StageTimerControl is a browser-based command center for live event timing. Build rundowns, control countdown/count-up timers remotely, sync presenter screens, send silent speaker cues, and monitor connected devices - no installation required.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
We built StageTimerControl around a simple problem: running a live event shouldn't mean watching a stopwatch, waving at speakers from the back of the room, and juggling separate spreadsheets and screens.
StageTimerControl turns your browser into a live-event timing control room.
🎛 Control timers remotely
🗓 Build your event rundown
🖥 Sync presenter and team displays
💬 Send silent cues like “2 minutes left” or “Wrap up”
📡 Monitor connected devices
⏱ Run countdown, count-up and clock timers
There's nothing to install. Create a room, share the viewer link, and your speakers or team can open it on practically any device.
We built it for conferences, presentations, livestreams, church services, webinars, studios, meetings and any situation where running over by five minutes can throw off everything that follows.
There's a free plan, and Pro is available monthly, yearly or with lifetime access.
I'd especially love feedback from event producers, AV teams, speakers and anyone who has had to keep a live show on schedule:
What would make StageTimerControl indispensable for your events?
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
StageTimerControl is fantastic because it makes live-event timing much easier to manage. Having a centralized browser-based system for timers, speaker cues, rundowns, and connected displays gives event teams better control and helps keep presentations running smoothly and on schedule. The simple remote-control approach is especially useful for professional events where timing really matters.
What needs improvement
The product already covers the core needs well. It could become even more powerful with additional integrations for popular presentation and event platforms, more customization for timer displays, and advanced reporting or analytics for reviewing event timing after a session. Continued improvements to mobile and remote-control workflows would also be valuable.
vs Alternatives
I considered traditional presentation timers, standalone countdown apps, and more complex event-production tools. StageTimerControl stood out because it brings the essential timing and cueing features together in a simple, browser-based workflow without requiring a complicated setup.
StageTimerControl is simple, reliable, and very easy to use. I especially like being able to control the timer remotely while displaying it on another screen for speakers or presenters. The clean timer display, real-time synchronization, multiple timers, and presenter messaging features make it very useful for conferences and live events. It saves time during setup and helps keep the entire event running on schedule.
What needs improvement
The platform already covers the main features I need, but there is always room to improve the user experience. More customization options for timer displays, additional themes, deeper integrations with event and presentation tools, and more advanced reporting or timer history could make it even better. A dedicated mobile experience could also be useful for production teams controlling events on the go.
vs Alternatives
I considered using basic online countdown timers and other presentation timer tools. However, I wanted something specifically designed for stage and event management, with remote control, separate viewer screens, and the ability to communicate with presenters. StageTimerControl brought these features together in one straightforward solution.
