Power Prompter 2025.5 adds a countdown

With the most recent update of Power Prompter we’ve added a countdown overlay. This overlay lets you display a countdown (up to 10 seconds) before prompting begins.

Currently only one countdown style is available but we’ll be adding more in future updates. So if you prefer a specific style of countdown please let us know 🙂

We also added as “linear scroll wheel” setting which, when enabled, ignores inertial scrolling events. Means: Scrolling/speed adjustment will stop as soon as you stop moving the mouse wheel. This is useful for certain 3rd party mice and USB controllers that try to be “smart” with scroll events.

And of course we fixed a few bugs. Like being able to dial in a negative scroll speed with the ShuttleXpress controller. Or a crash that could occur when you moved a transparent window to a wireless external display (this one was particularly hard to trigger).

We hope you’re enjoying Power Prompter and we’re always happy to hear your feedback!
