How On Cue Music Player works

Three jobs. One soundtrack.

On Cue Music Player has three jobs: help you build a route, ride that route hands-free, and stay out of your way the rest of the time. Here is how each one works.

Location-Based Music Playback

Tired of manually skipping songs during workouts? With On Cue, your music switches automatically when you reach pre-set GPS locations.

  • Set your own 'music moments' along your route
  • Customize how close you need to be (5–30 meters)
  • Smart cooldowns prevent rapid-fire song changes
  • Runs in the background, even when the app is closed
