Public Speaking Goal Tracker for iPhone

Track speeches and presentations given on iPhone. Log each one, build toward 25 or 52 this year, and see your speaking record accumulate over time. Free.

Toastmasters members work toward specific speech milestones on the path to higher designations. Corporate presenters want to track how many times they've stood in front of a room this year. Both of these are count goals: speeches given, not daily speaking habits.

Public speaking opportunities don't happen on a weekly schedule. A conference month might produce four presentations. A quiet quarter might produce two. The gap between them isn't failure — it's just the absence of bookings.

The number that matters is cumulative. After 10 speeches, you're measurably more experienced than after 2. Each one adds to a real record of time spent on your feet, in front of people, working through the discomfort.

A speech counter shows 10 of 25. The months without a stage don't subtract from the 10 you've given. Log the next one when it happens.

One presentation per month reaches 12 in a year. Active speakers do two to four per month.

Why speeches given is a milestone goal

Public speaking goals are count-based. Whether the speech is 2 minutes or 20 minutes, each one adds to the total. Toastmasters members track specific speech milestones on the path to higher designations. A count tracker shows clear progress; a streak tracker has no model for this.

The problem with streak trackers for speeches given

A month with no speaking opportunities resets a check-in streak when the count is at 8 speeches. The 8 are the progress toward 25.

What the math looks like

Two speeches per month reaches 24 in a year. A conference month with five speeches and a quiet month with one both contribute to the annual count.
