Segment
Timed sessions in phases — with templates and a live menu bar timer.
Paste in Terminal, hit return — installs to Applications and launches. Bypasses the Gatekeeper “damaged / not opened” blocks.
Apple Silicon·macOS 10.15+
If you already downloaded the DMG
Don’t double-click Install Segment.command — macOS blocks it. Use the Terminal install above instead. Or after dragging Segment to Applications: xattr -cr /Applications/Segment.app
Live menu bar
Stay in flow without leaving the room
A quiet countdown sits in the menu bar so you can run the session while you talk, present, or work — no digging for the window.
Segment timeline
Structure the whole session up front
Stack phases as cards with titles, durations, and progress. Edit inline, skip ahead, or go back when the room needs it.
Templates
Reuse the setups you trust
Save interview rounds, study blocks, or show acts once. Switch templates anytime — changes save as you go.
