The Timer page gives you a full-screen countdown display for the currently tracked item on your rundown. It's designed to be thrown on a confidence monitor, a backstage display, or a second screen so your team always knows how much time is left without needing to watch the main rundown. You can also configure it to show the item name, a time-of-day clock, and speaker notes — all saved per device.
How to open the Timer page
The easiest way to access the Timer page is directly from the header of your rundown. Next to the item run time clock in the top navigation bar, click or hover the clock to access the settings button.
Open — opens the Timer page in a new browser tab immediately
Copy — copies the Timer page URL to your clipboard so you can share it with your team or paste it into another window
What you'll see
The Timer page shows a single, large countdown number centered on the screen. The display responds to your rundown's tracking state in real time:
Green — time is remaining on the current item
Red with a "+" prefix — the item has gone over its allotted time
The number pauses when tracking is paused
Browser tab updates
The browser tab title also counts down live, so you can monitor time from any tab without switching back to the timer page. The tab shows:
The current countdown (e.g.,
2:45 - My Show Name)+0:12 - My Show Namewhen over time2:45 (Paused) - My Show Namewhen tracking is paused
Customizing the display
Click the gear icon in the bottom-right corner of the Timer page to open the settings panel. You'll find three toggles that let you tailor the display for your setup.
Row Name
When enabled, the title of the currently tracked rundown item appears above the countdown clock. Useful when the timer is on a confidence monitor — the presenter or stage manager can confirm which item is running without referencing a separate screen.
Updates automatically as tracking advances to the next item.
If the tracked item has no title, nothing is displayed.
Time of Day
When enabled, the current wall-clock time appears in the top-right corner of the Timer page. It stays in sync with your event's configured timezone and respects your event's 12-hour or 24-hour clock preference.
Speaker Notes
When enabled, a column selector appears below the toggle. Choose any rich-text column from your rundown and its content for the currently tracked item will display below the countdown clock, giving presenters or stage managers an on-screen reference without needing a separate prompter.
Toggle Speaker Notes on.
Select the column to pull notes from in the dropdown that appears.
Notes update automatically as tracking advances.
Notes:
Only rich-text columns appear in the column selector.
If the tracked item has no content in the selected column, the notes area is hidden automatically.
Settings are saved per device
All three settings are stored locally in the browser. Each device, a stage manager's laptop, a confidence monitor, a backstage display, can have a different configuration without affecting anyone else's view.
Tips
Use Copy from the header popover to share the timer URL with a stage manager or crew member. They can open it on any device without needing access to the full rundown.
Open the timer page in a separate browser window and move it to a second monitor or confidence screen for hands-free visibility.
The display is fully responsive - the text scales up automatically to fill the screen, so it works on any display size.
The timer is synced to server time, so it stays accurate across multiple devices viewing the same show simultaneously.
The timer only counts down for the currently tracked item. Use the tracking controls on the main rundown to start, pause, or advance the timer.
