About

CueRemote

Read full description

CueRemote is a remote control for operating QLab 5 from an iPhone or iPad over your venue’s local network. See the live workspace, cue lists, playhead, and running or paused cues. Control GO, STOP, pause, resume, and playhead navigation with an interface designed for rehearsals and live shows. LIVE CUE CONTROL • GO, STOP, pause, resume, and stop each running cue individually. • Load to Time: load a cue at a chosen point before GO, using the slider or buttons. • Go to Cue: enter a cue number to fire it or move the playhead to it. • Yellow progress bars show running, paused, and loaded cue progress, including pre-wait. • Selecting another cue resets the previous cue and updates Load to Time. • Open or close a Group in CueRemote and it updates in QLab. • Select cues and move the playhead from the list. • Switch cue lists from your device; GO fires the list shown in CueRemote. • Carts: tap a cue to fire it. • Lock controls to prevent accidental changes during a show. • Get a warning when QLab and CueRemote show different cue lists. CONNECTION • Discover QLab automatically with Bonjour or connect manually by IP address. • OSC over TCP with automatic reconnection. • Connection status stays visible. Stale workspace data is identified and unsafe commands are disabled. PRIVACY CueRemote requires no account, has no ads, and uses no analytics or tracking. Connection data stays on your device. The QLab passcode is stored in the device’s Keychain and is not synced to iCloud. REQUIREMENTS • A Mac running QLab 5. • iOS or iPadOS 17.6 or later. • Your iPhone or iPad and Mac must be able to communicate over the local network. • Enable OSC access in QLab and grant View and Control permissions.
