The countdown timer for conferences and corporate events

Keep a full conference day on schedule. Load the agenda once, step through the sessions with one button, and show every speaker exactly how long they have left — on stage, on the confidence monitor and on phones.

Hakol Timer conference countdown timer with a run of show

Load the agenda, then just press GO

Build the day as a list of cues — each with a title and a duration — or import it from a plain text file or JSON, so a thirty-session programme is ready in seconds. During the event you step through with next, previous or GO, which loads the next session and starts its countdown in one move.

Speakers always know where they stand

A large countdown on the stage screen or a dedicated confidence monitor.
Green, orange and red colour zones, then overtime in red.
Short messages to the speaker — "5 minutes", "wrap up", "take questions" — shown over the timer.
The session end time, so moderators can plan the handover.

Every room, every screen

Moderators, stage managers and the green room can follow the same timer on a phone or tablet: open the LAN web viewer address in any browser on the venue network. The streaming or IMAG team takes the timer as an NDI source, with an alpha channel if they want to key it over the programme.

Fits the production you already have

Hakol Timer ships a ready-made Bitfocus Companion module for Stream Deck control and listens for OSC, so it works alongside QLab, vMix and the rest of the control desk. Add your client's logo to the display for a branded look.
