medienwerk.eu - the creative works for visual experiences and events
A freely placeable timer window stays above every program – also above PowerPoint, Keynote or PDF presentations in full screen. It shows the time from Ontime or Stagetimer.io with time bar and messages, or the internal timer.
The timer window always stays on top – also above full-screen presentations, whether PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF presenters or the browser.
In the settings you choose on which monitor the window appears. If it is not connected, the window waits on the main screen.
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T (Mac: ⌃⌥⌘T) brings the window to the main screen. More shortcuts start and reset the internal timer – no clash with presentation software.
Drag it anywhere, resize it at every edge. The gear (top left) opens the settings, the X (top right) closes it.
Searches the network for Ontime and Stagetimer. If there are several, a window asks which timer to show. Connect Stagetimer in the cloud with room ID and API key.
The bar fills up while the event runs – green, orange and red according to Ontime's warning times. Stage messages appear in yellow below the time.
Without a stage timer the internal timer counts the presentation time. Start and pause with a shortcut or by double-clicking the time.
The timer window is not transmitted in screen sharing (Teams, Zoom) and recordings – can be switched off.
Standalone app for Windows 10/11 (icon in the notification area) and macOS (icon in the menu bar). In English, German and French.
Timeroverlay finds Stagetimer.io or Ontime in the network automatically and asks which timer to use – the internal timer can be chosen too. Ontime and Stagetimer are only read, never controlled.
The free version has all features and shows the timer for 10 minutes in total – after that it says “DEMO”. After registering the timer runs without limits.
Install it and try it for free.
In the timer window click the gear › “Register …”, enter name and e-mail, “Pay with PayPal”.
“Send registration details” opens an e-mail with your name and e-mail address.
Paste the unlock code from our e-mail – done.
For you on all your computers – desktop, laptop, event computers. Activated with name, e-mail and code, no time limit.
For companies, rental firms and event organizers: one code for any number of computers, without name or e-mail – valid for one year.
The unlock code works together with your name and e-mail address – please enter both in the app exactly the same way.
Mac: on the first start right-click → “Open”. Windows: if SmartScreen appears, click “More info” → “Run anyway”.
No. Timeroverlay is a standalone app and stays above every program – PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF presenters, browser or video player. For a timer built right into PowerPoint there is medienwerk Powerpoint-Timeroverlay.
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T (Mac: ⌃⌥⌘T) brings it to the main screen right away, e.g. when the projector was unplugged.
Only if you put the window on the projector screen. It is invisible in screen sharing and recordings.
Ontime (getontime.no) and Stagetimer (stagetimer.io) are stage timers for events. Timeroverlay shows their countdown, time bar and messages but never controls them.
You activate the personal license (5,00 €) on all your own computers with name, e-mail and code. For companies and event organizers with many computers a one-year master license is available on request.
The timer window shows “DEMO” and the registration window opens.
