// Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Professional stage timing that works on any device, any network, anywhere. No hardware. No installer. No surprise on showday.

01 — The big three

The things you’ll actually use.

// Real-time sync

Every screen, the same second.

One room, every connected device updating in lockstep. Controller, speaker monitor, audience display, mobile — no "is it counting on yours yet?"

// Silent comms

Talk to the speaker without anyone knowing.

Send "wrap up," "skip Q&A," "great job" directly to the confidence monitor. Flash the screen if you need to. Audience never sees a thing.

// Rundowns

Plan it once, run it on the day.

Sequence multiple segments per room. Auto-advance when a timer hits zero, or drive it manually. Reorder by drag. Marks current, next, done as you go.

02 — All features

Boring on purpose. Reliable by design.

/01

Countdown timers

Any duration, any room. Pause, reset, add or subtract time on the fly without resetting the rest of the rundown.

/02

Multi-device sync

Unlimited connected devices. Laptops, tablets, TVs, phones — all reflecting the same source of truth in real time.

/03

Speaker messaging

Private messages to the speaker display. Three severities (info, warning, alert) so urgency is obvious at a glance.

/04

Display modes

Comfy and compact layouts for different screen sizes. Optimised for confidence monitors and venue TVs alike.

/05

Custom timer colour

Pick any hex and the audience display matches your brand. Pro only — free tier stays on the default.

/06

Q&A moderation

Audience submits questions on their phone. You approve, feature, and surface them on stage when you are ready.

/07

Blackout & flash

Kill the display in one click between segments. Flash to grab a wandering speaker in two.

/08

Browser-first

No installer, no driver, no IT ticket. Any device with a browser can join the room.

03 — Versus the old way
