Talklight keeps every talk on time. Set green, yellow and red at the minutes you choose, give the speaker a screen they can read from the back of the room, and run it from your seat On stage • Three looks: full-screen color, colored digits on black, or color only to use the screen as timing lights. • Counts down or up. After time's up it stays red and counts the overrun as +m:ss. • Tap anywhere to start. The controls fade while the clock runs and the screen stays awake. • A touch lock ignores stray taps on the lectern. • +1 and −1 move the end by a minute, and the color cues move with it. Touch and hold for 10 seconds, 30 seconds or 5 minutes. • A progress bar with a mark at each cue, the time of day and a flash at zero, each of them optional. • A chime or bell and a vibration at each cue. Sound follows the silent switch unless you tell it not to. • A color-blind palette: blue, yellow and orange. Timers • Starts simple with three timers: a club speech, a lightning talk and a conference talk. Templates add evaluations, pitches, sermons and more in one tap. • Add as many of your own as you like, from 5 seconds to 24 hours, each with its own cues, look and sound. • Quick-start lengths from 1 to 20 minutes, any custom length, or a timer that ends at a clock time, such as 8:30. For timekeepers • Qualifying time windows with a grace period, judged in whole seconds: each run is marked qualified, under time or over time. • History keeps every run with the speaker's name and the actual time. • Share the day's timer's report as plain text in one tap, ready to read out at a speech club or paste into the group chat. Control it from your seat • Put an iPad on the lectern as the display and control it from your iPhone: start, pause, add time and move to the next speaker. • The two devices connect to each other directly over Wi-Fi or peer-to-peer, with a four-digit code. No internet, no account, no server. • If the link drops, the display keeps counting and the remote reconnects by itself. • Message the speaker: "Please wrap up", "One minute left" or anything you type, with an optional blink to catch their eye. Run of show • Line up a meeting or a session with a timer and a name for each speaker. • On stage, Next and Previous move through the lineup and "Up next" shows who follows. • Every talk lands in History for the report. On every screen • TV or projector: connect an HDMI adapter or use AirPlay. The big screen shows only the clock while your device keeps the controls. • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Pocket alerts: lock your iPhone and put it away. A time-sensitive notification arrives at each color change, and an Apple Watch turns it into a tap on your wrist. Built to be trusted • Time is measured from the clock, not counted in ticks, so it stays right through rotation, locking and switching apps. A started run even survives the app being closed. • Your timers and history stay on your devices. A second device connects to this one directly, never through a server. Made for speech-club timekeepers, conference and event organizers, AV crews, pastors, teachers, debate coaches and anyone rehearsing a talk. Talklight is free: every feature, no ads, no account, no subscription. If it has kept a talk on time, there is an optional tip jar. Tips unlock nothing.
