Will normal blinking flip my page?

No. A page turn requires a deliberate, slightly longer blink, and you can raise or lower the threshold in settings.

Does it work in low stage light?

On devices with a TrueDepth camera, ARKit tracking uses depth data, so it holds up in dim light much better than a plain video approach.

Can I still swipe or use a pedal?

Yes — gestures are an addition. Tap, swipe and Bluetooth pedals that send arrow keys keep working.

Hands-free page turning

An auto page turner that lives inside your sheet music app

Most "automatic" page turners are a piece of hardware you buy, charge, pair and pack. StageMate does the same job with the camera that is already on your iPad, iPhone, M-chip Mac or Vision Pro: a deliberate blink, a nod or a head shake moves the score forward while both hands stay on the instrument.

How the detection works

The front camera feeds Apple's Vision and ARKit face-tracking frameworks on-device. StageMate looks for an intentional, slightly held gesture rather than a natural blink, and sensitivity is adjustable so a nervous performer and a still one can both use the same setting.

Nothing leaves the device

Frames are analysed in memory and discarded. No photo, no video, no face template is stored, uploaded or used for anything besides deciding whether to turn the page — which also means the feature works in a venue with no signal.

What it costs

Gesture page turning is in the free tier along with PDF and image import, metadata extraction, Apple Pencil annotation and the built-in tuner. Pro (US$11.99/year, $1.99/month, or US$39.99 once) adds iCloud sync, band sharing and unlimited setlists.

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.
