Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
Can I preach from my Apple Watch?
Yes. Keep a saved deck on the watch with Keep on Apple Watch in the ••• menu, and read each point on your wrist without the phone. Set the watch to stay on CueCard for an hour in General › Return to Clock. See CueCard on Apple Watch.
Can I read a full sermon manuscript instead?
Yes. Switch to the teleprompter, which scrolls the whole manuscript at the speed you set. It works on iPad, and can be read from a few feet away.
Is CueCard free for churches?
Yes. It is free for everyone, with no account, no ads and no subscription, and your notes stay on your device.
Do I need an account to use CueCard?
No. There is nothing to sign up for on either app, and your scripts and settings live on your device. The one exception is Google Slides sync on the desktop app, which asks you to sign in with Google so it can read the notes out of your deck. See the privacy policy for the details.
Is CueCard free?
Yes. CueCard is completely free on mobile and on desktop, and open source under the MIT licence. Read the code on GitHub — and a star is always welcome.
Is CueCard open source?
Yes, MIT licensed, on GitHub. An app that can see your script is one worth being able to read the source of.
Where are my scripts stored?
On your device. Your notes are not uploaded to us. The privacy policy sets out exactly what is and is not kept.
How do I report a bug or ask for a feature?
Open an issue on GitHub, or email support@cuecard.dev. Both are read.
