Unlock Play once, and you can run any deck at full length forever. Write your talk as a deck of cards - one beat per card - then hit Play. Your talking points appear huge and glanceable on a black screen built for stages, podiums, and studios. Tap or swipe to move between cards. No scrolling, no losing your place, no squinting at a Google Doc. MADE FOR SPEAKING - Podcast episodes and interviews - Wedding toasts and best-man speeches - Conference talks, sermons, lectures, pitches - Anywhere you'd rather glance at beats than read a script TIMERS THAT KEEP YOU ON PACE - One continuous deck timer - count up, or count down from your time slot - Per-card timers ("this story gets 90 seconds") - Auto-time cards from your script length - The screen flashes when a card's time is up - silent, unmissable - Timer colors shift green to yellow to red as time runs down AN EDITOR THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY - Write like a notes app; bold, italics, colors, and bullets - Paste a speech from any app and split it into cards in one tap - Reorder cards with a touch and hold - Set text size from S to XL - or pinch, mid-speech WRITE IT WITH AI, ON YOUR DEVICE - Talk it through out loud and it writes your cards for you - Paste a brief, run of show, or notes and have them formatted into cards - Or just describe the talk and get a starting deck with the timings set - Runs on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence.
