What if I wear glasses?

Glasses generally work fine. Heavy glare from stage lighting can reduce accuracy — angle the device slightly.

Does it work with contact lenses or dry eyes?

Yes, though frequent involuntary blinking means you should increase the required hold duration.

Is blink turning free?

Yes, it is part of the free tier.

Blink to turn pages — the mechanics

Blink turning sounds risky until you understand what the app is actually looking for. It is not "an eye closed"; it is a specific, held pattern that natural blinking does not produce.

Deliberate vs involuntary

A reflex blink lasts roughly a tenth of a second. StageMate requires a longer, sustained closure — and you set how long — so ordinary blinking during a passage is ignored.

One eye or two

Depending on your settings you can use a full blink or a single-eye wink, which is useful for players who blink often under stage lights.

Privacy by design

The camera feed is processed frame by frame on-device and thrown away. Nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded, and there is no face template stored anywhere.
