k5e Cue runs your karaoke night's queue from a browser on your laptop, alongside the karaoke player you already use. Singers request songs from their phones, the rotation keeps it fair, and the room screen shows who's up.
By invitation, free during the soft launch.

Name the night, pick the venue and choose the rotation: round robin, one song per singer each round, or fixed slots that give every singer a seat for the whole night.
Turn on singer notifications, set an entry fee or show a “Tip your host” card. Singers pay you directly by Venmo, or cash if you allow it; k5e doesn't handle the money.
Open the Display on the projector or TV. It shows the song that's on, who's up next, and the event code with a QR code to join.
It keeps up on its own as you run the queue.
Requests land in the rotation as singers send them. Cue doesn't play the tracks yet: you cue each song in your karaoke player as usual, then hit Next in Cue.
Drag a song to change the order, and Restore order puts the rotation back. Add walk-ins and request songs for them.
With notifications on, singers who opted in get a notification when their turn is coming up.
When the night ends, the Summary shows how it went: how many songs were sung, how long singers waited, the pace and the crowd, with charts of arrivals, songs per hour and the wait.
From your second night at a venue you've set up in Cue, it sets each night against your earlier ones there.

k5e runs live karaoke nights. Singers use k5e Spot on their phone to get in line, request songs and see when they’re up. Hosts use k5e Cue to run the queue, the rotation and the screen for the room.
Hosting with k5e is by invitation during the soft launch. Request host access opens an email to [email protected] with a short template: your name, your venue and city, how often you host, what you use today, where your song library comes from, and whether you want the desktop app or k5e Player. We’ll get back to you. Already hosting with k5e? Sign in at cue.k5e.live.
No download. Singers use k5e Spot in their phone’s browser with a free Spot account. They can make one before the night, or at the venue after scanning the QR code on your room screen.
Singers search the song catalogs on your event, and you can let them type in songs that aren’t in a catalog. During the soft launch we set up your catalog with you, so tell us where your song library comes from in your host-access email.
Straight to you. If you set an entry fee, singers pay it by Venmo, or in cash if you allow it. With tips on, they see a Tip your host card that goes to your Venmo. k5e doesn’t process or verify payments.
A laptop with a modern browser and an internet connection for Cue, and a TV or projector for the room screen. Cue needs the internet for the whole night: a short Wi-Fi drop isn’t a problem, but if the venue’s connection goes down for good, switch the laptop to another one, such as your phone’s hotspot. Singers use their own phones. Cue doesn’t play the music yet, so your karaoke player keeps playing the tracks; k5e Player, coming soon, will play them under Cue’s control.
A k5e Spot account is free for singers. Hosting with k5e Cue is free during the soft launch.
k5e Spot is made for phones: iPhone and iPad in Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox, and Android in Chrome. k5e Cue runs in a modern browser on a laptop or desktop, with the room screen on a TV or projector.
Hosting is free during the soft launch, by invitation for now. Tell us about your venue and your nights.
