How it works

Set up a countdown timer for your event in seven steps.

From opening the page to a timer running on stage.

3

Build your run of show

Give each timer a name and a duration, then pick its type: a countdown, a count-up, or a clock showing time of day. Add as many as your show needs and drag them into order — together they are your run of show.

Share the timer with your team

Copy the viewer link and send it to whoever is on stage, by message or mail.

5

See what the viewer link opens

A viewer link opens a full-screen countdown and nothing else — no controls, no clutter. Once you start the show the clock appears here, big enough to read from the stage, and the bar along the bottom turns yellow and then red as time runs out.

6

Start the event timer

Press start. The clock runs on your controller and on every shared view at the same moment. Your presenter sees the same time you do — full screen, without the controls.

7

Send messages to the confidence monitor

Type a message and put it on the stage display without touching the clock. Long messages shrink to fit, short ones fill the screen — and a flashing message catches the eye even when your presenter is mid-sentence.

The message PLEASE WRAP UP shown on the stage preview
