Install it as an app
Installing runs TimedFlow in its own window with no browser chrome, and puts it in your dock, taskbar or home screen. It is the same app, so rooms, timers and your account carry over.
- 1Chrome, Edge or Brave: open your dashboard and use the Install button in the banner, or the install icon in the address bar.
- 2iPhone or iPad: open TimedFlow in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- 3Android: open the browser menu and choose Install app.
What works without a connection
The timer itself is calculated on your device from the moment the segment started, not fetched from the server. A display that loses its connection keeps counting correctly and rejoins on its own when the network returns.
What needs a connection is changing things: starting a segment, sending a message, or picking up a change somebody else made. Commands you send while offline are queued and replayed on reconnect.
Stage displays and kiosk mode
A screen showing a timer should not go to sleep. The viewer holds a wake lock while a timer is running, and you can make that unconditional for a permanent display:
- Add
?kiosk=1to the viewer link to keep the screen awake even between segments. - Press F on the viewer for fullscreen, or B to black out that screen only.
Transparent overlay for OBS and vMix
Add ?transparent=1 to a viewer link and the page renders with a real alpha channel: no background, no decoration, just the clock and any message. Point a browser source at it and it composites straight over your scene.
- 1Copy the viewer link from the controller and add
?transparent=1to the end. - 2In OBS, add a Browser source and paste the link. Leave Shutdown source when not visible unchecked so the timer keeps running.
- 3Set the width and height to match your canvas, then position it in your scene.
Notes
?chroma=1and?overlay=1do the same thing and still work.- Use the Broadcast layout preset in the output customiser for flat, high contrast type that survives compression.
- Wrap-up and critical colours can be matched to your graphics package in the same panel.
Taking a room with you
The controller can export a room's whole rundown as JSON and import it into another room. It is the fastest way to reuse a show format, hand a running order to a colleague, or keep a copy before a big edit.
