Klappo

Klappo turns your text into personal cue cards on your iPhone. Prepare and rehearse, then follow your own notes while you speak. The cards are a reading aid for you, whether you are giving a presentation, making a toast or simply following a script. FROM SCRIPT TO CARDS Write or paste your text and let Klappo split it into cards. Follow your paragraph breaks or choose a more even card length. Adjust the preferred length with the slider, then drag dividers to fine-tune where each card ends. FIND YOUR PLACE Mark important cards as chapters. Start from any card, swipe forward or back, and open the card overview to jump to another part of your talk. Chapter buttons help you move between key sections. REHEARSE YOUR DELIVERY A timer runs while you use your cards. Review the total time and time spent on individual cards from your latest practice to see where your talk needs more attention. FOLLOW YOUR NOTES AT YOUR OWN PACE Full-screen cards keep the focus on your words. Long cards can scroll when the text needs more room. Pinch to close the full-screen view and return to editing. KEEP YOUR PREPARATION TOGETHER Save multiple talks and duplicate a deck to try a different version. Your decks are stored on your device and can sync through your personal iCloud account. iCloud sync and sending feedback require an internet connection; text splitting runs on your device. Use Klappo for presentations, meeting notes, pitches, wedding toasts, introductions, scripts or study notes. Designed for iPhone. Requires iOS 17.6 or later.
