Timer

A full-screen countdown / count-up timer for digital signage. Ticks the days, hours, minutes and seconds to a target instant, then counts up the elapsed time once it passes, so the same screen handles a launch countdown or a "days since" board. Set an optional title, time zone, and a message shown when the target is reached. Everything arrives in the launch URL, so one deployment times any event.

Paste this link into Anthias, Screenly, or any compatible smart TV or signage player.

A big, readable timer on any screen

The Timer app shows a large countdown timer or count-up timer on any display, counting down to a moment or counting up from one. It's readable across a room and needs no setup beyond the target time.

Ways teams use it

  • Event and webinar countdowns ("starting in..." on the room screen)
  • Product launches, sales, and campaign deadlines
  • "Days since last incident" safety boards on factory and warehouse floors
  • Sprints, workshops, and classroom activities kept on schedule

Already running something else? These apps work there too. Each one is a standard web page, so it plays on BrightSign players, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS displays, Android and Amazon Fire TV devices, and on digital signage platforms such as Yodeck, ScreenCloud, OptiSigns, Xibo, Rise Vision and TelemetryTV. If your player can show a URL, it can run these apps.
