Hands-free page turning
A Bluetooth page turner alternative with no hardware at all
A Bluetooth page turner is a solved problem with three annoying edges: batteries, pairing, and one more thing in the gig bag. StageMate replaces the pedal with gestures your device can already see, so the score turns whether you are seated at a piano or standing with a guitar.
Why pairing is the weak link
Bluetooth pedals drop, sleep, or connect to the wrong iPad in a room full of them. A camera gesture has no pairing step, so the setup that worked in rehearsal behaves identically on stage.
For players whose feet are busy
Organists, drummers and anyone on a volume or sustain pedal cannot spare a foot. Blink and head-shake turning frees the pedal board entirely, which is the main reason accessibility-focused players choose it.
Keep the pedal if you like it
StageMate responds to standard arrow-key input, so an AirTurn or PageFlip still works. Many players use the pedal for rehearsal and gestures when the stage is cramped.
