Countdown Timer for
Conferences & Trade Shows
Keep your conference on schedule with a countdown timer that speakers can actually see. Display it on any screen, control it from your phone, and send live messages — all from the browser.
Run Every Speaker on the Same Schedule
Create a timer for each speaker or session. Add names, set durations, and link them to auto-advance through the schedule. Import your rundown from a CSV if you already have it in a spreadsheet. Share the agenda link with speakers so they can see the full schedule and know when they're up.
- Build your full conference rundown with a timer for every speaker and segment
- Auto-advance between speakers so transitions happen seamlessly
- Import from CSV to avoid rebuilding schedules you already have
- Share the agenda with your team so everyone knows the full lineup
Cue Speakers Without Walking on Stage
Need to tell a speaker to wrap up? Have a schedule change? Type a message in the controller and it appears on the timer display instantly. Color-code messages for different urgency levels. No more awkward hand signals from the side of the stage — the message shows up right where the speaker is already looking.
- Messages appear on the timer screen visible only to the speaker
- Color-code by urgency — red for "wrap up now," green for "you're good"
- No interrupting the presentation — communication stays discreet
- Schedule alerts reach speakers instantly for last-minute changes
- Crew chat — coordinate backstage between AV team, stage managers, and volunteers
Run the Show From Any Browser You Have
Open the controller in any browser — phone, tablet, or laptop. Start and stop timers, skip to the next speaker, and adjust time on the fly. Share the controller link with your team so multiple people can manage the schedule. No apps to install, no hardware to set up — if you have a browser and internet, you have a speaker timer.
- Control from phone, tablet, or laptop — any browser works
- Native iOS app — control everything from your iPhone without opening a browser
- Share control with your team via link for collaborative management
- Multiple coordinators can manage the schedule simultaneously
Product Roadmap9:35 AMRun a Teleprompter on the Same Display
Keep speaker notes scrolling on the same monitor as the timer. Speakers see their script, the audience sees a clean countdown. Adjust scroll speed and font size from the controller without breaking the talk.
- Scrolling teleprompter on the speaker monitor — synced with the timer
- Adjust speed and font size from the controller mid-talk
- Notes stay private to the speaker — never appear on the audience screen
- Import notes per session or paste them in seconds before the speaker walks on
Speaker NotesOne Timer Room. Every Screen You Need.
Open the viewer link on any screen — confidence monitor on the stage floor, TV on a tripod, tablet on the podium, or a display mounted at the back of the room. One timer room, as many screens as you need.
- Stage floor — confidence monitor facing the speaker
- Podium — tablet with timer, teleprompter, or agenda at the lectern
- Back of room — large display visible from the stage
- Green room — so the next speaker knows when to get ready
Make Every Display Look Like Your Conference
Add your conference logo, set your brand colors, and choose a font. The timer display becomes part of your event's visual identity instead of looking like a generic tool. Drop in custom backgrounds or go transparent for an OBS overlay.
- Add your conference logo for a professional, branded look
- Match your brand colors across every timer display
- Custom fonts and background images for complete visual control
- Professional look across all screens — stage, lobby, and green room
Run Polls and Q&A from the Audience's Phones
Audience members scan a QR code on the conference screen and submit poll votes or Q&A questions from their phones — no app, no signup. Moderators triage incoming questions on a private dashboard, then push the chosen one onto the main screen with one tap.
- QR-code-driven polls and Q&A — works on every phone in the room
- Anonymous or named submissions — speaker chooses
- Moderator queue with approve, hide, and show-on-screen
- Live results animate on stage as votes come in
Multi-Stage, Multi-Region, Time-Zone Aware
Running a multi-venue conference? Each stage gets its own timer room. Remote speakers joining via video? They can see the countdown in their browser. Time zones sync automatically — your speaker in Tokyo sees the same countdown as your stage manager in Berlin.
- Works on any internet-connected device — no special hardware required
- Syncs across time zones automatically — perfect for global events
- 100+ connections supported — scale across ballrooms, stages, and green rooms with full connection management
- Each stage gets its own timer room with independent controls
Embed the Timer in Your Livestream
Drop the timer or any output into OBS, vMix, Streamyard, or any browser-source-capable encoder. The timer keeps perfect sync with the on-stage clock so livestream viewers see the same countdown your in-room audience sees. Switch scenes, overlay your brand, key it on top of the speaker — all without affecting the source feed.
- Drop into OBS, vMix, Streamyard, Restream or any RTMP encoder
- Transparent backgrounds — sits cleanly on top of any video feed
- Sync stays perfect across in-room and remote viewers
- Embed audience polls and Q&A in the livestream too
