Start in 60 seconds

1. Open ProTimer. Control is for the operator; the frameless Screen window is for the audience.
2. Open Duration, set HH:MM:SS or choose a minute preset, then press START.
3. Drag and resize Screen with the mouse, or select a monitor and use Send to screen / fullscreen from Control.
4. For audience phones, use the view-only Timer or Backstage QR and choose Show QR to audience.

What changed

• The timer preview in Control stays large and centred even when grid placement moves the real stage output.
• Main and rundown durations now use one clear HH:MM:SS picker with step controls and minute presets.
• A prominent START RUNDOWN button always launches the first cue; the redundant small Start and visible CSV/import buttons are gone.
• Long rundowns keep every cue at a readable fixed height and scroll inside the rundown card instead of compressing rows.
• The output window is always frameless while remaining movable and resizable directly with the mouse. Fullscreen is controlled only from Control.
• View-only Timer and Backstage QR codes can be shown directly on the audience output. Control-token URLs are rejected.
• Existing Colors/Text, Grid, Thresholds, Message, Compact, network, remote, backstage and automation controls remain available.
• Phone viewers continue to use host-clock synchronisation and rate-limited rendering; the release smoke test covers local SSE, public long-poll, clock skew and 100-cue Backstage performance.

For show-critical remote viewing, LAN + QR remains the recommended path. Share Online is still a beta third-party tunnel.

ProTimer v2.0.1

ProTimer 2.0.1

This release focuses on reliable phone viewing and public sharing.

• Public viewers now synchronise to the ProTimer computer's clock, so a phone with an inaccurate clock no longer shows the wrong remaining time.
• Share Online now prefers a bundled, verified Cloudflare Quick Tunnel and uses reliable HTTPS long-polling instead of tunnel-hostile SSE. A labelled fallback remains available when Cloudflare cannot establish a healthy route.
• Public viewer changes were measured at 76 ms from a local timer command to the remote held-poll response in the release user-flow test.
• Output, remote and Backstage rendering is rate-limited and avoids rebuilding unchanged DOM, removing the large cue-list workload that caused lag on slower phones.
• Fixed cancelled auto-advance timers, deleting the active cue, CSV delimiter detection, remembered output monitor selection and timer-changing arrow keys while a form control is focused.
• Expanded smoke coverage for time sync, public transport, long-poll delivery, phone clock skew, 100-cue Backstage rendering and the fixed timer/rundown behaviours.

Share Online remains beta and has no uptime guarantee. A public viewer can see timer and rundown data, including cue names and notes; do not include sensitive notes. For show-critical viewing, use the LAN + QR link when possible.
