Aether Cadence

Speak freely. Stay on track.

A smart outline companion that shows you where you are in your talk — section by section — so you can speak freely, go off-script, and still land on time. Not a teleprompter. Your outline, your voice.

Core Mechanic

Outline-Aware Delivery

Your outline provides structure. You provide the voice.

Import your markdown outline and speak freely. Cadence tracks which section you're in — even when you adlib or reorder points — and shows you where you are vs. where time says you should be. Navigate between sections with a swipe. Backtrack if you forgot something. A 'Return to...' prompt always guides you back.

  • Import any markdown outline
  • AI tracks which section you're delivering
  • Swipe between sections freely
  • Dual markers: time vs. position

Features

Built for speakers who deliver, not read

Every feature gives you more freedom. See your structure, know your timing, speak your way.

Outline-Aware Tracking

Just speak naturally. Cadence tracks which section you're in — even when you adlib or reorder points — and shows you where you are vs. where time says you should be.

Stage Spotlight

Your current section fills the screen. Previous and next sections are visible for context. Swipe to navigate. The timer never stops — but you're free to move.

Import From Anywhere

Markdown, PDF, iCloud Drive, or Share Sheet. Write your outline in any app, then hand it to Cadence. Sections, timing, and structure — all organized automatically.

On-Device Intelligence

Three-tier matching: keyword, semantic, and Apple Intelligence. Your presentation stays private, processed entirely on your device.

Live Activity & Watch

Your pace on Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch. Digital Crown navigation, silent haptic cues, and a gentle pace ring — right on your wrist.

Practice Mode

Rehearse with manual section advance. Compare practice timing to targets. Refine your pacing before the real thing.

How It Works

From outline to confidence

01

Import your outline

Copy and paste from any markdown or text outline. Cadence organizes sections, estimates timing, and prepares for tracking.

02

Review your pacing

Set target durations for each section. Cadence shows a gentle timeline — no pressure, just a guide.

03

Step onto the stage

Cadence shows your current section with the previous and next visible for context. Speak freely — Apple Intelligence tracks where you are. Swipe between sections if you need to backtrack or peek ahead.

04

Stay on track

Two markers track your talk: where time says you should be, and where you actually are. The gap between them is your pacing feedback. If you backtrack, a gentle 'Return to...' prompt helps you snap back.

Live Activity

Your pace, always visible.

Even when your phone is locked, Cadence keeps you informed. The Live Activity shows your remaining time, current section, and pace status — right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. No need to unlock. No need to fumble.

Perfect For

When you need to speak without stress

Structured Outline Talks
