## What is negotimer?

Short pitches almost always run long.

You asked for three minutes each. Five minutes in, the next speaker is getting nervous, the Q&A gets cut, and the last few presenters end up rushing. Meanwhile the host keeps resetting a phone stopwatch and trying to catch someone's eye. negotimer takes that job off your hands.

■ Pitch, questions, and changeover — as one flow

Set the appeal time, the question time, and the gaps you want between speakers and between questioners once, then just press start. negotimer moves through the phases on its own and repeats them for everyone in the room. A beep at ten seconds left, a 3-2-1 countdown, an end alarm. The background colour shifts as time runs down, so a speaker only has to glance at the screen. No one has to interrupt to announce the time.

Question time works three ways: Individual, giving each questioner their own slot; Shared, one block of time for the group; or None, to skip Q&A entirely. Pick whichever matches your format.

In Individual mode you can leave a few seconds between questioners, so handing over the microphone doesn't eat into the next person's slot. The gap between speakers is set separately.

You can save as many run sheets as you like. Name them — "Networking: 3-min pitch", "Meetup: lightning talk" — and call one up with a single tap on the day.

■ Recordings arrive already split by speaker (Pro)

Record in sync with the timer and you get one audio file per speaker, covering their pitch and their Q&A, split automatically. No scrubbing through a single long recording looking for where each talk began.

Hand those files to the AI service you already use, and you can turn them into minutes or summaries for each talk — ready not long after the event ends.

Please note: negotimer does not include AI features. For transcription and summarisation, use the generative AI service you subscribe to. This app's job is to hand you audio in a shape that's easy to pass along.

While recording, "REC" shows on screen. Recording continues when you switch apps or turn the screen off.

Recordings are stored only on your device and are never sent to our servers. Sharing and deleting are entirely up to you. Please tell participants when you are recording.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-25

· Added ad privacy settings for people in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. You can change your choice any time from Settings.
· Permission prompts, such as the one for the microphone, now appear in your device's language.
· The countdown from ten seconds is now readable in dark mode.
· Fixed labels being cut off on the edit screen at larger text sizes.
· Error messages now clear as soon as you correct the input.
· Fixed a delay of a few seconds before the first cue sound of a session.
· Fixed recordings sometimes falling out of order after a deletion.
· Fixed the timer running twice if you tapped Start repeatedly.
· The timer is no longer thrown off by the device clock changing while it runs.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-20

· The screen no longer turns off on its own while the timer is running. It stays on while paused too, so you can leave the phone on the table and keep the remaining time in view.
· The finish screen now shows the app logo and name, and a subtle label appears just above the progress bar while waiting and counting down.
· Fixed the finish screen being shifted to the left. In landscape it is now split into two columns, so "Back to List" is visible without scrolling.
· Fixed setting values being cut off at the right edge when the device is set to a larger text size.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-19

· The launch screen now matches the app's colors, so you no longer see a white flash on startup.
· Added English for the App Store listing, shown when your device language is English.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-17

・端末の文字サイズを大きくしていると、タイマー画面の見出しと数字が右端で切れることがある不具合を修正しました。

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-15

・質問者どうしの交代時間を設定できるようにしました（既定5秒・0でなし）。個別の質問タイムで、マイクを渡す数秒が次の質問者の持ち時間を削りません。
