If you have to time an event or meeting, then stagetimer.io can help. It allows you to create timers and control them from other devices. You can then share a fullscreen timer with presenters and the agenda with participants via link.

Hi Hunters, This is Lukas and Liz, makers of Stagetimer, a countdown timer you can control from anywhere. 💡The initial idea A friend of mine has a studio and he uses an old laptop with a little tool written in Flash as a timer, which he starts manually before running back to the camera. "Surely there is a modern web-based app out there he can use instead", I thought. Well, there wasn't. There were some Mac and Windows apps, but nothing like I thought there would be. So I built it myself. I wanted to make it possible to put a tablet with wifi somewhere in front of the speaker and remote control it from a laptop or phone by opening a link with a unique key. And many iterations later here is Stagetimer 2.0. 🤩 Yes, it’s FREE Stagetimer is free to use and allows you to keep a meeting, event, Livestream, and more on time. It can be used across time zones, on different devices and you can even send messages to presenters. ⚡️Pro features If you have a bigger event or meeting, you can unlock all Pro features with a 10-day Event license or a Pro subscription. It includes unlimited rooms, timers, messages, and connected devices, customization, API to use with StreamDeck Companion, and much more. 🔔 New features and capabilities - Complete redesign of the UI - Submit questions link - Public agenda link - Chimes and flashes - Event progress bar - Transport controls - Bulk Actions, and much more ⏱ What’s next Offline version, team pricing, API and customization improvements, and more. Let us know what you think of Stagetimer 2.0 and what can be improved. Feel free to leave a comment below, or reach out via email: support@stagetimer.io

@_lhermann i've been following Lukas and Liz's journey for a while now. Super impressed. Can totally see how this solves a very tangible need for events, livestreams, or just running meetings in general. Congrats on the launch!

@_lhermann @alexey_hs Thanks Alex! The launch looks even better with such an awesome video from Hound Studio! Really appreciate the work you and your team put on it.

I used to run large tech conferences and to have a timer for the speakers I had to pay ridiculous prices for the AV companies to haul over 10-year-old hardware... I wish stagetimer had existed back then! Awesome product and congrats on the launch!

@rbouschery Thanks Robbie! I'm happy we can offer an alternative now. Maybe you will get to use Stagetimer in future projects. 😉
Lukas Hermann

@rbouschery That's pretty much the use case. We still have one big milestone, a downloadable version, to make Stagetimer really conference event venue proof 😅
Stefan Wirth
@rbouschery Surprised you didn't build your own 👀 Are you even a real dev? 😏
Dominik Sumer
following the journey of both of you is super inspiring, you pour so much love into it which results in an outstanding product! all the best for the launch, I see you're already crushing it 🔥😄

@dominiksumer Thanks for such a kind and supportive message Dominik! Now let's see if Stagetimer will hold its position :D

Hi Lukas & Liz, After watching the Stagetimer 2.0 walkthrough video on Youtube, I was literally happy, excited, and astonished about the redesigned UI-UX granularity features of this very professional tool perfectly built for Run Of Show / Rundown producers tools like in tv-broadcast and event industries. Huge congrats to you guys, as you are continually improving this tool with a transparent roadmap on all points. This is exactly what virtual producers from small companies need to elevate their production skills.

@rudy_arconte Thanks for such a nice feedback Rudy! We are truly happy to be able to provide this service for producers and teams working on events, broadcasting and video production in general. Feel free to let us know if there is anything we can improve.

Does it work as email sales countdown timer by a chance? PS: This one looks very cool TBH. Bookmarking it and upvoting it anyway!

@josecar It's not exactly designed for that. But I'm about to add the option to show the countdown like so "1d 2h 24m 41s" ... maybe that helps

The timer was great. While not the primary purpose, I've used StageTimer.io for workouts and it was very clear to setup and see. Great product. Good luck with the launch!

@nick_campbell2 How nice to know that you have used Stagetimer already Nick! And thanks for the support!
Conrad von Grebel
As a livestream agency, one wonders how could we do without stagetimer.io.... ... oh that's right, with lots of money and cable everywhere or even better with an ipad, apple tv, a tv and a wifi router, where we then had to reset the app every time. Stagetimer.io is one of those tools that makes you wonder why it hasn't been around for a long time, it would have saved us so many nerves, effort and costs.... Hats off!

@conrad_von_grebel Thanks for the feedback Conrad! I'm glad we can save producers from unnecessary stress. :D
