On each device, choose Control (operator) or Display (stage screen). Switch anytime with the gear icon. How it works • Put all devices on the same Wi‑Fi network • Enter the same Room Code so your session stays private • Set one device as Control and the rest as Displays • Devices usually find each other within a few seconds A common setup Use an iPhone or Mac as Control, and iPads (or phones) as Displays where presenters can see them—or a discreet phone on a podium controlled from offstage. Warnings Yellow and red thresholds (in minutes) help presenters see when time is running out. When the countdown ends After a brief flash at 00:00, choose what happens next: • None — stay on 00:00 • Count Up — show overtime so everyone knows how far past the limit • Flash — flash 00:00 in red until you stop it • Clock — switch to the current time Also included • Multiple Displays from one Control • Adjust the time while the countdown is running • Font size control for stage readability • Always-on dark interface; screen stays awake during use • Space bar Start/Stop on Mac Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Timing runs entirely on your local network—no account and no internet required for a session.
