Printed rundown
Out of date the first time a speaker runs long. Startr's cue moves when the show moves.
Cue Mode · For live events
Run of show,
on every Lock Screen.
Your agent holds the run of show. You say “next.” Your stage manager, AV lead, green room and emcee all see the same cue, what's coming, and the same countdown on their iPhone Lock Screens. No spreadsheet to refresh, no radio chatter, no one finding out last.
Crew members only need the Startr app. No agent, no account, no setup.

Why crews lose the thread
Every show has a run of show. Almost nobody is looking at it.
It lives in a spreadsheet on the producer's laptop, a printout that went stale at 9:40, and a radio channel half the team isn't on. Cue Mode puts the one line that matters where everyone already looks.
Radio & group text
Noisy, easy to miss, and no countdown. A Lock Screen card is silent, glanceable, and always current.
Shared spreadsheet
Someone has to open it, scroll, and find the row. The card already shows now, next, and how long.
How it works
Three steps. Then one word.
1
Paste your run of show
Give Claude, Grok or another connected agent your schedule: times, segments, and what each crew role needs to know.
2
Invite up to five crew
Share the Cue invite from Startr. Followers open it in the app and they're in. Read-only, and it expires on its own.
3
Say “next”
Your agent advances the cue. Every Lock Screen updates together, with the same countdown to the next segment.

Illustrative cards. Each time the show caller says “next,” every follower's Lock Screen changes at once.

Prompt · works with a connected Startr agent
Here's today's run of show: [paste it]. Start a Startr Cue card for the morning block. Put the current segment in the headline, what the crew needs to do in the status, and a countdown to the next segment. When I say next, advance one cue. +5 means push the countdown five minutes; hold means pause at the current cue. Keep every line short enough to read at a glance.
Built for the real room
What your crew gets, and what it doesn't do.
Up to five crew per cue.
Followers need the Startr app and the invite. No agent, no account, nothing to configure. They can tap the card to read the full cue.
Only the show caller moves it.
Followers are read-only, so the cue can't drift. The host's agent sends every change, and the countdown stays in sync across phones.
A glance, not an alert.
Cards live on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. No ping for every change, which is exactly what you want in a quiet house.
Invites expire on their own.
Startr stores who's following, not your cue text. There's no public channel and nothing left behind after the show.
Startr displays the cue. Your agent and your show caller run the show.
Cue Mode doesn't run a schedule by itself: each change is sent by the host's agent, usually when the show caller says “next.” A card lasts up to eight hours, so plan one card per block (morning, afternoon) and re-share the invite for each. Someone who joins late sees the next update. It's a display layer, not a safety, paging or emergency system. Keep your radios for that.

Questions
Before your next event
Does my crew need an AI agent?
No. Only the show caller connects an agent. Everyone else installs Startr and opens the invite.
What does the show caller need?
Startr on their iPhone and a connected agent such as Claude or Grok. Setup takes a few minutes, and you only do it once.
Can it advance cues on a timer by itself?
Not yet. The host's agent sends each update. The countdown runs on its own between updates, so the crew always sees how long until the next segment.
What if someone joins after the show starts?
They'll see the cue as soon as the show caller sends the next update.
Does it work on Android?
Not today. Startr is an iPhone app, available on the U.S. App Store.
Cue Mode · Available now
One cue.
Everyone on it.
Download Startr, connect your agent, and run your next rehearsal with it.
