Why BackstageIQ
Cue-first design
Each cue runs its own timer while the app tracks the full performance in the background.
Built for real shows
Large touch targets, dark mode UI, and a layout designed for iPad landscape use.
Share the clock
Generate a read-only view so the rest of the crew can follow timing live.
No distractions
No ads, no clutter, no unnecessary settings. Just timing that works.
Who it’s for
Stage managers
Track cue durations and total runtime without juggling stopwatches.
Touring crew
Keep everyone aligned on timing during rehearsals and shows.
Live productions
Theatre, music, events, and any show that runs on cues.
