About:
Ontime is a versatile, free, and open-source application designed for precise time keeping in live events. It provides a suite of tools including a countdown timer, stopwatch, and schedule management, all viewable via a web browser. Its primary value is offering reliable, broadcast-ready clock overlays and control for production teams and event managers.
Key Features:
  • Real-time countdown timer, stopwatch, and clock with millisecond precision
  • Web-based interface for remote control and viewing on any device
  • OBS Studio and vMix integration for live stream overlays
  • Flexible schedule management with event rundown and cueing
  • Self-hosted and offline-capable
Use Cases:
  • Managing timings for presentations, speeches, and conference sessions
  • Controlling on-screen clocks and countdowns for live broadcasts and streams
  • Coordinating backstage operations for theatrical productions and concerts
Alternatives:
  • Lumia Stream – Similar focus on event timers and overlays, but often with more cloud-centric features.
  • OBS Studio (Native Timers) – OBS has built-in clock plugins, but Ontime offers a more robust, standalone control interface.
