrow. Also, Paragraph spacing now matches the Mac's prompter, including the new Paragraph gap setting. The pill highlight style and independent read-text fade from PowerCue show on the phone. On-screen controls to run the prompter from your phone, and speech recognized fully on the device. Your script and your voice never leave your network.. Requires PowerCue 1.0.7 or higher for Mac.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-15
