Display timers at your events. Show presenters, performers and event staff how much time is left. Each event can have multiple schedules. Each item on a schedule can contain a countdown timer, count to timer, count up timer or show a clock. Perfect for Toastmasters meetings! The count up timers with colored backgrounds (green for minimum, yellow for target, red for maximum time) make it easy to signal speakers. Hide the timer digits to show just the colors, and use the Timer Actions Log to track all speaker times. On iOS Devices, the timer can be shown full-screen on external displays (with option to turn this off), while the built-in display can be used for controls and editing schedules.
