Are we still hiring for the Berlin office?
When's the next all-hands?
Long meetings drift when there's no visible clock and no structured way to handle questions. asktimer.com puts a countdown against each agenda item, gives whoever's leading a simple control view, and lets attendees submit and upvote questions instead of speaking over each other — useful for town halls, all-hands, board meetings, and any standup that keeps running long after it should have wrapped.
How it works
Turn your agenda into timers
One timer per agenda item, in order — as detailed or as loose as your meeting needs.
Run through it live
Move to the next item as discussion wraps, adjusting on the fly if one runs long.
Take questions in writing
Attendees submit and upvote questions instead of interrupting, so the agenda stays on track.
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 meetings helps everyone see how much time is left
Without a shared timer, meetings default to however long the loudest conversation runs. A visible countdown per agenda item is a surprisingly small change with an outsized effect.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep a meeting on time?
Set up a countdown per agenda item and run through them in order from a simple control view — everyone in the room or call can see time remaining, so "let's wrap this up" stops being a surprise.
What's a good free meeting timer app?
asktimer.com is free to start — an agenda countdown plus a written, upvoted Q&A queue, so you don't need a paid timer app and a separate polling tool for one meeting.
How do I collect questions in a meeting without people talking over each other?
Attendees submit questions in writing from their own device and upvote the ones they most want addressed, so the discussion stays structured instead of turning into cross-talk.
Is there an anonymous Q&A option for team meetings?
Yes — there's no login for attendees, so questions are submitted without an attached name by default, which tends to surface more honest questions in town halls and all-hands.
