About

LiveIntercom

Features
Read full description

Live Intercom is a team push-to-talk and live-event intercom built for production crews โ€” live events, broadcast, theater, and multi-room coordination. Each crew member signs in to their team's server, joins a live event, and gets a matrix of audio channels they can listen to, talk on, or push-to-talk on. Audio is delivered in real time over WebRTC for low-latency, reliable communication. CHANNEL MODES - Off: muted, no audio in or out - Listen: hear the channel without transmitting - Talk: hear and transmit with an always-on open mic - PTT: hear and transmit only while holding the on-screen push-to-talk button KEY FEATURES - Multi-channel audio matrix so you can monitor several channels at once - Push-to-talk and open-mic talk modes per channel - Background audio: keep listening to the cue channel while your phone is locked or another app is in the foreground - iPhone Action Button and Shortcuts support to trigger push-to-talk hands-free - Bluetooth and AirPods support for routing call audio through your headset - QR-code or email sign-in to your team's self-hosted server BUILT FOR PRODUCTION TEAMS Live Intercom is designed for the people running the show โ€” stage managers, directors, talent, and crew who need to stay coordinated in real time. It is not a consumer messaging app and includes no ads and no user tracking. A team server is required to use Live Intercom.

You remembered the question you wanted to ask on the drive home. Too late. Again. Next Time fixes that. It makes sure you remember when you see someone, not after. Next Time is a small notebook for the people in your life. When something comes to you, write it down in seconds: a thing to tell someone, ask them, bring them, or remember about them. Next time you see them, it's all there. Add a date or a reminder if you want one. Or don't. Some things just need a place to live. Ask how the move went. Bring back the slippers. Every note belongs to someone, so before a coffee, a call or a 1:1, one glance at their page tells you what you wanted to say. And once it's done, cross it out. About is the one that stays: the small facts that make someone who they are. Their allergies, the coffee order, the dog called Biscuit. It never gets marked done. It just grows. Private by design. No account, no sign-up. Your notes live in your own iCloud, sync between your devices, and never reach me. Lock the app if you like. Made by someone who still forgets to ask that one thing. But is working on it. Terms: https://thenexttime.app/terms Privacy: https://thenexttime.app/privacy
