CrewCue digitizes the analog schedule for live productions. Whether it's a concert, festival, theater, or tour - your entire production schedule becomes an interactive live ticker. Use CrewCue solo for your own events or together with a crew. LIVE TICKER FOR YOUR PRODUCTION Follow your production schedule in real time: What's happening now, what's coming next, how much time is left. With timers, weather forecasts per timeslot, and delay indicators. The live ticker doesn't just run in the app – it automatically extends to your lock screen, the Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch. REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION Send urgent messages to your entire crew - directly into the live ticker of all checked-in members. Whether it's a schedule change, announcement, or weather warning: Everyone is instantly informed. DELAYS & SCHEDULE CHANGES Delays happen.

Scan schedules, start the live ticker, and manage your documents - all on your own. Available as a monthly subscription.
