These points may be quoted or adapted without requesting additional permission.

Dedicated output

A clean frameless timer can be moved, resized or sent fullscreen independently from the operator controls.

OBS and phones

Use a transparent OBS Browser Source, control from a phone and display view-only Timer or Backstage QR codes to an audience.

Rundown

Cues include names, durations, notes and planned times, with NOW/NEXT and projected over-or-under status.

Automation

Bitfocus Companion, Generic HTTP, OSC, Stream Deck, QLab and TouchOSC workflows are supported.

Phone stability

Viewer clocks synchronise to the ProTimer host and rendering is rate-limited to reduce drift and unnecessary lag.

Please retain this limitation in reviews: current downloads are not code-signed or Apple-notarized, so Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper may show a first-launch warning.
