What’s new
StandbyCue is built and improved continuously. Here are the highlights.
June 2026
Latest- Text variables — define a value like host or doors once and reference it as {{token}} in any cell; change it once and it updates everywhere, including exports and the prompter. Plus find & replace across the whole rundown.
- Built-in teleprompter — designate any column as the script and run a full-screen, auto-scrolling prompter that follows the live cue, with mirror mode and a no-login link for guest presenters.
- Rundown control API (v0) — drive start / pause / next from a Stream Deck, Bitfocus Companion or your own script, with a per-rundown token and rate limiting.
- Stage display + Standby / GO cue light — a full-screen confidence/stage screen that mirrors the live state, with a silent cue light for the people on stage.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) — turn on an authenticator app for your account from Profile & settings.
- Public docs, comparison pages and a richer landing page — so it’s easier to learn StandbyCue before signing up.
- Mobile polish across the dashboard, editor and prompter.
Spring 2026
- Parallel Sessions — run breakout tracks as full rundowns of their own, mirrored live on one anchor row.
- AI tools — the Wireless Mics planner rigs your headsets for the day, and you can paste an agenda or PDF to have AI build your cues.
- Event timeline, tasks, documents & call sheets, and file attachments per event.
- Seats, roles, one-click ready checks and live cell-change alerts for the whole crew.
- Per-user hidden columns and a full export module on public links.
Earlier in 2026
- Live mode — Go Live cue by cue with the spacebar, shared countdowns, an on-air state and live drift on every screen.
- Smart timing engine — fixed & follow rows, target end-times, buffer rows and section subtotals.
- Teams, events and nested folders, with granular roles and per-column permissions.
- Sharing — read-only links, PIN codes for screens, public edit links for guests, and unlimited free viewers.
- Templates, import from CSV / Excel / paste, and print-ready PDF & CSV export.
