MeetingMeter

What if every meeting had a price tag on the door?

MeetingMeter puts a live, ticking dollar counter on every meeting you attend. Enter the number of attendees and the average hourly rate, tap Start, and watch your organization's money drain away in real time. It is the simplest way to make meeting costs visceral — and to motivate shorter, sharper discussions.

HERO INTERACTION

Set up a session in under ten seconds: drag the attendee slider to match your headcount, set the blended hourly rate (or pick a quick preset), and hit "Start Meeting Ticker." The live screen shows the accumulated cost growing cent by cent, alongside a running timer and fun cost-equivalency callouts — how many coffees, pizzas, or team lunches this meeting has already consumed. End the session and MeetingMeter logs the result automatically.

KEY FEATURES

• Live Cost Ticker — Watch dollars accumulate in real time the moment a meeting starts, keeping everyone accountable for how long discussions run

• Attendee & Rate Sliders — Drag to configure headcount (1–50 people) and blended hourly rate ($10–$500/hr) with an instant per-session cost preview before you begin

• Quick Presets — One-tap rate chips for common team configurations so you can start tracking without typing anything

• Cost Equivalencies — See your meeting cost translated into coffees, pizzas, and restaurant lunches for a relatable, shareable gut-check

• Amber Alerts — A 15-minute warning and color-coded ALERT badge fire automatically when a high-cost session starts burning serious budget

• Meeting Log — Every ended session is saved with title, attendee count, duration, and total cost for future reference and accountability

• Wasted Budget Analytics — A summary dashboard shows total spend, number of meetings, total time burned, and average cost per meeting across your full history

• Pause & Resume — Step away without losing your session; pause the ticker and resume exactly where you left off

• Discard Option — Accidental start? Discard a session without logging it, keeping your analytics clean and accurate

• Dark AMOLED Theme — A deep Slate-950 background with Emerald and Teal accents is easy on the eyes and saves battery on OLED screens

HOW IT WORKS

Open MeetingMeter and configure your session: choose attendee count with the slider or tap a preset chip, set the hourly rate, and review the per-session cost preview. Tap "Start Meeting Ticker" to begin. The live screen counts up the accumulated cost alongside a running timer, cost equivalencies, and contextual alerts for long or expensive sessions. When the meeting ends, tap "End & Log" to save it. Visit the History tab at any time to review past sessions and explore the Wasted Budget Analytics dashboard — total spent, meetings held, hours burned, and average cost per meeting. Everything is stored locally on your device.
