Small improvements and fixes.

Stage Cards 4.0 is the biggest update yet. • Clicker, pedal & keyboard control: Bluetooth presentation remotes, page-turner pedals and keyboards turn cards in Present, Rehearse and Memorize. B or "." blacks out the screen. • Pace Guard: with a target time, a green, amber and red light and an "ahead / behind" readout keep you on schedule, planned from your own rehearsed pace. • Silent time cues: a haptic tap as you enter the last minute and a stronger one at time. Works with the ringer on silent. • Memorize Mode: say each card with the script fading: a third hidden, two thirds, first letters, first word. Hold to peek; the summary tells you when to move up a level. • Rehearsal History: every finished rehearsal keeps its time and pace (never audio) and shows your progress against the target. • Import from Files: plain text, Markdown, RTF, PDF and Word (.docx). Headings become sections, and you can edit the split before creating the deck. • Deck files: share a .stagecards deck with a co-presenter or back up every deck in one file. • Print Index Cards: 3×5 or 4×6 card stock, or four per sheet with cut marks. • Stage Look: typeface, left or centered text, line spacing, next-card peek, clock and Brightness Boost. • Siri & Shortcuts: present, rehearse or memorize a deck by name. • Stage Check: battery, brightness and a last-minute checklist before you walk on. Your existing decks open unchanged. Still no account, no ads, no tracking, and everything stays on your device.

3.0: Time Cuts Time Cuts helps you choose optional cues, check a time budget and save a separate shorter deck. Rehearse, present or export the new deck while preserving the original. • Open any deck → Time Cuts. • Set the target, speaking pace and pause per cue, then switch off optional speaking cues. • Review the estimate and save a shorter deck. Open the copy from the library to rehearse, present or export. Time is estimated from cue words plus pauses, not measured speech. It excludes improvisation, questions and applause. Empty section headings are removed. Notes, order and deck settings carry into the independent copy; check transitions before presenting.

Beat Split turns a dense cue card into glanceable beats at sentence and clause marks. It does not score the deck. Prep Desk still estimates readiness. Everything stays on this device.

Version 2.1 adds Prep Desk, a speaker preparation system that scores deck readiness, estimates read time, checks target pace, flags long cards, tracks private-note coverage, builds a section-by-section run-of-show, and gives a practical rehearsal ladder. This release also adds an offline Speaker Field Guide with high-resolution bundled sheets for pace, one-idea cards, eye contact, pauses, room checks, template arcs, rehearsal, and recovery.

Stage Cards 1.1 REHEARSAL MODE Run a timed practice session before the real thing. Stage Cards tracks how long you spend on every card, then shows a detailed pace report: total time, words per minute, and a card-by-card breakdown flagging cards you rushed through or lingered on. Know your time before you walk up to the mic. COUNTDOWN TO GOAL Set a target duration (1–30 minutes) in Display Settings. The presenter shows a live countdown pill that shifts from normal to amber to red as you approach your limit — so you can feel your pace without watching a clock. FOUR NEW TEMPLATES — Sermon / Homily: opening story, scripture, three points, application, benediction. — Comedy Roast: three bits, a heartfelt turn, and a toast close. — Class Reunion Toast: shared memories, who we became, and a glass to what's still ahead. — Investor Pitch: problem, traction, team, and ask in five minutes. All 12 templates remain fully editable. Everything stays on your device.
