Trusted by production teams worldwide
See how professionals are keeping their events on time.
We ditched our expensive hardware timing system for Stage Timer Online last year. Being able to control multiple rooms from a single laptop in the production office is incredible.
As a speaker, I love the clear, distraction-free display. The 'wrap up' alerts are subtle but effective. It really helps me stay on track without feeling rushed.
The API integration with Bitfocus Companion is excellent. We have a button on our StreamDeck that triggers specific timer presets. It fits perfectly into our broadcast workflow.
Master the stage, from anywhere.
Take full command of what your speakers see. Switch modes, send messages, and control the viewing experience — all in real-time from the control room or your phone.
Focus Mode
Highlight the timer with maximum visibility. Dims all other elements so speakers can concentrate on their remaining time.
Blackout Mode
Instantly black out all speaker displays. Perfect for surprise moments, video playback, or when the timer shouldn't be visible.
Standby Mode
Show a "Standby" message before sessions begin. Keeps displays professional while speakers are getting mic'd up and ready.
Live Messaging
Send real-time cues directly to the speaker's screen. Pre-set quick messages like "Wrap Up" or type custom alerts on the fly.
Not another stopwatch app.

Running live events is
stressful enough.

Traditional countdown clocks are expensive, clunky, and can't be updated from backstage.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the most reliable cloud-based stage timer. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact our support team.
Is it really free?
Yes! The basic version of Stage Timer Online is completely free and always will be. It includes 3 concurrent timers, public share links, and standard features. We only charge for advanced features like custom branding, API access, and team management.
Does it work offline?
Yes and no. The app is browser-based, so you need an internet connection to load it and sync changes between devices. However, if your connection drops during a show, the timer will keep running locally on all devices to ensure the speaker never loses their cue.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation required. Stage Timer Online runs entirely in your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). This means you can use it on any device—laptops, tablets, smartphones, and even smart TVs—without IT permission.
How many devices can connect?
There is no limit to the number of devices that can connect to a timer. You can have 50 screens showing the confidence monitor and 10 iPads acting as controllers all at once.
Can I send messages to the speaker?
Yes! You can type messages (like 'Wrap it up' or 'Stand closer to mic') that flash on the confidence monitor. The speaker sees them instantly without disrupting the flow of the presentation.
