Look at the lens. CueSpot holds your words. CueSpot puts your script directly under the iPhone's front camera, so you read naturally while keeping real eye contact. Write or import a script, set your pace, and record right in the app — your audience sees someone talking to them, not someone reading. MADE FOR TALKING TO CAMERA • Your script scrolls in a compact window right below the front camera — no darting eyes, no memorizing • Set your reading speed and text size — your words, your pace • Record with the front camera without leaving the app; every take lands straight in Photos • Save your favorite setups as presets and switch between them in seconds • Import scripts from anywhere with the share sheet — notes, docs, chat, browser ALSO ON YOUR MAC CueSpot for Mac puts your script in the notch of your MacBook, right below the camera — for video calls, recordings and presentations. Your scripts, presets and settings sync through your own iCloud, and your purchase works on both. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your takes go straight to Photos, and your scripts and presets sync only through your own iCloud. There is no account, no sign-up, and no CueSpot server. CueSpot doesn't want your data — it wants you to nail the take. FAIR PRICING, NO SUBSCRIPTION TRAP Try CueSpot free. After that, one small one-time purchase unlocks everything forever. Prefer flexibility? There's a weekly option too — but you'll never be forced into a subscription to keep what you paid for. WHO IT'S FOR Creators filming talking-head videos. Founders recording pitches and updates. Teachers, coaches, and salespeople sending video messages. Anyone who knows what they want to say — and wants to say it to the lens, not to a script. Read. Speak. Record. CueSpot. Questions or feedback: https://cuespot.app Privacy Policy: https://cuespot.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
