Can I edit the set times and stage names myself?

Yes. Open the Sleeve Studio app, edit the stages in the mode, and send it to the sleeve over Bluetooth in about 30 seconds.

How readable is the ticker in direct sunlight?

The 8×32 RGB LED matrix runs at up to 220 brightness behind a soft diffused outer weave. Use Pad 5's double_tap to boost to full brightness, or hold Pad 5 to drop to 15% for indoor tents and after-dark sets.

Does the ticker run when my phone is in airplane mode?

Yes. The set times and stage list live on the removable BLE controller, so the ticker scrolls and the progress bar drains with no phone, no cell signal, and no app open — ideal for dead-zone festival fields.

Festival Set-Time Clash Countdown Ticker for Your Forearm

Read the next set without pulling out your phone: MAIN STAGE: JUSTICE IN 14M scrolls the 8×32 matrix with a draining 32-column bar — $199 finished sleeve.

Set times on your arm: A glanceable ticker scrolls the stage, act, and minutes-to-go while you walk through the crowd.
Tap, don't unlock: 5 sewn fabric pads switch stages and cycle acts, working through sunscreen, sweat, or a knuckle tap.
Ready out of the box: Ships as one of the 50 built-in modes; load your own lineup in the Sleeve Studio app.

Why Pulling Out a Phone Between Festival Sets Fails

25 seconds of glare: Juggling a warm beer, a friend's hand, and a 6,000-nit sun, reading a clashfinder app is enough time for your group to split.
A face-up ticker: Your outer forearm stays visible while you walk, so one tap moves to the next stage without unlocking a screen.
Built for festival hands: Elbow-to-wrist pads take a knuckle or opposite-wrist tap; the electronics core slides out for a cold hand-wash.
