Does the sleeve make any sound or vibration cue?

No. The 8×32 RGB LED matrix is a pure visual cue — no audio, no vibration, no claps. Co-hosts and guests read the teal/amber/red time bar and the 2 MIN LEFT scroll directly off the producer's raised forearm.

Can I set my own episode length?

Yes. Open the Sleeve Studio app, edit the timer presets in the mode (for example 40 or 75), then send it to the sleeve over Bluetooth.

What if I need to pause the timer mid-interview?

Hold Pad 5 to pause the timer without a sound. The time bar freezes and a corner heartbeat pixel stays amber, so everyone in the studio knows the clock is stopped for a break.

Podcast Producer Silent Wrap-It-Up Clock

A silent teal/amber/red time bar and a 2 MIN LEFT scroll run across the 8×32 RGB LED matrix so co-hosts and guests see the wrap cue with zero mic bleed or studio clap — the 5 sewn touch pads set and pause timers hands-free ($199).

Wrap cue with zero audio bleed: A teal/amber/red bar plus 2 MIN LEFT is visible to everyone in the room but never lands in a condenser mic.
Hands-free timer control: Five fabric pads set a 45-minute clock, pause for a break, or flash a silent STANDBY mid-record.
Ships as 1 of 50 modes: Pre-loaded as Silent Wrap Clock; set your own presets in the Sleeve Studio app.

Why Studio Claps and Mic Bleed Ruin Podcast Tapes

The red-light problem: A host shouting LAST TWO MINUTES lands straight in the mics; cutting it costs time, keeping it sounds amateur.
Silence is the feature: The cue rides on the producer’s outer forearm, readable in the room but inaudible on tape.
Peer-reviewed textile roots, shipping hardware: The Oct 2026 NUS Nature paper coined “garment GUI” with a lab-only woven pixel fibre (not for sale); our shipping $199 sleeve uses 5 sewn conductive-fabric pads and a removable 8×32 LED pod.
