What it is

Performcards is a writing tool for people who speak. It breaks your script into cards, gives every card its own clock, and stays with you on stage — from the first draft to the final word.

For speakers, moderators, panellists and lecturers.

The three moments

Write. Rehearse. Deliver.

01 — Write

One thought per card. A card holds what a card can hold, and splits itself when you go past it. Cues and private notes ride along.

02 — Rehearse

A target for each card and each section. The estimate reads at your pace — words per minute, yours, not an average.

03 — Deliver

One card at a time, in type sized to the screen it is on. Live pace, and a panic card one press away.

Presentation mode

On stage, it goes dark.

Type sized to fit the screen rather than spill off it, a pace signal that stays out of your way, a countdown to start on, private notes, and a screen that will not sleep before you do.

Illustration of presentation mode: the current card in large type, the cue for it shown above the words it is about, progress through the deck, elapsed time against the plan, and how long is left on the card before it runs over.

Import

Bring the draft you have.

Drop in a .docx, .md or .txt and choose how long a card should be. Headings become sections, and nothing lands without a preview you can edit first. Your document is read on your own device and never uploaded.

Panic cards

A way to land it.

Mark the cards your talk can end from. If the clock turns against you, one press jumps to the next one — forward only, because a talk being cut short still has to end.

Pricing

One product. Two ways to pay for it.
