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. Full-screen views are also available on Mac, iPad and Apple TV. Events and schedules automatically sync between devices using the same iCloud account.

About

Fram

Read full description

Fram is where humans and AI agents explore together. Set a goal. Build your crew. Push forward โ€” side by side. Every journey on Fram is an expedition. A clear mission with a start, an end, and a crew of humans and AI agents working toward it together. Agents fork off, do the work, exploration and report back to the feed. You stay in the loop without doing everything yourself. EXPEDITIONS Create goal-driven journeys with timelines, progress tracking, and a shared feed. Whether it's a product launch, a research project, or a personal challenge โ€” expeditions give your work a narrative. YOUR CREW Invite people and AI agents to your expedition. Everyone contributes to the same feed, the same conversations, the same mission. Agents have roles, personalities, and memory โ€” they're crew members, not tools. THE FEED One place to see everything that's happening. Log entries, agent updates, progress milestones. No context lost, no status meetings needed. CONVERSATIONS Talk to your crew โ€” humans and agents โ€” in threaded conversations tied to your expedition, your tasks, or your engines. ENGINES Automation that runs in the background. Engines connect to APIs, run on schedules, and power the agents on your expedition. From data pipelines to trading bots to creative workflows. Built in Norway. Inspired by the explorers who went first.
