The main event

Audience questions, without the extra tool

Most conference timer apps stop at the countdown. asktimer.com adds live Q&A with upvoting, so the most-wanted questions rise to the top before your speaker's time runs out — no separate polling subscription, no second link to share.

Frequently asked questions

Is asktimer.com really free?

Yes — start free, no card required. Create an event, add speakers and timers, and run live Q&A without paying anything up front.

How is this different from a standalone stage timer app?

Standalone stage timer apps are great at one thing: counting down. asktimer.com does that too, plus audience Q&A with upvoting built into the same event — no second tool, no separate login for your audience.

How is this different from a polling or engagement app?

Polling and engagement apps are built around slides and polls, not stage time. asktimer.com is built around the speaker's countdown first, with Q&A as a natural extension — one link for your audience, one control view for your host.

Do my speakers or audience need to install anything?

No. Speakers get a confidence-monitor link that opens in any browser. Your audience submits and upvotes questions from a link on their own phone — no app, no account.
