1. Create and save your timer
From the home page, select Create free timer. You will be taken to your control panel. Copy your private control URL into a safe bookmark. Its secret key is included after the # symbol—do not publish it.
2. Paste the overlay into OBS
Open OBS Studio. Under Sources select +, choose Browser, and create a source. Paste only the OBS overlay URL from the control panel. Use Width 650 and Height 120. The overlay background is transparent. Position the source wherever you want on your scene.
3. Start, pause, split and reset
Use your private control page to start or pause. Pause preserves the elapsed value. Start resumes it. Split adds a checkpoint and Undo split removes the latest one. Reset stops the timer, clears elapsed time and splits, and asks for confirmation.
4. Change the overlay appearance
Choose a digit color, whether to display hundredths of a second, and whether to show a label. Copy the newly generated OBS URL again after changes; existing OBS Browser Sources do not automatically change their URL.
5. Avoid losing access
The browser remembers your latest timer on that device, but clearing browser data may erase the saved secret. Keep a separate copy of the complete private control link. If the link is lost, there is no password recovery for that timer.
Troubleshooting: blank or frozen overlay
First open the overlay URL in a normal browser tab. If it loads, confirm that OBS uses the same URL. In OBS, right-click the Browser Source and refresh it. Check its size (650 × 120) and internet connection. If the control page is disconnected, reopen it and keep the link secret.
About keyboard shortcuts
While the control page is focused, Space toggles the timer, S records a split and R asks to reset. These are page shortcuts, not global hotkeys: they will not work while a game has keyboard focus.
