Keep a shorter talk ready Time Cuts helps you choose optional cues, check a time budget and save a separate shorter deck. Rehearse, present or export the new deck while preserving the original. • Open any deck → Time Cuts. • Set the target, speaking pace and pause per cue, then switch off optional speaking cues. • Review the estimate and save a shorter deck. Open the copy from the library to rehearse, present or export. Time is estimated from cue words plus pauses, not measured speech. It excludes improvisation, questions and applause. Empty section headings are removed. Notes, order and deck settings carry into the independent copy; check transitions before presenting. Stage Cards turns your iPhone or iPad into a stack of big, swipeable cue cards for live speaking. It is built for toasts, vows, sermons, eulogies, stand-up sets, sales pitches, conference talks, and any moment where you need to look up and land the words. This is not a scrolling video teleprompter. Stage Cards gives you discrete cue cards you flip one at a time, with private notes you reveal only when you hold the screen. VERSION 2.4 BEAT SPLIT Beat Split is unique to this app. It cuts a dense cue card at sentence and clause boundaries so you can glance one idea at a time. It does not score a deck. If every speakable card is already one glance, the plate says so. You can copy the proposed beats or apply them to the deck. Prep Desk remains the readiness score: timing, long-card flags, note coverage, run-of-show, and a rehearsal ladder. CORE STAGE TOOLS - Auto-sizing cards that fill the screen - One-handed tap zones and horizontal swipes - Hold-to-reveal private notes - Pure-black presenter with progress, card counter, and optional timer - Section cards, templates, rehearsal, and PDF/text export PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ads, analytics, or tracking. Decks stay on this device. The app works offline. Stage Cards is a writing, rehearsal, and presentation utility. It does not provide medical, legal, financial, or professional advice.
