Okay — recording. YouTube videos, take one.

settle, then start

Everything I am saying is on a script floating above the camera app.

eyes up

It scrolls by itself, at the speed I talk, so I am not scrubbing back to find my place.

slow down here

The coloured lines are notes to me — where to pause, where to smile, what not to rush.

smile

They are for youtubers who would rather sound like themselves than read off a card.

pause

One take. That is the point.

Adjust the speed to your pace. Pink lines are reminders, not words to read aloud.

and every other app you record in

What you get

Everything you need to stay on script

  1. 01

    A script that stays up while you film

    Whatever youtubers record in, CueCard floats above it.

  2. 02

    Scrolls at your pace

    Set the speed once, then pause or drag it whenever you need.

  3. 03

    Cues for how to say it

    Reminders like [cue slow down] show in color as they pass.

  4. 04

    A countdown and a timer

    A moment to settle before it moves, and a timer that keeps youtubers to the length a take has to be.

  5. 05

    Cue cards when you are speaking live

    Short cards to swipe through, on your phone, Lock Screen or Apple Watch.

  6. 06

    Scripts saved for next time

    Find the scripts youtubers reuse by title or text, and restore an earlier version when a rewrite needs undoing.

The app itself

What it looks like.

Read your script from the full screen, or shrink it into a small window that stays on top of whatever else you open.

CueCard on iPhone: the floating script over the home screen, the teleprompter scrolling with cues in pink, a card being swiped in Cards mode, cards on the Lock Screen with Back and Next, and the settings for scroll speed, text size, layout and cue color.
On iPhone The floating script, the teleprompter, cards in the app and on the Lock Screen, and the settings.

Looking for the computer app instead? CueCard for Mac and Windows keeps your speaker notes on your screen and out of your screen share.

The same teleprompter, on iPad.

CueCard Teleprompter for iPad

A screen big enough to read from a few feet away

An iPad is the screen a good many youtubers end up propping under the lens. The script runs the full width of it, big enough to read from where you are standing with both hands free. Shrink it back into the floating window whenever you would rather film in an app. See CueCard Teleprompter on iPad.

Whoever else has to say it on camera

Also on your computer

Presenting instead of filming? There is an app for that.

CueCard for Mac and Windows

Speaker notes your screen share cannot see

Most youtubers present from a laptop as well as film on a phone. On a Mac or PC the CueCard window is left out of screen capture, so a call sees your deck and never your notes — same scripts, same cues, nothing on the shared screen.

Written setup guide

A filming workflow for youtubers

Break the video into sections and save one script per segment. Rehearse the introduction near the lens, then record the explanation and demonstrations separately.

  1. 01

    Shape the script for YouTube videos

    Write the lines youtubers need word-perfect, keep each one short, and save the script in CueCard.

  2. 02

    Rehearse one short take

    Float CueCard beside the lens, record the opening, then adjust the pace before filming the full version.

A short script to try

Select and copy this into CueCard. The [cue ...] tags are reminders to yourself; you leave the pause when you speak.

Frequently asked

Questions from youtubers

Can I use CueCard for YouTube Shorts?

Yes. CueCard is perfect for Shorts. Keep your hook and key points visible while recording quick vertical videos.

Does it help with sponsored content?

Yes. Keep sponsor talking points, required disclosures, and key messages visible while recording ad reads.

Can I read longer scripts for full videos?

Yes. Use auto-scroll for longer scripts. CueCard scrolls at your preferred pace so you stay focused on delivery.

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.
