For the tech desk at conferences, services and events
Run the whole show
from one Mac.
Cueember puts your speakers' slides, sponsor images, walk-in music and videos on the projector, the side screens and the speaker's notes monitor, all from one calm control window. No more giant presentation file.
Version 1.0.1 · 22.2 MB · macOS 10.15 or later
The giant presentation file is the riskiest thing on the desk.
Every sponsor slide, walk-in song and countdown video baked into one Keynote or PowerPoint file. It takes hours to build, and one late change from a speaker can break it.
Cueember keeps everything separate and points to it instead. Swap a deck minutes before a session, drop in a new sponsor image, and the rest of the show stays exactly as it was.
Features
Everything the tech desk needs, nothing it does not.
PowerPoint and Keynote, as they look
Import a deck and every slide becomes a sharp image, embedded fonts and all, with the speaker notes kept. The show runs without opening the original app.
A presenter view you can trust
Current and next slide, the notes and a talk timer. Edit notes on the spot without touching the speaker's file.
Every screen in the room
Borderless fullscreen on the projector, a notes monitor for the speaker, and extra screens that show your logo until you send them something.
Images, music and video
Sponsor slides, holding images, walk-in playlists with fades and loop modes, countdowns and intros. Drag files straight in from Finder.
Black and Logo, instantly
One key blanks every screen; another shows your holding screen, an image or a looping video. Press it again and you are back where you were.
Shows that travel
A show is a tiny file that points to your media. Collect it into one folder with everything it uses and carry it to another Mac on a USB stick.
How it works
Ready before the doors open.
-
1
Add your decks
Drop in each speaker's PowerPoint or Keynote file. Cueember converts it once, in the background, and keeps the notes.
-
2
Add your media
Sponsor images, the walk-in playlist, countdown and intro videos. Pick an image or video as the logo screen.
-
3
Open the output and go
The output fills the projector. The clicker moves the slides; Black, Logo, music and video are one key or click away.
Built for show day
Calm under pressure.
A stray clicker press while an image is up never skips a slide: it simply brings the slide back. If a projector is unplugged, the output waits for it instead of covering your laptop. And the Mac stays awake for the whole session.

Questions
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with macOS 10.15 Catalina or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
Do I need PowerPoint or Keynote?
Only to import a deck. PowerPoint keeps fonts embedded in .pptx files, so Cueember uses it when it is installed and Keynote otherwise. During the show, neither is needed.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Everything runs on your Mac, so a venue with no Wi-Fi is fine.
Where are my files kept?
Your decks, images, music and video stay where they are. A show only points to them, and "Collect show for travel" copies everything into one folder when you need to move it.
Can I show different things on different screens?
Yes. With more than one external screen, send an image or video to one of them or to all of them, while the main screen keeps the slides.
Is there a Windows version?
Not yet. Cueember is Mac only for now.
Your next event, without the giant file.
Download Cueember, add a deck and open the output. You will be ready in minutes.
