Simple Timer
for Live Broadcasts
A minimal, distraction-free clock app built specifically for broadcast professionals who need to monitor multiple timezones and track countdown timers simultaneously.
Reduce cognitive load.
Every feature is designed to keep the operator's attention on the show - not on the clock app.
Dual live clocks
Two side-by-side clocks across 23 broadcast timezones for international productions.
scheduleUnlimited countdowns
As many cue timers as the show needs, each tied to either zone with independent alert offsets.
more_timeBuffer offsets
Subtract a pre-show buffer from the countdown so you're ready before the actual cue lands.
exposure_neg_1On-Air mode
Strip the UI to a giant countdown readable from across the gallery.
fullscreenPersistent state
Cues, zones, and preferences survive restarts - no re-entering setup before every show.
saveFull-screen alarms
Android alarms wake the device, take over the lock screen, and must be explicitly dismissed.
notifications_activeWhy free?
Cue Clock started because I needed a reliable, straightforward timing tool during live broadcast production. Everything else I tried felt overly complicated and cost a fortune.
Great tools should be accessible to everyone - independent producers, high-scale teams alike. Cost-free and ad-free, kept open source.

Completely open-source
Every line is public. No black boxes, no hidden telemetry beyond what you explicitly consent to. Fork it, audit it, self-host it. Broadcast infrastructure should be something the community owns - not rents.
