Debatekeeper — a timekeeper for debate speeches

Debatekeeper is a timekeeper for debate speeches for Android phones. It rings bells automatically at the right times, so judges can say goodbye to awkwardly missing the one-minute bell and suddenly realising that the opposition's been trying to offer a point of information for the last thirty seconds.

Debatekeeper supports most major parliamentary styles of debating, including British Parliamentary, Australs, World Schools, Asian Parliamentary, Australian, American Parliamentary, Canadian Parliamentary (including PMRE/split opp) and all New Zealand styles. You can also write your own debate formats.

This wiki has more information about some features of the app:
