Presenters CueWatch

CueWatch is the countdown timer built for people who speak in public. Whether you're keynoting a conference, leading a workshop, presenting at a TEDx event, or running a panel — CueWatch keeps you on time without getting in the way. AT A GLANCE The display is large, high-contrast, and readable in a single blink. No squinting under stage lights. No hunting for the time between slides. Just the number, exactly when you need it. FEEL THE COUNTDOWN CueWatch vibrates at configurable intervals before your time is up — at 10 minutes out, 5 minutes, 2 minutes, and the final minute. You always know where you stand, even when your phone is flat on the lectern and you haven't looked at it in ten minutes. TRACK EVERY OVERRUN When the countdown hits zero, CueWatch doesn't stop — it flips to an overrun counter. You leave every talk knowing exactly how many seconds over you went. Over time, that number gets smaller. USE IT DISCREETLY Keep CueWatch in your hand, flat on a lectern, or propped against a water bottle. One glance is all it takes. It never interrupts your flow or draws attention from the room. CueWatch is a precision countdown timer built for speakers, presenters, and educators. Whether you're at a conference, in a classroom, or on a stage, CueWatch keeps you on time — so you can focus on your audience, not the clock. ――― DESIGNED FOR THE STAGE ――― The display is built to be read in a single glance. Large, high-contrast digits stay readable under harsh stage lighting, from across a room, or with your phone flat on the lectern. Nothing competes for your attention — just the time, exactly when you need it. ――― ALERTS YOU CAN FEEL AND SEE ――― Configure up to four countdown alerts at any interval you choose — common choices include 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes, and time's up. Each alert fires a rich haptic pattern through the Taptic Engine, flashes the screen, and pulses the flashlight. You'll feel every alert even when your phone is in your pocket or face-down on a surface. When you need to stay fully locked in, Lock Screen notifications count down to your alert times so you can check your pocket without opening the app. ――― PRE STAGE MODE ――― The moments before you walk on stage matter. Open Pre Stage from the timer setup screen and see a large live digital clock so you always know the exact time backstage. Set your session start time and choose an alert threshold — 2, 5, 10, or 15 minutes before — and CueTimer watches the clock for you. When your threshold is reached, a countdown ring activates showing exactly how long you have until your session begins. One tap takes you straight into the timer when you're ready to go. ――― BUILT TO RUN AND GET OUT OF THE WAY ――― • Tap a preset — 10, 15, 20, 30, or 45 minutes — or dial in any custom duration • One tap to start • Pause and resume mid-presentation without losing your place • When the clock hits zero, CueTimer automatically switches to an overrun counter so you know exactly how many seconds over you ran • Distance mode enlarges the digits even further for large rooms or outdoor stages • Dark and light mode, both optimized for stage conditions ――― QUIET AND DISCREET ――― CueTimer is designed to be used invisibly. There are no ads, no accounts, no push to rate the app, and no network connection required. It opens to your last-used settings and is ready to start in under a second. Own the room.
