Features

Live multi-device sync

Start it on your phone and it starts everywhere — the venue scoreboard, the bench tablet, and your OBS overlay — at the same instant, down to the second. Control from anywhere, display everywhere. No other free timer does this.

Game clock or stopwatch

Count down for game clocks, rounds, and intervals, or count up as a stopwatch to time drills and attempts.

Scheduled "starts at" countdown

Count down to a set time — "Stream starts at 19:00" or "Kick-off at 15:00" — so your broadcast or venue screen is ready before anyone arrives.

Buzzer, end message & title

End on a buzzer with a custom on-screen message and title — "Time!", "Round over", "Back in 5" — perfect for rounds, halftimes, and break screens.

Nine formats, up to 100 hours

Show hours, minutes and seconds, or down to tenths — nine display formats and durations from a few seconds to 100 hours.

Custom colours, fonts & progress bar

Match your brand or stream theme with custom background and progress-bar colours, a choice of fonts, four text sizes, and a circular, horizontal, or hidden progress bar.

Full-screen & OBS browser source

A clean, high-contrast full-screen view for any TV, projector, or phone — or drop the link in as an OBS / Streamlabs browser source for a synced stream countdown.

One shareable link, no install

Share a single link that works in any browser on any device. Nothing to download, nothing to install — for you or your viewers.

Online Timer FAQ

Yes — this is what sets KeepTheScore apart from other free online timers. Open your timer's display link on any number of screens, then start, pause, and reset from your own timer page on your phone — every screen follows in perfect sync, whether it's the venue scoreboard, the projector, or your live stream.

Yes. Add your timer's display link as a browser source in OBS or Streamlabs and you get a clean, synced countdown overlay for "starting soon", halftime, and break screens — controllable from your phone mid-broadcast.

Yes. Count down for game clocks, rounds, and shot-clock drills, or count up as a stopwatch. Display it full-screen on the venue screen and keep every courtside display in sync.

It works well for round and rest timers and for timing HIIT and interval blocks on the gym screen, with a buzzer and end message at the end of each block. A dedicated round/interval mode is on the roadmap; for now, set the duration and use the buzzer to signal each change.

Yes. The timer is synced to our server clock and anchored to a fixed end time rather than counting frames, so it stays accurate even if a device sleeps, a tab goes to the background, or a screen reconnects partway through.

Yes. If you just need a fixed countdown, the 5 minute timer starts the moment the page loads and runs full-screen — no setup. Sign up to control it from your phone and sync it to any other screen.

Yes — the same synced timer, framed for teachers, lives on our sister site. See the classroom timer at Leaderboarded for exam countdowns, station rotations, and brain breaks.

"We use Keepthescore.com to update our livestream through OBS and it is FLAWLESS. I chose it because it was the easiest to incorporate into OBS and easiest to update. No installation needed, just adding a simple weblink and you're up and running!"

"I use Keepthescore for my son's high school ultimate frisbee game streaming. It works great. Very easy to use and I love that another parent can keep score while I'm busy with the video streaming. The interface is so easy that you only need about 30 seconds to train up a new user!"
