Podium keeps speakers on time—without breaking your flow. Build a talk from timed segments, hit start, and your countdown follows you everywhere: a full-screen podium view you can read from the lectern, your Apple Watch, the Lock Screen, and the Dynamic Island. Color zones shift from green to gold to red as your time runs down, so you feel your pacing without staring at numbers. GLANCE FROM ANYWHERE • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with Pause, Skip, and +1 minute controls • Apple Watch app mirrors the run on your wrist—zone colors, what's next, and a haptic nudge before time's up • Podium mode: a big, glanceable countdown built for the stage BUILT FOR REAL TALKS • Split any talk into timed segments—intro, demo, Q&A—and always see what's next • +1 minute when the room runs long, without losing the thread • Optionally, overrun can keep counting so you know exactly how far past you are Whether you're giving a conference keynote, a sprint demo, a sales pitch, a lightning talk, or running a Toastmasters meeting, Podium helps you land your point and sit down on time.
PresentTime

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.
