Set up your presets on iPhone. Present with Apple Watch. Stay in control.

Every great presenter knows the feeling: you're mid-story, the audience is with you, and somewhere in the back of your mind a clock is ticking. You resist the urge to check your watch. You push through. Then you run over, or worse, you rush the ending. SilentCue solves this with a language your phone can whisper directly into your pocket. Three distinct haptic signals mark the milestones that actually matter. A single soft nudge at the halfway point. Two quick taps when two minutes remain. A sustained, unmistakable pulse when time is up. Each pattern is built using Apple's CoreHaptics framework, varying intensity, sharpness, and rhythm, so you can read the time by feel alone, even with your iPhone in your jacket pocket and the screen off. No sound. No screen. No broken eye contact. WHO IT'S FOR SilentCue was built for anyone who speaks to a room: keynote speakers, conference presenters, teachers and professors, Toastmasters members, workshop facilitators, public speaking coaches, and anyone who has ever gone seven minutes over. HOW IT WORKS Set your total presentation time (1 to 120 minutes). Press play. Put your phone in your pocket. SilentCue counts down silently in the background and fires each cue at exactly the right moment, even with the screen locked. That's it. WHAT SETS IT APART Every other haptic timer on the market fires a single buzz when the clock hits zero, the same pattern an alarm clock uses. SilentCue is the only app that delivers three semantically distinct signals timed to the arc of a live presentation. You don't just know time is up; you know you're halfway, you know two minutes remain, and you feel a clear, confident close. It's a vocabulary, not just an alarm.
