A speaker timer on any confidence monitor, tablet or phone
Presenters need to see their time at a glance. Hakol Timer sends the live countdown to any screen on your network through a plain web address — no app on the display, no HDMI run to the lectern.
How it works
Hakol Timer runs a small web server on the operator's computer (port 1111 by
default). Open its address in the browser of any phone, tablet, laptop, smart TV or
signage player on the same network and the live timer appears instantly. Every viewer
updates in real time over the local network.
- Start Hakol Timer on the control computer.
- Open the viewer address shown in the app on the confidence monitor's browser.
- Put it in full screen — the speaker now sees the same countdown as the stage screen.
Made for presenters
- Colour warnings — green, orange, red, and overtime counting up in red.
- Messages to the speaker — "slow down", "louder", "5 minutes left", steady or flashing.
- Five styles — big digits for distance, or a ring, bar, dots or flip clock.
- End time — show when the slot finishes, or a time-of-day clock.
For every kind of speaker
Keynotes and conference sessions, sermons, panels, award shows, TEDx-style talks and debates. When the room needs a physical display, use the full-screen output window on a second monitor, or send the timer to the video system over NDI.
Frequently asked
What is a confidence monitor timer?
A timer shown on a screen facing the presenter — usually on the stage floor or lectern — so they can see how much time is left without looking away from the audience.
Do I need to install anything on the display?
No. Any device with a web browser on the same network can show the timer by opening the address Hakol Timer displays.
Can I send a message to the speaker?
Yes. Type a short message in the control window and it appears over the timer on every screen, optionally flashing.
Can several screens show the timer at once?
Yes. Every browser that opens the viewer address stays in sync with the same timer.
