Only for Mac

Mac

2.0: a rebuilt Focus Mode, a menu that acts before it reports, an agenda editor with live preview — and a timer that never shows up in a screen share. Huddle keeps every meeting, talk, and speech on time — right from your menu bar. The countdown sits next to your clock. It turns orange when time gets short and keeps counting in red once you run over, so you always know where you stand. No pop-ups. No window in the way. Nothing on screen for anyone else to see. WHAT HUDDLE DOES • Reads your next meeting from your calendar — iCloud, Google, Outlook, Exchange and CalDAV • Shows the time left as a quiet dot, a countdown, or both • Keeps counting past zero, so an overrun is never a surprise • Runs your agenda with a sub-timer for every item • Speech timer with the green / yellow / red signal that speaking clubs use • Focus Mode — a full-screen countdown for stage, presentation, and recording (Pro) • Drag down on the menu bar icon for a quick timer from 1 to 120 minutes • Moves on to your next meeting by itself NEW IN 2.0 • Focus Mode rebuilt: large rounded numerals, optional urgency colours you can switch off, contrast-checked • A menu that puts actions first and prints every keyboard shortcut next to what it does • Agenda editor with a live preview of how your text will be read • Onboarding that shows the countdown running and connects your calendar in one step • New app icon and a clearer menu bar glyph • The timer stays hidden while you share your screen PERFECT FOR • Managers running back-to-back meetings • Speaking clubs, trainers, and anyone who has to land a talk on time • Presenters, podcasters, and streamers using Focus Mode on stage • Sales and customer success teams on calls • Founders and freelancers who want their week back HUDDLE PRO An optional in-app purchase adds Focus Mode, meeting templates that learn from your calendar, automatic agenda parsing from your meeting notes, custom warning and overtime thresholds, and banner or full-screen announcements between agenda items.

Huddle 2.0 — the timer you can trust in front of an audience. NOTHING LEAKS INTO A SCREEN SHARE The overlay and the end-of-time flash now stay off shared screens for good. Your audience sees your work, not your countdown. A MENU THAT ACTS The quick timer sits at the top and stays there. Templates moved into their own submenu. Every shortcut is printed next to the action it triggers, and anything that needs Pro says so up front. FOCUS MODE, REBUILT Large rounded numerals you can read from the back of the room. Optional urgency colours on the clock — switch them off if you like, they are contrast-checked either way, and Settings previews the exact colours you will get. THE AGENDA LOOP IS CLOSED Write an agenda by hand and watch Huddle parse it live before you start. Automatic parsing from meeting notes and templates that learn from your calendar are Pro. Completed items stay completed, and old entries age out instead of piling up. ONBOARDING THAT SHOWS INSTEAD OF TELLING Three pages: the countdown running from green through orange into overtime, your calendar connected with your real next meeting on screen, and how to drag the menu bar icon to set a timer. A NEW LOOK New app icon, a clearer menu bar glyph, and around 35 new interface texts localised into 37 languages. FIXED Pro is restored for everyone who bought Cue 1.1 before the rename. Calendar access no longer gets stuck in a restart loop, purchases settle reliably, panels stop fighting each other, and Escape closes what you are actually looking at. Thanks for every report that went into this release. — Jonas
