Cue is built on Chromium, so every site works the way it does in Chrome. On top of that it adds a volume knob on every tab, your personal and school logins side by side, split views, and a clean stage window to share in Zoom, Meet or OBS.
A practical setup
A free browser for creators: ads and trackers blocked, a volume knob on every tab, two logins side by side, split views and an On Air stage for Zoom and OBS.
Install Cue for Mac, Windows or Linux and sign in to the accounts you already use.
Put your personal and school logins side by side, and set a volume for each tab.
Use the On Air stage when you share a window in Zoom or OBS.
Before you begin
Free public download for Mac, Windows and Linux. Cue is built on Chromium. The On Air stage is the window you choose to share.
A free browser for creators: ads and trackers blocked, a volume knob on every tab, two logins side by side, split views and an On Air stage for Zoom and OBS.
The same filter lists Brave and uBlock use, on by default, with the number blocked on the page you are reading shown in the address bar. Cue also stops sites reported for carrying a virus or copying a real sign-in page, and tells you which it is in words you can act on.
Hover the speaker on any tab and drag. A tab that is too loud comes down without touching the page, and starting one video pauses the other tab that was playing.
Personal and school logins live in separate containers, so two Gmails and two Instagrams stay signed in at once. Vanish tabs keep nothing on disk.
Cue a tab, press TAKE, and it appears in the Cue Stage window at 1920x1080. Share that one window in Zoom, Meet or OBS and nobody watches you hunt for tabs.
Two side by side, top and bottom, three columns or a grid of four, with synced scrolling. Teach, Create, Business and Build each keep their own tabs, login and layout.
A local, token-protected door and an MCP server let Claude Code and Codex open tabs, read, click and type using your logins, while private tabs and the tab that is on air stay out of reach. Every call is logged.
Speed without changing pitch, A-B loop and transpose on any video. Whole-page pictures, GIFs, timestamp links and frame grabs. Colour picker, palette, font finder and Boards that keep every image's source.
Cue is free and open source under GPL-3.0, for Apple silicon Macs on macOS 13 or later. It was built and tested on one studio Mac. It is Chromium through Electron, not our own browser engine yet, so passkeys are not available and Chrome extensions that rely on Chrome's own toolbar may not work. The Windows and Linux builds come from GitHub Actions and are not code-signed.
Release notes and early build calls for this product.
Yes, by default, with the same filter lists Brave and uBlock use, including the ones that hide cookie notices. The shield in the address bar shows how many were stopped on the page you are on, and lets one site through if it breaks. Cue also keeps a list of sites reported in the last few days for handing out malware or phishing for passwords, and stops those with an explanation.
Cue is Chromium, the same engine as Chrome, so sites behave the way they do in Chrome. Move In brings over bookmarks, history, open tabs, passwords and sign-ins from Helium, Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc, and bookmarks from Safari. Your old browser is left untouched.
In your Mac's own keychain, per login, with optional auto sign-in for a site you choose. Passwords are never filled in a Vanish tab or in a tab an AI agent is driving.
No. The agent door is on your own machine, needs a token, and cannot touch private tabs, Cue's own pages or the tab that is on air. Every call it makes is written to a log you can read.
Yes, free and open source under GPL-3.0. The code is public at github.com/jasonzacmusic/cue.
Play supported video and audio, study MIDI and scores, open interactive HTML files, create practice loops, and prepare an OBS scene for teaching.
Save permitted video or audio, choose stills, clips and GIFs, and make practice copies with on-device transcripts in one Mac app.
