Show a clean, full-screen countdown to your presenter while you control it from across the room — or across the world. No installs, no learning curve, and no paywall on the features you actually need.
● No credit card. No signup required. Live in under 30 seconds.
Trusted by churches, conferences, classrooms, gyms, and studios to start the show on time.
A speaker who can't see the clock runs over. A producer juggling a laptop can't leave the booth. A volunteer who needs the timer is stuck waiting for a license. Timing shouldn't be the hardest part of your event — it should be the easy part.
The differences you'll feel in the first 30 seconds.
We don't gate the basics and then charge to unlock the rest. Running it, sharing it, controlling it live — all free, with no trial clock counting down.
Spend your budget on the event, not the timer.
Built mobile-first: tap to start, pause, add time, or fire a message — from a layout designed for thumbs, not a shrunk-down desktop dashboard.
Walk the floor or run it from the green room. The controls come with you.
Beyond a basic countdown: a giant high-contrast confidence view, color-coded warm-up and wrap-up tiers, flashing overtime alerts, and up to four live timers split on one screen.
Match the look to the room instead of forcing the room to match the timer.
Nothing to download, nothing to update — and nothing you'll have to pay to discover later.
A distraction-free countdown your presenter can read from the back of the room. Auto-resizing text, bold wrap-up colors as time runs low, nothing to misread.
Start, stop, adjust, and add time from any device — changes hit the stage display instantly. No refresh, no lag, no "did it work?"
Send a line straight to the presenter's screen — "wrap up," "louder," "skip to Q&A." It fills the screen and can flash to grab attention.
One link puts your team on the same timer in seconds. Send it by text, email, or QR code — viewers, moderators, and presenters all stay in sync.
Set up your segments ahead of time and run them in order, or jump around live as the show changes. Your whole agenda, ready before the doors open.
Phones, tablets, laptops, the venue's smart TV — if it opens a browser, it runs Big Timer. Nothing to download, nothing to update.
Open the app and you've got a timer — set a duration and you're ready to go.
Send the viewer link to your stage screen and the control link to your team.
Start the countdown, send messages, adjust on the fly. Done.
