A countdown / count-up timer for conferences and live events — driven from Bitfocus Companion, sent out over NDI, and mirrored to any phone or browser on the network.
Free for everyone · One license activates up to 5 computers · macOS (Apple Silicon) & Windows
Drive the whole timer from a Stream Deck. Hakol Timer ships a ready-made Companion module and installs it for you automatically — no config files to copy. You get stock buttons (GO, pause, reset, set-time, and combined time-plus-action buttons), live variables for the time, state and display mode, and button colours that follow the countdown from green to red.
Send the timer as a clean video source straight into Resolume Arena, vMix, OBS or any NDI-ready system on the same network — no capture card, no cables. Resolution and frame rate are configurable, and an optional alpha channel lets you key the timer over your own content.
A dedicated, borderless full-screen timer you can drag onto the stage screen, a projector, or a capture device. It locks to a clean 16:9 and shows exactly what the audience or speaker should see — the countdown and nothing else.
Open one web address on any phone, tablet, laptop or smart display on the network and it shows the live timer instantly — no app to install. Perfect for the speaker's confidence monitor, the stage manager or a green room, all updating in real time over the local network.
Choose how the countdown looks: big digits, a progress ring, a bar, dots, or a flip clock. Colour thresholds turn it green, then orange, then red as time runs low, and it keeps counting into overtime in red — so nobody misses an overrun. It also shows the wall-clock time the timer will end at.
Type a note to the presenter — "wrap up", "louder", "go to Q&A" — and it appears on their screen over the timer. Send it steady, or make it flash to grab attention, and clear it again in one tap.
Build your whole show as a list of cues — each with a title and duration — and step through them with next, previous, or GO (load-and-start). Import the run of show from a plain text file or JSON, so a thirty-item conference schedule is ready in seconds.
Nine one-tap duration presets, live −1 / −5 and +1 / +5 minute adjust, reset, and a count-up mode. Change a running timer on the fly, or queue the next segment's length without disturbing what's on screen. Everything is also controllable over OSC for deeper show-control setups.
An end-of-timer sound plays through the audio output you pick, with an optional warning beep before the end. Add your company logo to the display, show a live time-of-day clock, and switch the whole output to black or a test pattern in a click.
Hakol Timer is a free stage timer for conference and live-event operators — a modern, cross-platform take on the classic Irisdown Countdown Timer 2.0 workflow, with NDI, OSC and Bitfocus Companion built in rather than bolted on.

Yes. Hakol Timer publishes the timer as an NDI source that Resolume Arena, vMix, OBS and any other NDI-ready system on the network can pick up, with no capture card or cabling. Resolution and frame rate are configurable, and an optional alpha channel lets you key the timer over your own content.
Hakol Timer runs a small web server on your machine. Open its address in a browser on any phone, tablet, laptop or smart display on the same network and the live timer appears instantly, with nothing to install on that device.
Yes. Hakol Timer listens for OSC on UDP port 7000 by default and can send state feedback back to your controller, so it drops into QLab, Companion and other show-control systems.
