What Club Timer does

Timing and signals

A timer you can read from across the room

The Timer tab shows the current speaker, a large clock inside a ring that fills toward red, and the three signal times underneath.

• The ring changes colour at green, yellow and red, and the label above the clock says how long is left before the next signal.
• Signal mode turns the whole screen into the current colour, so you can hold the phone up for the speaker. Tap anywhere to go back.
• Previous, Stop, Pause, Next and Restart sit at the bottom of the screen within reach of your thumb. Next stops at the end of the queue instead of looping back to the start.
• Vibration and a beep when the signal changes are optional, and the screen stays on for the whole meeting.

Verdicts follow contest rules. A speech more than 30 seconds under green or 30 seconds or more over red is disqualified. Table Topics has no grace below the minimum, so an answer under 1:00 is disqualified.

Agenda import

Set up the meeting from the printed agenda

Most clubs print their agenda from the club website. Club Timer reads that PDF, or a photo of the paper copy, and builds the meeting for you.

• Agenda PDF, a photo or photos from your library. Photos are read on your device, one page at a time.
• Check before you import. A review screen lists every role, member and time limit so you can fix a misread name first.
• Speakers are queued automatically with the right speech type, evaluators are matched to their speakers, and five Table Topics slots are added. Backup speakers stay on the agenda without being queued.
• Stay on schedule. The Agenda tab tracks each item against its printed start time and shows whether the meeting is on schedule or running behind.

Live sharing

The meeting, live on every member's phone

Share the meeting and members can follow along on their own devices, in the Club Timer app or any web browser.

• Three ways to join: scan the QR code, open the link, or type the meeting code in Club Timer under "Join a live meeting".
• Members see everything: the running timer, the agenda, the speaker queue and the summary. Their view is read-only, so nothing changes by accident.
• People following lists everyone who joined, with their name and whether they're online. Turn on Co-host for anyone who should help run the meeting; co-hosts can start the timer and edit speakers and the agenda from their own phone.
• You stay in control. Remove anyone, take co-host away at any time, and tap Stop sharing at the end. The shared copy is deleted from our server straight away.

Meeting summary

The Timer's report, written for you

End the meeting and the Summary tab has everything the Timer reads out at the end.

• Each speaker's time and verdict: in time, short, over or disqualified, with their pace and filler count.
• Totals at the top: how many speakers were in time, over or under, and how long the meeting ran.
• Against the agenda: if you imported an agenda, the summary says whether the meeting ran over its planned time and by how much.
• Export the summary as a PDF or CSV file, or send it by email.
