Scrum Timer keeps stand-ups and other time-boxed team sessions moving. Choose the total meeting time and number of participants. Scrum Timer divides the time fairly and repeats the countdown for each person. If someone finishes early, move to the next person immediately. Create multiple timers for different teams and meetings. Share a timer with a secure view-only or editable link, and everyone sees starts, stops, settings, names, and attendee changes live. Use Scrum Timer on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, or open a shared timer in any modern web browser. Your saved timers stay available across your Apple devices through iCloud. Clear color states and audible hurry-up and time-is-up cues keep everyone aware without watching the screen every second.

Plot Spark ignites your next idea - with a single roll. Whether you're working on a novel, a short film, a tabletop RPG campaign, or just need a story for tonight: Plot Spark instantly delivers a character, a conflict, and a setting - random, unexpected, and inspiring. HOW IT WORKS Pick a kit, roll the dice - and get a complete story prompt with character, conflict, setting, and a wild twist. Sounds too simple? That's exactly the point. Prefer instant results over a dice animation? Turn the roll animation off and get straight to the prompt. ELEVEN KITS, EVERY GENRE Plot Spark ships with eleven curated kits - from neon-soaked noir and cosmic comedy to high-seas adventure, Cold War espionage, and Victorian hollow-earth expeditions. And you can create your own kits and fill every slot with your own ideas - tuned to exactly the tone you need. JOURNAL & MARKDOWN EXPORT Save every hit straight to your journal. Write notes, develop the idea, or let it simmer - your best prompts won't get lost. Export any entry, or your whole journal, as clean Markdown and keep working in your favorite writing app. FROM SPARK TO GAMEBOOK Your exported prompts are plain Markdown - the same format Story Weaver speaks, our free open-source language for writing branching gamebooks with choices, dice, and fights. Grow a rolled prompt into a full playable adventure: github.com/ComicSans/story-weaver NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. Plot Spark needs no internet connection, no login, and no subscription. Your ideas stay on your device. Perfect for: • Novelists and screenwriters • Tabletop RPG game masters • Short story writers • Game designers • Gamebook authors • Anyone who needs a creative spark
