Read full description

Presentempo is a presentation timer and speech timer for talks, pitches, lectures and speech clubs. A big countdown with color zones shows section and total time from across the room, and haptic cues on iPhone or Apple Watch tell you when to move on, so you never have to stare at the clock. Start in seconds with Quick Start: countdown, stopwatch, end time or a speech-club traffic light. Green, yellow and red light up at the times you choose, for example after 5, 6 and 7 minutes. In Live mode the whole screen turns the color of the light, a connected watch switches color with a haptic cue at each light, and the result shows which light you finished on. You can also run a built-in format -- pitch, class talk, conference slot, 20 × 20 -- or rehearse a structured talk. A short check before each run shows which cues will reach you. Mark real section changes, see section and total time together, compare planned with actual time, and let a synced watch carry on by itself if the phone disconnects. Runs started on a watch are always practices; start Live runs on the phone. Free is a complete timer: Quick Start with countdown, stopwatch, end time and traffic light, two editable talks with up to five sections each, direct starts from every built-in format, Live and Practice modes, the three newest results, standard cue rules, basic watch execution, and complete data backup, restore and deletion. In Free, single-speaker formats with up to five sections save with standard timing; Pro keeps their smart pacing. Presentempo Pro is an optional one-time purchase, never a subscription. Smart Fit adjusts a talk to a new target while respecting minimums, fixed sections, priorities and a protected ending. A recovery plan proposes future-only cuts when a run falls behind. Pro also unlocks multiple speakers, slide handoffs, cue cards, outline/text and PowerPoint (.pptx) import, the full local Timing Coach, advanced watch controls, custom visual zones, custom haptic/audio cue rules, additional talks and sections, complete history/statistics, and PDF, CSV and text reports. Talk content stays local unless you choose watch sync or export. PowerPoint files are parsed on-device and the working copy is removed after import. No account, advertising or activity-tracking SDK. RevenueCat and the platform store process purchase and restore information. Optional content-free beta counters are off by default and never sent automatically. Eight languages, light/dark/system appearance, responsive layouts and accessibility support.

About

Touhou Focus Timer

Read full description

Cut the work into fixed blocks of time, take one block at a time, and rest often. Touhou Focus Timer is a plain timer for time blocking. What makes it different is who sits next to you. A partner from Gensokyo says something short at each turn of the block — when you start, at the halfway mark, when the end is near, when you finish, during the break, when you stop early, and when you reach the day's goal. Every line is written for that one character: 864 lines in English and 864 in Japanese, with no generic encouragement anywhere. HOW IT WORKS 1. Make a time block, such as 25 minutes of focus plus a 5 minute break, four times over 2. Pick the partner who will keep you company 3. Start. A notification tells you when the block is up WHAT YOU GET - As many time blocks as you like (name, focus length, break length, sets per day, partner) - A daily goal, and a ring on the home screen showing how much you have focused today - Notifications at the end of a block, so you never have to watch the screen while focusing - Records: today, a bar chart for the last 7 days, a grid for the last 5 weeks, lifetime totals, time spent with each partner, and your streak - Blocks you stop early are still recorded. They count toward the day's minutes, but not toward blocks completed - A dark palette for late nights (night mode) - English and Japanese EIGHTEEN PARTNERS Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame are with you from the start. The others join as your lifetime focus time adds up, in order. The thresholds are deliberately long, so if you would rather not wait you can watch a video and bring in any one partner right away. WHO IT IS FOR - You know what to do, but starting takes forever - You keep going for hours and end up worn out - You want to look back on the hours you put in - You would rather not sit at the desk alone NOTES - This is an unofficial fan work based on Touhou Project by Team Shanghai Alice. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original author or rights holders. - The app shows ads. Full-screen ads appear only while the timer is stopped; nothing interrupts a focus block or a break. - Character art: (X: @sanelta)
