About

UbiStage Timer

Read full description

A stage clock for iPhone and iPad – synced across every display. Many teams start timer apps manually on multiple devices. The result: clocks drift apart. UbiStage Timer solves this. One device becomes the host, all others sync automatically – virtually lag-free. Devices find each other automatically over local Wi-Fi. No setup, no pairing, no account. Just open and go. One host, unlimited screens. Use iPhones and iPads simultaneously as stage clocks – all showing the same time. Fully local, no internet needed. The automatic color change (white β†’ yellow β†’ red) gives speakers an intuitive sense of remaining time at a glance – no need to read numbers. The host can also send short text messages directly to all displays – perfect for spontaneous corrections during the event. Ideal for conferences, stage productions, trade shows, and live events. Free with one display during the beta. Activate a Timer Key in the app to unlock unlimited synced displays.
