Early Access
Help shape CueForge
Join the Early Access program to get CueForge at a reduced price, receive all updates during the development period, and directly influence the product direction with your feedback.
What Early Access Means
Software that is still growing
CueForge Early Access gives you the current version of the software at a significantly reduced price. The core show-control features are stable and usable in production, but some advanced capabilities are still being refined.
Your feedback during this period directly influences what we build next. We value the perspective of operators and technical directors who use the software in real productions.
Benefits
What you get
Reduced Price
Early Access pricing is significantly lower than the eventual launch price. Early Access terms are intended to convert to a perpetual license at launch; final terms will be confirmed before launch.
All Updates
Receive every update released during the Early Access period at no additional cost.
Direct Influence
Your feedback and feature requests are prioritized. Help us build the tool you actually need.
Priority Support
Early Access members receive priority email support and faster response times.
Production-Capable Core
Core cue-based show control is stable. Early Access members use CueForge in real productions, with the understanding that some integrations are still being validated.
Future-Proof License
Your Early Access purchase is intended to become a perpetual Operator license when the product officially launches. Final Early Access terms will be confirmed before launch.
Honesty
What to expect
Core show control is stable
Cue families, Edit Mode, Show Mode, triggers, Preflight, the Audio Deep Editor, and Control Mapping are functional and tested.
Some features are still evolving
Advanced automation, hardware integration, and unattended playback modes are on the roadmap and may change.
Pricing may change
Early Access pricing is introductory. The final launch price may be higher, but your purchase remains valid under the Early Access terms.
Your feedback matters
We read every piece of feedback. Bug reports, feature requests, and workflow suggestions all influence development.

FAQ
Common questions about Early Access
Is CueForge available now?
CueForge is currently in private beta (version 0.99.0). The core show-control features are validated in real-application testing, but some advanced capabilities are still being refined. Early Access members get access to the beta and help shape future development.
Is pricing final?
No. Prices shown are indicative and may change before general availability. However, any license purchased at the current price remains valid. We will always honor licenses bought at any price point.
Will launch pricing be available?
Launch pricing is under consideration for several tiers. Early Access members receive a reduced price. When we announce final launch pricing, existing Early Access licenses remain valid — we do not retroactively change terms.
What happens to planned features?
Features marked as Planned or Roadmap are not guaranteed in the current build. They represent our development direction and may change in scope, timing, or priority. We label them clearly so you know what is available today versus what is coming later.
Will there be monthly, yearly, or rental subscriptions?
Yes, they are planned for a later stage. The current pricing draft focuses on perpetual licenses and site/team licensing. Subscription and rental options will be announced separately when the sales system is ready.
Are downloads public yet?
Not yet. Public downloads will be available once the Early Access period transitions to general availability. In the meantime, Early Access members receive download links directly. You can also request a demo or join the Early Access list to be notified.
Can I buy CueForge today?
Not yet. Checkout and payment processing are not implemented. You can request a quote, join Early Access, or contact sales to express interest. We will notify you when sales open.
Which hardware controllers are supported?
Control Mapping receives MIDI, OSC, and HTTP input, and named hardware profiles for the Akai APC Mini MKII (all nine faders, pads, LED feedback), Allen & Heath SQ mixers, and SoundSwitch Control One are implemented. Physical validation is still in progress — test every mapping with your own controller before showtime. MIDI/OSC/HTTP control mapping itself is verified with software senders.
