Welcome to Indie App Spotlight, a weekly 9to5Mac series showcasing the latest indie apps. CueFlip is a new iOS app designed to solve a common musician's problem: the need to stop playing to turn the page of sheet music. The app learns how you play a song and then automatically turns pages while listening.
Users can teach it via live rehearsal or a recording, marking the specific turns. Beyond automatic turning, CueFlip includes a built-in music dictionary with over 20,000 terms and translations in up to 13 languages, pulling definitions from scanned scores. A unique feature allows manual page control via Face ID—winking the right eye turns the page forward, while the left eye goes backward.
It also supports external Bluetooth page turners. The app was created by 15-year-old classical guitarist Yuze Pan from Beijing after page turns disrupted his quartet's rehearsals. CueFlip is available for free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad running iOS/iPadOS 16.4 or later.
The free version supports one score with automatic turning, while the Pro tier, priced at $4.99/month or $29.99/year, unlocks unlimited scores, the music dictionary, and wink-to-turn functionality.
