About

TakeCue

Read full description

Take Cue turns interview prep into deliberate, on-camera practice — the closest thing to the real room. On set, your “cue” is the signal to begin — the moment you step in and deliver your line. Interview confidence works the same way: the answer that lands is the one you’ve rehearsed until it feels natural. PREPARE FOR THE REAL THING • Got your interview questions? Paste them in or scan a printed sheet with your camera. • Group them into a named interview, set the date, and watch the countdown. • Build interviews for every company you’re prepping for. PRACTICE UNDER PRESSURE • Record answers in a full-screen, timed environment — just like a real video interview. • No pausing or restarting mid-answer. Real interviews don’t have a pause button. • Questions advance automatically so you learn to think on your feet. REVIEW EVERY TAKE • Watch each answer back and re-take it as many times as you like. • Track your sessions, takes, and the questions you’ve practised. • See how ready you are as your interview date approaches. MAKE IT YOURS • Mirror your video, move the on-screen question, or switch on caption mode. • Adjust the question text size for comfortable reading while you record. • Set practice reminders so you never miss a day before the big one. LIGHT, PRIVATE, AND IN YOUR LANGUAGE • Featherweight — the whole app is just a few megabytes. It installs in seconds and barely touches your storage. • Fully on-device — recording and transcription never leave your phone. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. • Now in three languages — the entire app and your recording transcription work in English, 简体中文, and Deutsch. TAKE CUE PRO Upgrade for unlimited interviews and recordings, automatic transcription, video & PDF export, and practice reminders. Choose a one-time Lifetime purchase that's yours forever, or a monthly subscription with a free 1-week trial — billed monthly, cancel anytime. When your cue comes, you’ll be ready. That’s Take Cue.
