About

PresentTime

Features
Read full description

PresentTime is the presentation timer built for speakers. When you're presenting, you shouldn't have to glance at your watch. PresentTime quietly taps your wrist at the moments that matter, so you can stay focused on your audience and finish on time. HOW IT WORKS • Set your presentation length and tap Start. • Feel a gentle double tap at the halfway point. • As time runs low, the taps grow — three in the last 10 minutes, four in the last 5, five in the final minute. • When time is up, an alarm keeps buzzing until you stop it. WHY PRESENTTIME • Distinct, countable taps — not a single notification you might miss. • Works with your wrist down and the screen off during your talk. • Clean, native design. No account, no clutter. Perfect for conference talks, lectures, pitches, sermons, and timed sessions. PresentTime runs entirely on your Apple Watch — no iPhone required.
