Talks and conferences
Put the iPhone or iPad on the lectern or at the edge of the stage. The colour of the screen tells you where you stand without reading the digits: amber shortly before the end, red once your time is up.

Stage Timer A countdown for talks, hosting and DJ sets
Stage Timer shows you how much time you have left on stage. The digits fill the whole screen, so you can read them from a few metres away: at a lectern, at the edge of the stage or behind the decks.

Use cases
DJ sets and changeovers
Festival and club slots end on the minute. Besides the time left, you see the time of day at which your slot ends. The dark backgrounds do not light up the booth.
Hosting, teaching, rehearsals
Panel discussions, pitches, oral exams or band rehearsals: 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes are set with two taps. The timer stays correct after a phone call or a restart of the device.
Features
- Large digits in portrait and landscape
- The screen turns amber when the end is near and red once your time is up
- After the end the clock keeps counting up, for example +01:23, so you and the stage manager can see how far over you are
- Shows the time of day at which your slot ends, and the current time in the stage view
- Dark backgrounds for the stage, with a brightness that goes below the iOS minimum
- Controls are hidden during the countdown so nothing gets touched by accident

Frequently asked questions
Does the timer keep running when I close the app?
Yes. The app remembers the end time, so the display is correct when you open it again, even after the iPhone has restarted. There is no sound and no notification at the end; the red screen is the signal.
Where have the controls gone?
They are hidden while the countdown runs so that nothing gets triggered by accident. Tap the screen once and they come back.
I bought the upgrade, but it is locked again.
Tap “Restore purchase” on the purchase card in the app. A one-time purchase is tied to your Apple account and does not have to be paid for again.
