Free plan: 3 rooms, 3 timers and 3 screens per room. No card needed.

A countdown for every agenda item

Add each item on the agenda as a timer, with who is leading it and how long it should take. Everyone in the room can see the time left on the meeting room screen.

  • Move on together: link items so the next one starts as soon as one ends.
  • A gentle nudge: the digits turn yellow and then red as an item runs out of time.
  • Add a minute: give a good discussion a little longer with one click.

Know when the meeting will really finish

Shotimer keeps track of the whole meeting, not just the current item, so you can see straight away if you're going to overrun.

  • Over or under: see how far ahead or behind the meeting is.
  • Projected finish: the time the meeting will now end.
  • Expected start times: every item shows when it should begin.
