Presentempo Presentation Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Presentempo is a presentation timer and speech timer for talks, pitches, lectures and speech clubs. A big countdown with color zones shows section and total time from across the room, and haptic cues on iPhone or Apple Watch tell you when to move on, so you never have to stare at the clock. Start in seconds with Quick Start: countdown, stopwatch, end time or a speech-club traffic light. Green, yellow and red light up at the times you choose, for example after 5, 6 and 7 minutes. In Live mode the whole screen turns the color of the light, a connected watch switches color with a haptic cue at each light, and the result shows which light you finished on. You can also run a built-in format -- pitch, class talk, conference slot, 20 × 20 -- or rehearse a structured talk. A short check before each run shows which cues will reach you. Mark real section changes, see section and total time together, compare planned with actual time, and let a synced watch carry on by itself if the phone disconnects. Runs started on a watch are always practices; start Live runs on the phone. Free is a complete timer: Quick Start with countdown, stopwatch, end time and traffic light, two editable talks with up to five sections each, direct starts from every built-in format, Live and Practice modes, the three newest results, standard cue rules, basic watch execution, and complete data backup, restore and deletion. In Free, single-speaker formats with up to five sections save with standard timing; Pro keeps their smart pacing. Presentempo Pro is an optional one-time purchase, never a subscription. Smart Fit adjusts a talk to a new target while respecting minimums, fixed sections, priorities and a protected ending. A recovery plan proposes future-only cuts when a run falls behind. Pro also unlocks multiple speakers, slide handoffs, cue cards, outline/text and PowerPoint (.pptx) import, the full local Timing Coach, advanced watch controls, custom visual zones, custom haptic/audio cue rules, additional talks and sections, complete history/statistics, and PDF, CSV and text reports. Talk content stays local unless you choose watch sync or export. PowerPoint files are parsed on-device and the working copy is removed after import. No account, advertising or activity-tracking SDK. RevenueCat and the platform store process purchase and restore information. Optional content-free beta counters are off by default and never sent automatically. Eight languages, light/dark/system appearance, responsive layouts and accessibility support.
