CueCard help

Tap + on Home to create a card, then organize talking points, checklists or steps into groups and items. Leave checkboxes off for reading, or turn them on when you want to check things off.

Tap the pencil while reading to edit the whole card, starting at the group you were viewing. Edits save automatically, with undo and redo available. Open Help in Settings for the built-in manual.

Add photos or screenshots while editing an item. Each item can hold up to 3 images.

Switch to Large Images to read text and pictures in order. Tap an image to view it full screen, swipe between images, and zoom in. You can also save to Photos, copy, or share it.

Saving to Photos requires permission to add photos. If you previously denied it, change the permission in iPhone Settings. Selecting an image to add uses the system photo picker and does not require read access to your full photo library.

Tap a group heading to expand or collapse it. Use the outline at the bottom of the reading view to jump to a group.

Open Cards to search or filter by tag. Add a card to favorites from its menu to make it easy to open again from Home.

Jot down a thought in the input on Home before deciding which card it belongs in. Open Quick Capture later to review and organize what you saved.

Quick Capture is excluded from the regular-card count for free card creation.

Ending a Live Activity ends its Lock Screen display. It does not delete your card or clear checkmarks. Starting a Live Activity does not reset them either.

Choose Reset Checkmarks when you want to use a checklist from the beginning. If you only need to read your cues, there is no need to check anything off.

Once every item is checked, choose Save Checklist Record. Open Checklist Records to review results by date or restore a saved result when needed.

Ending a Live Activity does not save a checklist record automatically. Ending the display, saving a record and resetting checkmarks are separate actions.

iCloud Auto Sync is off by default. Enable it in CueCard Settings on each device to store cards, images, and completion history in your private iCloud database and sync between devices using the same Apple Account with the feature enabled. If changes have not appeared, check the switches on both devices, sync status, and your network connection.

Turning sync off stops future automatic sync on that device without deleting its cloud copy. Delete iCloud Copy in Settings removes CueCard cloud data for your current Apple Account and turns sync off, while keeping local data on the current device.

Export from a card’s menu to create a .cuecardbackup file with that card and its images, without completion history. Export all data from Settings to back up all cards, images, and completion records.

Import in Settings reads CueCard .cuecardbackup files and older backups. If an import fails, make sure the file has downloaded completely and has not been modified by another tool.

If the backup contains a card already on your device, it updates that card to the version in the backup and may replace local changes. Other cards are added, along with restored images and new completion records. Consider backing up your current data before importing an older backup. Review the content and recipient before sharing a file.

CueCard supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, and French. Choose a language in Settings or follow the system language.

Check that your iPhone runs iOS 17 or later and that CueCard is allowed to use Live Activities in system Settings. Open a card, tap Lock Screen, and activate the Live Activity after the preview.

Dynamic Island requires a supported iPhone. Display depends on system permissions and state, so it is not guaranteed to stay visible indefinitely. Live Activities show text and checkmarks; view images inside the app.

Set a one-time or recurring reminder. CueCard requests notification permission and schedules a local notification for the chosen time. The notification may show the card title; previews are controlled by system notification settings.

Open the notification, or open CueCard during the scheduled window, to start the matching card. A reminder does not start a Live Activity by itself while the app is closed. Lock Screen display still depends on iOS permissions and system state.

Choose your theme, font and appearance in Settings. Under App Icon, you can also select one of the previous icons that are still available.

Cards, Lock Screen cues, checklists, images, reminders, and Quick Capture are included. Create up to 5 regular cards for free; creating more requires Pro. Quick Capture is excluded from this count.

CueCard Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the limit on creating regular cards. After changing devices or reinstalling, use the same Apple Account you purchased with and choose Restore Purchases in the app. Pricing and applicable terms are shown in the app.
