Stagetimer proves the model works: one person controls the clock and everyone else follows a link. It is aimed at event and AV teams and priced that way. ClockKeepers uses the same mechanic for gyms, classes and courts, with sport and class presets and a free tier that covers five viewers.
A good fit if you run events, conferences or church services and need rooms, agendas, audience questions and many simultaneous connections. Its free plan has 3 rooms, 3 timers per room and 3 live connections.
A good fit if you run a gym, class, studio or court and want presets, a phone as the controller, 5 free viewers, and a one-time price. It has no agenda tool, audience questions or room management for events.
