Auto-Scroll Lyrics & Band Jam
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Import a chord sheet PDF and it keeps its spacing. See the next song and its capo between numbers. Color lyrics by singer. Catch setlist problems before the gig.
QMe Prompter is the live performance teleprompter built by a musician, for musicians. Whether you play guitar, sing, or perform in any capacity, QMe keeps your lyrics and chords in front of you so you can focus on the music.
FREE TO TRY: Get 30 days of full access, no credit card required. Free plan includes up to 3 songs.
FEATURES:
Voice-Follow Scrolling: The app listens to your voice and scrolls automatically as you sing.
Auto-Scroll and Tempo Scrolling: Prefer hands free? Let the lyrics roll by tempo, or follow your voice, or step through with a foot pedal. Three scroll modes, your choice per song.
Real-Time Lyrics and Chords: Clean, readable display optimized for stage lighting.
Smart Import: Search AZLyrics directly inside QMe, tap Grab Lyrics, and your song is ready in seconds. Import chord sheets from Ultimate Guitar as a PDF with one tap. AI Clean Up automatically formats everything into a proper chord-over-lyrics chart.
Smart Glasses: Lyrics and chords on your lens, so you look at the room instead of down at a stand. Even Realities G2 works wirelessly, controlled from the temple touchpad or an R1 ring, and keeps showing your setlist even if the venue Wi-Fi drops. XREAL, Viture, RayNeo and Rokid display glasses connect with a single USB-C cable: no pairing, no account, and nothing travelling over a network, so there is nothing to drop out mid-set. They get their own full-size lyric view while your iPad keeps every control. A built-in preview shows you exactly what the glasses display before you buy a pair.
MIDI Control: Connect a Bluetooth keyboard or guitar pedal and QMe switches your sounds and presets for you. Set them per song, change them between sections like a clean verse and a driven chorus, or send them automatically as the songs change in your setlist. MIDI Learn captures a setting straight from your gear, so there are no numbers to memorize.
MIDI Pedal Control: It works the other way too. Drive QMe from a Morningstar MC8, a Behringer FCB1010, or any board that sends Control Change messages. Learn any of six actions to your own buttons, on any MIDI channel, and use it alongside a Bluetooth pedal at the same time.
Backing Tracks: Add an audio file to any song and play along, with your lyrics scrolling in time with the track.
Apple Music Sync: Link a song to its Apple Music track so playback and lyric scrolling stay locked together.
Group Jam: Sync lyrics and chords across your whole band in real time over Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth Foot Pedal: Scroll hands free while you play. Six assignable actions across tap, double tap and hold, so even a two-button pedal reaches all of them.
Apple Watch: Control tempo, rhythm, and navigation from your wrist.
Guitar, Bass and Drum Tuner: A built-in chromatic tuner with real-time pitch detection, plus a full drum tuning suite to dial in every lug.
Transpose and Capo Calculator: Instant key changes for any song.
Metronome and Count-In: Keep perfect time on stage.
Set It Once, Per Song: Tempo, scroll speed, transpose and text size all save to the song and follow you across your devices. No re-dialling a song you already sorted out.
Setlists, Playlists and Books: Organize your songs by gig, venue, set, or into books for any project.
Song Notes and Annotations: Keep performance notes on any song and mark up your chord sheets and tabs with Apple Pencil.
Recordings: Capture your performance as audio or video, with a lyrics overlay on video. Play back, share, or delete your takes.
PDF Import: Import chord sheets and lyrics directly from PDF files.
Web Console: Build and edit your whole library on a real keyboard at qmeprompter.com. Every change syncs straight to your phone and iPad.
Built by a performing guitarist who needed this tool and couldn't find it anywhere else.

more I've been using QMe on my iPad for shows but the web console just changed everything. Sat down at my Mac before rehearsal and built out our entire setlist, imported three PDFs, fixed all the chords — took maybe 20 minutes. Opened the app on my iPad and it was all there. That sync is genuinely seamless. The chord editor on a big screen is so much easier than poking at a tablet. This is how it should work.

Throw my script into QMe, hit record, and the words scroll right over my face on camera. No more dead eyes from reading off to the side. Count-in gives me a sec to get set and it doesn't record the click. Way cheaper than a real teleprompter and I already had my phone.

Ok so the voice tracking thing blew my mind. It listens to you sing and scrolls along automatically. I didn't even have to touch the screen during our whole set. This is insane for live shows.

I'm not super techy but this app is really straightforward. Add a song, paste lyrics, hit play. The interface is clean and I figured everything out without watching a tutorial.

Practice with the record. Link a song to Apple Music and press play, and your lyrics and chords follow the real recording instead of a guessed tempo. Loop the section you keep fluffing and the music loops with you.
Mark where each section starts and QMe paces the song from those marks, so the words hold still through a long intro instead of scrolling away before anyone sings. Those same marks now pace the song when you play free, with no track running.
Rebuilt PDF import. Chords stay above the words they belong to, and lyrics no longer run together. When you import a chart, QMe offers to match it to the recording so you can search as you type and pick the right one.
A cue now appears at the end of a song so you can see the next one coming in your setlist.
A much faster teleprompter, with smoother scrolling on long songs.
Improvements to foot pedal and MIDI control, including clearer setup for assigning your own buttons.
Clearer affiliate program wording, showing exactly what you earn on every referral.

Better PDF import
Chord sheets imported from a PDF now keep their spacing. Lyrics no longer run together, and chord names are no longer split in half. Sheets you save straight from a browser import cleanly too.
While you import, QMe offers to link the Apple Music track in the same step. The search updates as you type, so fixing a title finds the right track straight away.
A cue between songs
When a song ends in a setlist, a card names the next song and shows its capo position as a fretboard you can read in a glance. Tap it when you are ready. It never scrolls away on its own while you are still talking to the room.
Setlist warnings
QMe now flags the things that catch you out on the night: the same singer on too many songs in a row, a tuning or capo change with no gap before it, a song listed twice, or a set that runs short of the time you were booked for.
Colour by singer
Give each section a singer and the lyrics colour by voice, so you can see at a glance whose line is coming next.

Voice Follow tells you when it cannot hear you
Voice Follow needs both Microphone and Speech Recognition, and iOS asks for them separately, so it was easy to have one switched off without knowing. It used to sit there doing nothing. Now it tells you which one is missing and takes you to Settings.
Instrument Filter is on by default
If you sing while playing, the filter that cuts guitar and drums out of the mic is now on from the start, and QMe remembers it if you turn it off.
Songs stop themselves at the end
When the lyrics run out, the scroll stops instead of sitting there still marked as playing. Any backing track keeps going, so an outro is not cut short.
G2 glasses: steadier scrolling
The app now tells the glasses how long each line will hold, so they no longer have to work it out for themselves. Lyrics no longer jump at the start of a song or at a section change, and restarting a song behaves the same as picking one fresh.
G2 glasses: section markers
A + marks the first line of each section, so you can see a chorus or bridge coming without looking down at your iPad.
New on the web: Glasses Preview
At qmeprompter.com you can now see exactly how any song will look on your G2 lens before you play it, and it flags lines that will wrap or chords that will not fit.
1.27 Aug 19
FIXED: VIDEO RECORDING UPSIDE DOWN ON IPAD
Recording with the iPad flat on a table or angled in a stand produced upside-down video. In those positions iOS reports no clear orientation and QMe assumed portrait. Landscape recording is now correct too. The camera preview also holds its orientation while recording, matching the video: a video file has a single orientation for its whole length, so a take cannot change direction partway through. Set the iPad how you want it before you press record.
SMART GLASSES: CHORDS INSIDE THE LYRIC
A new option shows chords in the lyric itself rather than on a row above it, so each chord stays attached to the word it belongs to. Turn it on in Profile, G2 Glasses, Even Realities G2. Off by default.
SMART GLASSES: ONE DEVICE AT A TIME
If you are signed in on two devices, both used to send lyrics to the glasses at once and fight over them. Now the glasses follow whichever device claimed them, and any other device offers to take over rather than interrupting. Pairing still syncs everywhere as before.
SMART GLASSES: PAUSE
The glasses now show PAUSE when you pause, instead of staying on PLAYING. Previously the iPad never told the glasses you had stopped.
1.26 Aug 17
Smart glasses, wired or wireless
QMe now works with XREAL, Viture, RayNeo and Rokid display glasses alongside the Even Realities G2. These connect with a single USB-C cable and get their own full-size lyric view, big text with chords above the words, while your iPad keeps every control. No pairing, no account, and nothing travelling over wifi or bluetooth, so there is nothing to drop out mid-set. Needs a USB-C port that carries video: USB-C iPad Pro, several iPad Air and mini models, and iPhone 15 onward.
Don't own a pair yet? Glasses Mode now has a Preview button that shows exactly what the glasses would display, on the device you already have.
Control QMe from your MIDI pedal board
Drive the teleprompter from a Morningstar MC8, a Behringer FCB1010, or any controller that sends Control Change messages. All six pedal actions can be learned to your own buttons, and QMe listens on every MIDI channel so a board that gets re-channelled between gigs keeps working. A diagnostics panel shows every message received and what it did, so a silent pedal is easy to trace. Works alongside a Bluetooth pedal at the same time.
Tempo and scroll speed now save per song
Set the BPM or the scroll speed on a song and it is there every time you open it, on every device signed into your account. No more re-dialling a song you already sorted out.
Tell us what you think
A new Leave Feedback button on the home screen sends bug reports and feature requests straight to the person who builds QMe, with your device and version details already filled in. Plus a Rate QMe option in Profile.
Also fixed
Restart now works mid-song without pausing first, and leaves you paused at the top if you were already paused. The section rail can be hidden for more lyric width. Song MIDI now fires whenever a song opens, not only from a setlist.
1.25 Aug 14
Flick to scroll
Flicking the lyrics now glides the way it should, travelling further the harder you flick, and a tap stops it wherever you are. Getting back to a spot mid-song is much quicker. Previously the scroll stopped dead the moment you lifted your finger.
Restart fixed
The restart button now returns you to the top cleanly while a song is playing, instead of drifting back a line and carrying on. It also stays paused if you were paused, where before it would start playing on its own.
Hide the section list
A new Sections button in the teleprompter settings hides the section list on the right, giving your lyrics the full width of the screen. Your choice is remembered.
Your sort order sticks
The song list remembers how you sorted it, so you don't have to set it again every time you open the app.
1.23 Aug 12
Song MIDI fires when you open a song
A song's MIDI commands now send as soon as it opens on the teleprompter, whether you got there from a setlist, a search, or your library. Previously they only fired automatically when opening from a setlist with "Send MIDI on Song Change" enabled, so you had to tap the MIDI button by hand. Now your rig is set before you play a note, and you can check it visually first.
Per-song text size now suits every device
A song's text size is remembered as a relationship to your normal size rather than a fixed size, so a song you shrink on your iPad looks proportionally smaller on your iPhone instead of oversized. Change your usual size and every song moves with it, keeping your dense songs comfortably smaller.
Search fixes
Searching no longer fails when autocorrect adds a space to the end of your text — previously that could hide a song whose title ended with the word you typed. The search on the Home screen also now ignores apostrophes, so "dont" finds "Don't" there as it already did elsewhere.
1.22 Aug 11
Chords stay aligned when lines wrap
Long lyric lines used to push their chords out of position once the text wrapped. Now a long line splits at the wrap point and each chord moves down with the words it belongs to, so chords sit over the right word on every row, at any text size.
Every song remembers its own transpose and text size
Transpose a song once and it stays transposed the next time you open it, just like BPM. Text size can also be set per song — songs with dense lines can run smaller without changing your other songs.
Even Realities G2 improvements
The glasses display is decluttered: tab blocks, separators, chord diagrams, blank lines and section headers no longer take up space on the lens — every row is lyrics and chords. Transposed songs now show their transposed chords on the glasses, matching the iPad. And the foot pedal's glasses advance is tuned for the cleaner display.
Plus
Pinch-to-zoom no longer snaps back after a large pinch — the size you see is the size you keep.
1.20 Aug 8
Smooth scrolling, properly this time
The last update promised smoother auto-scroll and didn't fully deliver it. This one rebuilds how scrolling works from the ground up. The lyrics now move at a genuinely constant speed — no more advancing in hops, no slowing down and pausing between lines, and the height of each line no longer affects the pace.
Hitting pause now freezes the lyrics exactly where they are, instead of sliding on or jumping to the nearest line.
A real speed range
The speed slider now runs from a near-standstill crawl on the left, through your song's exact tempo at the centre, up to double tempo on the right — and the whole range works, not just the top half. The readout shows the speed as a multiplier of your tempo, like 0.75× or 1.5×.
Thanks to the musicians who kept testing and reporting until this was right.
1.19 Aug 6
Smoother auto-scroll
Auto-scroll now moves continuously. Previously it advanced a line and then sat still until the next line was due, which read as the prompter pausing at random. The scroll timing and the movement timing were calculated separately and didn't agree with each other. They now match, so the lyrics glide rather than stutter.
Stop means stop
Hitting pause used to let the movement already underway finish first, which at slower speeds could keep scrolling for several seconds after you'd stopped. It now stops immediately, wherever you are.
Drag to move your place
You can now drag the lyrics with your finger to move your position in the song. The section list follows along as you drag, so you can see where you're going to land, and wherever you let go becomes your new place. If the song was scrolling it carries on from there. Previously dragging only moved your view and snapped back to where you were.
Speed slider now runs the right way
The auto-scroll speed slider was reversed, with faster on the left. It now runs slower on the left and faster on the right. Your current speed is unchanged; only the direction of the control has flipped.
1.18 Aug 5
Chord alignment
Chords now sit directly above the word they are played on.
QMe has always stored the exact position of every chord in your songs, but the teleprompter was ignoring it and spreading the chords evenly across the line instead. On songs with a lot of chord changes that meant a chord could drift a word or two away from the syllable it belongs to. It now lands exactly where your song says it should.
Chord lines that carry no position, such as a simple list like "Am F C G", are still spread across the line as before, so nothing changes for those songs.
Even Realities G2
Chord positions are now passed through to the glasses. This lays the groundwork for an upcoming G2 plugin update that shows each chord above the words it is played on, instead of in a single row at the top of the display.
1.17 Aug 4
What's New in 1.15.0
Smoother setlist swipes. Changing songs mid-performance is now faster and more reliable. Swipes register right away, even slower, deliberate ones, so you stay in flow during a show.
Improved tuner. More accurate and responsive pitch detection for quicker, more confident tuning.
Thanks for using QMe. Keep the feedback coming.
1.15 Jun 23
Big update for Even Realities G2 smart glasses:
• Switch setlists from your glasses. Back out of the song list to browse all your setlists and jump into any of them mid-show.
• Your phone now stays awake while the prompter is open, so glasses controls always respond during a performance.
• Voice follow on the glasses now flips to the next line as you finish singing the current one, so the lyrics stay ahead of you.
• Pick a song while your phone is locked and the glasses load it from their offline setlist copy. The show goes on.
• Fixes a bug where unlocking your phone could jump the prompter to a different song.
Setlist switching from the glasses requires QMe Prompter plugin v1.7.0, rolling out now on the Even Realities store.
1.14 Jun 10

1.13.0 Jun 2
Backing Tracks are here.

What's new:
• Import any audio file as a per-song backing track
• Lyrics scroll in sync with playback
• Play, pause, restart and count-in straight from the teleprompter
• Switch between Apple Music, your backing track, or off from one simple source menu

1.12.2 May 31
Improvements for G2 glasses and on-stage settings:
- New "Reset Pairing" button on the Glasses screen. If your Even Realities G2 glasses get stuck on "Linked" with no lyrics, one tap recovers the connection without reinstalling anything.
- Count-in toggle, dark mode, and font size now stay set across app launches. No more re-doing your stage setup every time you open the app.
- Improved background sync so lyric updates reach your glasses more reliably during long performances.
- Behind-the-scenes fixes for better stability between QMe and your G2 glasses.
As always, feedback welcome at support@qmeprompter.com — happy performing.
1.11.1 May 29
Version 1.10.2 Your songs, in your glasses.
QMe Prompter now runs on Even Realities G2 smart glasses. After months of work, the official QMe plugin is live in the Even Hub store. Build your song library on your iPhone the way you always have, then put on your G2s and your lyrics and chords scroll in front of your eyes, line by line, while your hands stay where they belong: on the guitar, on the keys, on the mic.
What this looks like in practice:
Browse and pick songs from any of your setlists, right from the glasses menu.
Auto-play means picking a song on the glasses starts playback hands-free.
Lyrics scroll with chords above the line, exactly like the iPhone view.
Your QMe live tuner now bridges to the glasses, so you can see pitch and cents without breaking eye contact with the room.
Count-in support if you need a moment to get ready.
One pairing, then it just works for every song after that.
Built for cover gigs, worship sets, open mics, songwriting sessions, and rehearsing new material. The glasses are subtle enough that audiences usually do not even notice. You play with your eyes up.
Also new in this release:
Smoother scrolling on G2: a real-time guard prevents your local scroll position from being clobbered while the iPhone is syncing.
Faster startup and lighter battery use on the glasses.
Tuner-to-glasses bridge now activates automatically whenever the QMe tuner is running.
Hands-free song selection: pick a song on the glasses and playback starts on its own.
A handful of bug fixes for chord spacing, setlist navigation, and the recording save flow.
30-day free trial of QMe Pro for anyone who wants to take it all for a spin.
A note from the developer:
QMe is built by one musician who got tired of staring at a tablet on a music stand. If something feels off or you want a feature, hit the support link inside the app and write to me directly. I read every message and most fixes ship within a week.
Happy playing.
1.10.3 May 24
Library organization, redesigned.
NEW: Books
Group your songs into books for each gig, set, or service. Wedding Set, Sunday Service, Cover Band, Acoustic Night — whatever fits how you play. Tap a book to filter your library to just those songs. Each book gets a color and an icon you choose.
NEW: Color Tags
Tag any song with one of six colors. Filter your library by color with a single tap. Use them however you want: by tempo, by difficulty, by mood, by who sings lead.
Both features sync instantly between your iPad and the web console at qmeprompter.com. Books you create on the web appear on your iPad. Tags you set on iPad show up on the web. Always in sync, always ready.
Plus: an in-app tutorial walks you through the new features the first time you open the Songs tab.
Thanks for using QMe Prompter. Keep the gigs coming.
