What you can do
A studio in your pocket.
Three tools that change how you rehearse. No setup, no mixer, no excuses.
Mark the moments
Tap while a track plays to bookmark the intro, the chorus, that tricky transition. Name each one so it's easy to find later.
Jump back in one tap
Snap straight to any cue. Drill the same eight count fifty times until it lives in your body.
Practice at your pace
Slow tricky passages down to 0.7× — without changing the pitch — while you learn the steps. Bring it back to full speed when you're ready to fly.
Start Early
Cues jump in 10 seconds before the moment so you've got time to set up.
Liked tracks
Heart the routines you teach again and again. Filter to find them fast.
Filter & search
Find any track by title, artist, or source in a tap.
Share a link
Send a track and every cue point to your class. They tap the link and start.
Who it's for
Whether you're learning or leading.
Drill it 'til you nail it.
Mark the moments that keep tripping you up, loop them at half speed, then bring the tempo back up. Build the muscle memory once. Keep it forever.

Frequently asked
Questions & answers
Can CueStep slow down songs without changing the pitch?
Yes. At 70%, 80%, and 90% playback speed, CueStep keeps the pitch intact, so songs sound slower but still in tune — not chipmunked.
What music sources does CueStep work with?
CueStep works with Apple Music tracks in your library, YouTube videos (paste a link), and audio files stored on your iPhone or iCloud Drive. Adding tracks from Apple Music requires an active Apple Music subscription.
What is a cue point?
A cue point is a labeled bookmark on a song — for example "Chorus" at 2:02. Tap it to jump back to that exact moment in one tap, even at a slower speed.
Can I share a routine with my class?
Yes. Tap Share on any cue track and CueStep gives you a link carrying the track and every cue point you've marked. Send it however you like — Messages, email, your class group chat. Whoever opens it sees the track and its cues, and can add the whole thing to their own library in a tap. Tracks you added from your own audio files can't be shared, because the file only exists on your device.
Do share links expire? Who can see them?
Share links expire after 30 days, then stop working and are deleted. Anyone who has the link can open it — no account and no app needed, since the link also opens as a web page showing the track and its first few cue labels. Links use a random 20-character code so they can't be guessed or browsed, but treat one like a key: whoever you send it to can pass it on. Your audio is never uploaded — a shared cue track is just references and timestamps, and the song plays from the recipient's own Apple Music or YouTube.
Does CueStep work on iPad?
Yes. CueStep is a universal iOS app that runs on iPhone and iPad, in both portrait and landscape on iPad.
Is CueStep free?
CueStep is free to download. The free tier includes one cue track with unlimited cue points. Premium ($4.99, one-time purchase) unlocks unlimited cue tracks forever.
