Gives everyone a fair chance to speak

The talking stick is an instrument of aboriginal democracy used by many native tribes. It may be passed around a group or used only by leaders as a symbol of their authority and right to speak in public.[2]

TalkingStick takes the ingenious idea of the aboriginal tribes to the next level.


- it's the first ever conversation timer for the iPhone.

- the first ever virtual meeting moderator.

- the only app that keeps an argument civilized. 


  No more broken porcelain!


TalkingStick has three modes:

BLOCK TIME MODE
Each speaker gets a set time. When time is up, TalkingStick will buzz to let you know it’s someone else’s turn. Pass on the stick!


TOTAL TIME MODE
Participants decide at the beginning of the meeting how much total time everyone gets. Up to you how you use it.  A minute here and there or all in one go. TalkingStick lets you know when your speaking credit is up.


FREE TALK
No pre agreed limits, TalkingStick just adds up the time spoken by each speaker.
