Backstage & FOH Alignment

Engineered for every seat in the production truck.

One synchronized countdown across front-of-house, stage floor wedges, green rooms, and live broadcast switchers.

Show Callers & Tech Directors

Call the show from one master clock.

"Run the entire session sequence from the exact rundown everyone else is watching. Catch overruns before doors, not mid-show."

  • Live elapsed & remaining delta
  • Automated rundown auto-advancing
  • Hotkeys: Space, R, B, & Arrow keys
Stage Managers & Talent Crews

Never wave cue cards again.

"Give keynote speakers giant, unmissable confidence displays without awkward hand waving from the aisles or whispering near mics."

  • 24vw auto-fitting bold numbers
  • Amber at 2m, Red at 30s warnings
  • Silent flashing talkback messages
Broadcast & Video Techs

Integrate with hardware & switchers.

"Map countdown triggers directly to Elgato Stream Deck physical keycaps and pipe transparent lower-thirds into OBS and vMix."

  • Stream Deck & Companion REST API
  • OBS Studio alpha channel overlay
  • Zero tab sleep drift (Web Worker)
Houses of Worship & Summits

Volunteer-friendly reliability.

"Keep worship service runtimes and sermon countdowns strictly in sync. Share a link and every screen, phone, and confidence monitor syncs in real time."

  • Real-time multi-screen cloud sync
  • Scan QR code to join instantly
  • Procedural soft bell & gong chimes
Engineered for Live Production

Built for the high-stakes reality of live stages.

Traditional web timers freeze when browser tabs sleep, and spreadsheets are impossible for presenters to read from 30 feet away. Shotimer fixes live timing once and for all.

Stage Confidence View

Giant, crystal-clear digits visible from the back row.

The Presenter View automatically expands typography up to 24vw to completely fill 75" venue TVs or stage floor wedges. Clean, high-contrast numerals guarantee presenters always know their remaining time at a glance.

  • Automatic color shifts: Reassuring green → Amber at 2 mins → Red at 30 seconds → Pulsing overtime.
  • True OLED Pitch Black (#000000): Perfect for seamless letterbox rendering on stage LED walls.
  • Screen Wake Lock API: Prevents stage laptops and tablets from ever dimming or going to sleep mid-event.

Silent Stage Talkback

Communicate with talent without interrupting their flow.

Need the speaker to wrap up for lunch, switch microphones, or take an urgent audience question? Send real-time text cues straight to the confidence monitor screen.

  • Instant screen takeover or subtle banner: Choose between gentle lower banner or prominent screen flash.
  • Color-coded priority: Neutral info notes vs urgent red wrap-up warnings.
  • Auto-clearing or persistent: Set cues to dismiss after 10 seconds or remain until acknowledged.

Hardware-Level Precision

Unthrottled Web Worker. Zero background tab drift.

Browsers aggressively throttle background tabs, causing ordinary JavaScript timers to lose 10–30 seconds when an operator switches to checking email or notes. Shotimer runs its timing clock inside an isolated Web Worker using performance.now() epoch deltas.

  • Ticking every 50ms: High-precision refresh rate ensures zero stutter on smooth countdown bars.
  • Procedural Web Audio API: Zero external mp3 downloads. Pure mathematical oscillators synthesize soft bell, marimba, and warning beeps directly.
  • Real-Time Cloud Synchronization: Connect unlimited stage monitors, laptops, and crew phones across any internet connection with sub-millisecond responsiveness.
// Web Worker Precision Engine
worker.postMessage({ type: 'START', duration: 1200000 });
// Tab minimized → OS thread prioritizes Worker:
delta = performance.now() - epochAnchor;
⏱ Drift Accumulated: 0.00ms (Rock solid)
✓ Procedural harmonic bell synthesized: 880Hz Sine

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the launch.

Shotimer is currently in final production testing and will launch publicly in 2026. Waitlist subscribers will receive early access before the public release, alongside exclusive founder benefits.
Yes. Shotimer includes a full Free Starter plan supporting up to 3 rooms, 3 timers per room, all core timing modes (countdown, count-up, wall clock), auto-advance linking, and unlimited connected viewers.
No. Speakers and stage talent never have to download software or sign in. You simply send them a viewer URL or let them scan a QR code from the director console. It opens in Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and tablet browsers with zero configuration.
Shotimer uses ultra-fast cloud pipelines to synchronize state instantly over the internet. When a director presses Play, adds time (+1m), or triggers a talkback flash message on the controller, all connected stage monitors, confidence displays, and crew mobile phones update in real time with sub-100ms latency.
Modern operating systems and browsers freeze inactive tabs to save battery. Shotimer solves this by decoupling its clock calculation into a dedicated HTML5 Web Worker thread that runs continuously at 50ms intervals using high-resolution hardware timestamps (performance.now()).
Yes. Shotimer includes an offline local broadcast server mode that runs on any venue laptop and pairs with phones and tablets over local Wi-Fi with zero external internet required.
Shotimer is engineered specifically to eliminate background tab throttling with an unthrottled Web Worker engine, procedural Web Audio API chimes that require zero audio file downloads, native auto-advance linking, and real-time cloud synchronization across all devices.
