GeneratePPT ships free stage timer
Free Stage Timer is a browser-based event timing tool for meetings, presentations, churches, livestreams, and other live sessions where someone needs to keep things moving. It lets operators build a rundown, run segments live, open a fullscreen viewer on a second screen, display overtime, and send silent messages to the speaker. The tool is free, requires no login, and is positioned as a lightweight alternative to more production-heavy stage timer systems.
// ANALYSIS
This is a classic "small problem, sharp execution" launch: it avoids bloat and focuses on the exact control loop stage operators actually need.
- –The rundown + live segment control is the core value, not an extra.
- –The separate controller/viewer split makes it practical for real rooms and projector setups.
- –Overtime and speaker messages are the right status signals for live events.
- –No login and browser-local communication lower adoption friction a lot.
- –The tradeoff is obvious: it is intentionally not a full production suite, so complex multi-operator workflows will still need a heavier tool.
