DeskSign 1.0.1

Fold your iPhone Duo into a tent on your desk — or stand any iPhone up — and DeskSign turns the screen into a sign facing the room. In big, bold colour it shows whether you're in a meeting, focusing or free — straight from your calendar — so family, roommates and coworkers know when to come say hi, without asking.

Built for iPhone Duo
DeskSign fills the outer screen, facing the room, and keeps it awake while it stands. No stand, no gadget — the phone is the sign. On the inner screen, when it's partly open, text stays clear of the fold. On any other iPhone, prop it on a stand; the screen stays on while DeskSign is open.

THREE KINDS OF SIGN
• Calendar — busy or free, automatically
• Custom message — anything you like, such as "Recording podcast", in one of six colours
• Nameplate — your name, your title or team and an optional third line, with your live status underneath if you want it

AUTOMATIC FROM YOUR CALENDAR
• "In a meeting — until 2:30" in red while you're busy
• "Focusing — back at 3:00" for events titled Focus, Deep work or Heads down
• "Free — come say hi" in green when you're not, plus "free until 4:00" when something's coming up
• "Out today" for vacation and out-of-office days
• Back-to-back meetings show as one block, so "until" means until you're actually free
• Declined events and "show as free" holds never make you look busy
• All-day events only mark you out if they're set to Out of Office, or say so in the title ("Vacation", "PTO", "Sick") and aren't set to show as Free — a deadline reminder won't

CHOOSE WHICH CALENDARS COUNT
Right after you connect, DeskSign asks which calendars are yours. Only your main calendar starts on, so calendars other people share with you — family, team, holidays — won't make you look busy until you say so. Birthdays never do.

WORKS WITH ANY CALENDAR ON YOUR IPHONE
iCloud, Google, Outlook, Exchange — whatever you've added to the Calendar app.

IN YOUR OWN WORDS
Change what the sign says for Free, In a meeting, Focusing and Out — "Heads down", "Knock anytime", "On leave". Times like "until 2:30" are added for you.

SET IT BY HAND
On a calendar sign, or a nameplate showing your status, press and hold and pick one: on a call, recording, do not disturb, at lunch, back in 10, come on in. It beats your calendar until it runs out or you clear it.

YOUR COUNTDOWN
Double-tap to turn the sign toward you and see how long is left in your meeting, or how long until the next one. A "Why" line shows which event set your status.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your calendar never leaves your iPhone — no account, no servers
• Meeting titles stay hidden from the room unless you choose to show them
• No ads, no tracking, no data collected
