THE PROBLEM
A hand signal from the back of the room is not a timing system. Two lost minutes per session is half an hour by the afternoon break.
FEATURES
State lives on the server, not on someone's laptop. Start, pause or nudge a session and every connected display updates instantly — projection, confidence monitor, tablet backstage. If a screen drops off Wi-Fi, it catches up the moment it reconnects.
The Viewer is a fullscreen countdown for stage monitors. The Agenda is a read-only board of the whole programme for lobbies and green rooms. The Moderator is a tablet-friendly panel for pushing messages to the speaker — without full controller access.
Every output is a short link with a QR code. The stage manager scans it on the venue TV, the moderator opens it on their own tablet — no account, no install, nothing to configure. Links stay live for the whole event.
Auto-advance rolls to the next session the moment one ends. The controller tracks live drift against your planned schedule and projects the real finish time — so you claw back minutes at the next break instead of discovering them at 5 pm.
HOW IT WORKS
Register free and run your first countdown before the kettle boils.
Sign up with an email — no card. Add sessions with durations and speakers, or import the whole run sheet from CSV.
Each output is a short link with a QR code — stage monitor, moderator tablet, lobby agenda. No accounts for the crew.
Press Start. Pause, nudge ±30s, push messages to the speaker — every screen follows the moment you do.
USE CASES
A 40-talk day stays a 40-talk day. Speakers watch remaining time on the confidence monitor, and the lobby board always shows what's on and what's next.
Run the house-open countdown and the interval clock from the prompt desk, and push a quiet “clear the stage” to backstage screens without a headset call.
Equal speaking time, visibly enforced. Candidate, panel and audience watch the same clock — and overtime turns the whole display red, so the chair never has to interrupt.
Exec Q&A that ends when the calendar says. A producer nudges ±30 seconds from the back of the room; the stage just sees the countdown.
SCREENSHOTS
Controller at the desk, Viewer on stage, Agenda in the lobby.
Do the crew need accounts?
No. Every output — stage monitor, lobby agenda, moderator tablet — is a short link with a QR code. Only the person running the controller signs in.
How many screens can I run at once?
As many as the venue has. Each screen opens its own link and reads the same server-side clock, so adding a display costs nothing.
Is there anything to install?
No. It runs in any modern browser on whatever hardware the venue already has — laptops, tablets, smart TVs.
What happens if a screen loses Wi-Fi?
It reconnects on its own and re-reads the current state, so it catches up rather than showing a stale count.
Can I import a running order?
Yes — CSV import handles up to 500 rows with column mapping, so a programme built in a spreadsheet becomes a rundown in one step.
Is it really free?
One room is free forever, with unlimited timers and all three outputs. Pro adds unlimited active rooms for events running parallel tracks.
