Built for the high-stakes reality of live stages.
Traditional web timers freeze when browser tabs sleep, and spreadsheets are impossible for presenters to read from 30 feet away. Shotimer fixes live timing once and for all.
Giant, crystal-clear digits visible from the back row.
The Presenter View automatically expands typography up to 24vw to completely fill 75" venue TVs or stage floor wedges. Clean, high-contrast numerals guarantee presenters always know their remaining time at a glance.
- Automatic color shifts: Reassuring green → Amber at 2 mins → Red at 30 seconds → Pulsing overtime.
- True OLED Pitch Black (#000000): Perfect for seamless letterbox rendering on stage LED walls.
- Screen Wake Lock API: Prevents stage laptops and tablets from ever dimming or going to sleep mid-event.
Communicate with talent without interrupting their flow.
Need the speaker to wrap up for lunch, switch microphones, or take an urgent audience question? Send real-time text cues straight to the confidence monitor screen.
- Instant screen takeover or subtle banner: Choose between gentle lower banner or prominent screen flash.
- Color-coded priority: Neutral info notes vs urgent red wrap-up warnings.
- Auto-clearing or persistent: Set cues to dismiss after 10 seconds or remain until acknowledged.
Unthrottled Web Worker. Zero background tab drift.
Browsers aggressively throttle background tabs, causing ordinary JavaScript timers to lose 10–30 seconds when an operator switches to checking email or notes. Shotimer runs its timing clock inside an isolated Web Worker using performance.now() epoch deltas.
- Ticking every 50ms: High-precision refresh rate ensures zero stutter on smooth countdown bars.
- Procedural Web Audio API: Zero external mp3 downloads. Pure mathematical oscillators synthesize soft bell, marimba, and warning beeps directly.
- Real-Time Cloud Synchronization: Connect unlimited stage monitors, laptops, and crew phones across any internet connection with sub-millisecond responsiveness.
