We stripped away unnecessary elements and focused on simplicity, beauty, and ease of use. Main functions ● Equipped with two modes : Stopwatch / Timer When you want to know how long it will actually take to practice your presentation, use the Stopwatch mode. And use a timer to measure the time of the actual presentation. ● Full screen display to support the presenter When you want to inform the presenter of the remaining time from the audience during the presentation, you can turn your iPhone or iPad screen sideways to maximize the time display. ● "Auto Bell" function that automatically rings the bell at the specified time When you want to ring the bell few minutes before the end of the presentation, you can ring the bell automatically with this function. Also, you can set the bell sound as you like.
