Built for operators

No app install. No browser tab gymnastics. Just the show.

Cuemaster is designed for touch first. Big targets, readable type, latency-free interactions. Works on the booth tablet, the manager's phone, and the kiosk by the entrance.

Live show status

Every zone, every Polaris node, every active cue — visible in real time. Color-coded for healthy / warn / down.

Manual cue triggers

Fire any cue from the dashboard. Test an effect. Override a sequence. Re-run a scene for a guest who missed it.

Alert acknowledgment

Banner alerts on node drops, schedule misses, or e-stop trips. One-tap acknowledge, with audit log of who and when.

Runtime overrides

Skip a sequence. Pause a zone. Tweak a value. Without redeploying. Reverts on next show open if you forget.

Role-based access

Operators can fire and acknowledge. Managers can override. Admins can deploy. Everyone signs in once.

Offline-tolerant

Lose Wi-Fi for a moment? Cuemaster caches the last state and reconnects clean. No spinner of death mid-show.
