No longer do you have to pull yourself away from your audience to check the time. You no longer have to ask, "How am I doing for time?" nor, "How much time do I have left?" In theatre, stage actors can never break the 4th wall. The 4th wall is the imaginary wall between the actor and the audience. Professional Speakers have the same limitation. Every time you look at your watch or run to the lectern to check your time, you pull yourself from the audience and their needs. You are essentially going from "I am being of service to you!" to "I am up here doing my job - and oh, yea, I have 5 minutes left!" You can set Speaker Presentation Timer and the Pro Speaker Presentation Timer to prompt individual components of your speech and stealthily vibrate in your pocket (or on your watch) as you reach your critical sections. With Pro Speaker Presentation Timer, only you will know you're on stage with a job to do.

TalkMap helps you prepare, organize, and consult speech outlines as simple, visual, and practical mind maps. Instead of writing a full script that can be hard to follow, create a structured outline with keywords, short ideas, and clear branches. Each idea becomes a node that you can move, edit, color, collapse, or expand depending on the way you prepare. TalkMap is designed for anyone who wants to speak naturally from a clear outline: talks, presentations, teaching, meetings, public speaking, personal study, or structured notes. Create your outline, organize your thoughts, then switch to Stage Mode to consult your map in a read-only view during your presentation. Stage Mode uses a comfortable dark interface and includes a built-in timer to help you stay aware of your speaking time. Key features: • Create outlines as visual mind maps • Organize ideas into nodes and sub-ideas • Quickly edit each idea • Move nodes visually on the canvas • Use colors to distinguish sections • Collapse branches to simplify your view • Use the Outline panel to browse your structure • Present with a read-only Stage Mode • Track your speaking time with the built-in timer • Automatic local saving • Import and export outlines as JSON files • Import outlines from Word DOCX files • Clean, modern interface with dark mode support TalkMap works locally: your outlines are saved on your device. You keep a simple, personal workspace for preparing talks without depending on an online account. Whether you are preparing a speech, a presentation, or a structured talk, TalkMap helps you turn your ideas into a visual outline that is easier to remember and more comfortable to use.
