Hands-free page turning
An AirTurn alternative with nothing to charge
AirTurn pedals are well made and widely used. If you are searching for an alternative, it is usually for one of three reasons: cost, one more battery to manage, or feet that are already occupied. Gesture turning addresses all three.
The functional swap
Where the pedal sends a keystroke, StageMate reads a held blink or head shake. The result on screen is identical, and there is no pairing step to fail before a set.
Keeping your AirTurn
You do not have to choose. StageMate responds to arrow-key input, so the pedal keeps working and gestures cover the moments your foot cannot.
Cost comparison
Gesture turning is free. StageMate Pro is US$11.99/year or US$39.99 lifetime, and that buys iCloud sync, band sharing and unlimited setlists rather than the page turn itself.
Try it on your own scores
Import PDF scores, add annotations, build setlists and turn pages hands-free. StageMate is available for Apple devices and Android. Features, cloud services and Pro purchases differ by platform; check the current plan before buying.

- Is StageMate made by AirTurn?
- No, it is an independent app. AirTurn is a separate hardware company.
- Will my AirTurn pedal work in StageMate?
- Yes, if it is in a standard arrow-key mode.
- Which is more reliable?
- A working, charged, paired pedal is very reliable. Gestures remove the three conditions in that sentence.
