LiveCue Timer
Pro Timer for Shows & Streams
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A professional timer for live streaming, stage, and presentations.
External monitor output, PiP, Apple Watch sync, Live Activity, operation lock, and passcode protection. Built around the workflows of real production environments.
---
Designed for event staff, streamers, instructors, hosts, and backstage crews.
Operation lock prevents accidental touches that lose time during live shows. Post-end count-up visualizes overtime in red. Purpose-built presets — every feature is sharpened for actual on-site needs.
At a glance, anyone can see the remaining time, so both hosts and performers can focus on the show without watching the clock.

more v4.0.2 — Bug fixes
Fixed: "Warning 0" was not preserved on Count Up presets
Fixed an issue where saving a Count Up preset with "End 00:00 / Warning 00:00 / Start 45:00" caused the Warning value to be silently overwritten with the Start
value. Presets that intentionally set Warning to 0 (= no warning) are now saved and used exactly as configured.
Fixed: Count Up could be configured from Preset Settings without Pro
The main timer screen correctly gated Count Up behind Pro, but the Preset Settings screen let anyone configure Count Up presets. Free users now see a Pro upsell when tapping Count Up, while existing Count Up presets remain editable.
Thanks for using LiveCue Timer.
4.0.2 19 May
v4.0.1 — Preset Groups A–E and a refined workflow system, plus bug fixes
[New in v4.0.0]
---
Preset Groups A–E (Pro)
Manage up to 25 presets (5 groups × 5) across scenes like live shows, rehearsal, streaming, and recording. Switch groups with one tap to call up the exact configuration you need.
Custom group names
Set custom names for A–E to fit your workflow (e.g., "Live," "Stream," "Lecture").
iPhone landscape preset editing redesigned with a 2-column layout
In landscape mode, preset editing now spreads timer/end values and warning/checkboxes across two columns. Plus and Pro-series iPhones can take full advantage of the wide screen.
Continued [to HH:MM] readout after the timer ends
After count-down completes or during count-up overrun, the [to HH:MM] readout remains visible at the bottom of the screen so the scheduled end time stays at a glance.
Other improvements & fixes (v4.0.0)
• Fixed an issue where header buttons at the top of the screen could not be tapped while an external display was connected
• Resolved overlap between header buttons and digit labels in iPhone landscape
• Fixed the "Confirm before overwriting preset" toggle so the setting now controls the confirmation correctly
• Removed "Save current timer here" from the preset long-press menu; saving is now consolidated under the timer screen's Save pill
• Hidden the "Cancel" button in the iPad preset edit split view to prevent accidental dismissal
• Renamed the PiP "Start Floating Display" button label in Japanese (more natural phrasing)
• Refined Japanese localization in Settings (import-failure messages, etc.)
• Strengthened preset migration from v3.4 → v4.0 (compatibility safety net)
[New in v4.0.1]
---
Mutually exclusive preset edit
Fixed an issue where "↑ Count Up" (count up after zero) and "⟲ Repeat" could be selected at the same time in the preset edit screen. Since these two behaviors cannot run together, selecting one now automatically deselects the other, matching the main screen behavior.
Price-change announcement timing
Fixed an issue where the price-change announcement dialog could appear right after updating even for users who had already purchased Pro. The dialog now waits until the purchase status is confirmed before deciding whether to show.

* As features expand, Pro will increase from 500 yen to 700 yen with the next update. Get Pro at 500 yen now to lock in the lower price.
