When does pre-order open?
Will this ship internationally?
Whatever kind of event you're running — an awards night, a fundraiser, a product launch, a milestone celebration — the moment there's a running order and a room full of people, timing slips and questions get lost. asktimer.com gives your host a live control view, your speakers a confidence monitor, and your audience a link to submit and upvote questions, all tied to the same event.
How it works
Add your speakers and timers
Set up your run of show — however many speakers or segments your event has.
Share three links
One for your host to run the room, one for each speaker's confidence monitor, one for your audience to submit and upvote questions.
Run it live
Start each countdown as you go, and watch questions roll in and sort themselves by vote count.
Live stage timer
Countdown per speaker, host controls, and a confidence monitor your speaker can glance at from the podium.
Audience Q&A, built in
Your audience submits questions and upvotes the ones they care about most, live, from their own phone.
How do you handle rate limiting for votes?
Can we moderate questions before they're shown?
One link each, nothing to install
Host, speaker, and audience each get a simple link. No app downloads, no accounts for anyone but you.
A countdown timer for events helps keep every segment of the night on schedule
Without a shared countdown, one segment running long cascades through the whole night — award ceremonies and product launches are especially prone to this, since every segment is watched by the same room.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep event speakers on time?
Give your host a live control view to start, pause, and adjust each speaker's countdown, and give each speaker a confidence monitor link so they can see their own remaining time without a stage manager waving from the wings.
What's a good free event timer app?
asktimer.com is free to start, no card required — a live countdown timer plus audience Q&A with upvoting, for as many speakers as your event needs.
How can my audience ask questions during an event without a microphone?
Share your event's audience link — attendees submit questions from their own phone and upvote the ones they most want answered, no mic or mic runner needed.
Can I moderate audience questions before they're shown?
Yes — hosts can mark questions covered or hide inappropriate ones without deleting the underlying record.
