Description
Show Timer is a powerful, minimalist and performer-focused visual timer that helps you stay on track without breaking your flow. Whether you're on stage, hosting an event, leading a workshop or giving a talk, Show Timer lets you manage time silently using bold, colour-coded cues - green, yellow and red - so you and your team know exactly where you are in the set.
No clocks in the venue? No tech support? No problem. Show Timer turns your phone into a silent, colour-changing cue light - ideal for self-managed performances, talks or group work where staying on time matters.
Built for performers by performers, Show Timer was designed with comedians, improvisers, actors and workshop leaders in mind. Put your phone at the side of the stage, on a stool or backstage. The screen colour will change at key points during your show, letting you see at a glance when to keep going, when to wrap up and when time’s up - without pulling focus or relying on someone else.
TIMER MODES
1. Timer
Counts up from 0. Always starts green. You can specify when it turns yellow and red. It keeps counting up forever - ideal for open-ended sets or rehearsals.
2. Duration
Counts down from a set time. Starts green, turns yellow when you choose and red at the end (default red is at 0:00). After hitting zero, it starts counting up in negative numbers - great for tracking overruns or managing strict time slots.
3. Clock
Displays the current time in green. You can set a time for it to turn yellow or red, for example from 19:00 to 19:50. Great for festival shows, conferences or classes with set start and end times.
DISPLAY MODES
1. Border
The screen background stays black, with a bright green/yellow/red border. Time is shown in white text - ideal for low-light settings or backstage use.
2. Background
The full screen changes to green, yellow or red. The time is displayed in contrasting text. Great for mid-stage visibility.
3. Background Only
Full background colour with no visible text (time is technically shown in a very faint colour to indicate that the app is still running). Designed for group use or immersive settings where you only want to see the cue, not the clock.
