Projector-first timing
Run a clean, high-contrast stage display with countdown, clock, title, notes, and progress bar controls that can be shown independently.
Version 1.1.0 for production teams
Down to Earth
A calm, reliable countdown and projector controller for live rooms that need timing, titles, notes, reminders, and remote operation without drama.
Local-first
Remote PIN control
Stage projector ready
Real app preview
A focused controller for operators, a bold display for the room.
The controller keeps timing, rundown, messages, appearance, output, and settings close at hand. The projector strips everything back to what the room needs to see: title, timer, clock, and progress.
Controller
The main production surface for timer, playlist, messages, appearance, and output.
Projector
High-contrast stage output with timer, current title, clock, and progress bar.
Built for live operation
Everything the room needs, visible when it matters.
Remote room control
Share a local controller link or public tunnel, protect it with a PIN, and monitor connected phones, tablets, browsers, and projector clients.
Show-ready rundown
Build playlist items, attach production notes, run next or previous segments, and keep active progress visible while the room keeps moving.
Precise wrap-up cues
Set yellow and red thresholds, flash behavior, overtime warnings, title reads, TTS reminders, and item-level preset overrides.
Fast operator workflow
Quick presets, custom saved timers, live notes, reusable stage messages, timeline scrubbing, and reset-safe controls keep operation calm.
Local-first by design
The app runs from your machine, serves devices on your network, and keeps the projector usable even when internet access is not part of the plan.
Simple setup
From closed laptop to live projector in minutes.
Down to Earth keeps the control surface organized for repeated use: start the desktop app, open the stage display, share control only when needed, and operate the rundown from one place.
1
Open the desktop app on the production computer.
The host app serves the controller, projector, socket updates, and saved production settings.
2
Send the projector window to the room display or external screen.
The projector window can be opened, focused, reloaded, and controlled from the settings surface.
3
Share the controller link with trusted operators or keep it on the host machine.
Remote clients can require a PIN, and connected devices can be monitored or blocked.
4
Build a rundown, start a timer, and send title or notes live as the program changes.
Titles, notes, warning colors, messages, and wrap-up behavior stay synchronized across displays.

Questions
Before you install.
Does the projector need internet?
No. Local projector and controller workflows run on the host machine and local network. Internet is only needed for optional public tunnel sharing.
Can multiple people control the timer?
Yes. Remote controllers can connect from phones, tablets, and browsers. The host can require a PIN and block devices when needed.
What should Mac users download?
Most Mac users should choose the universal DMG. Apple Silicon users who want the smaller file can use the Apple Silicon DMG.
Is this build signed?
The current beta artifacts may still show operating-system trust prompts until final code signing and notarization are configured.
