Ontime is an innovative application designed to facilitate the creation and efficient management of event running orders and timers. With Ontime, users can easily input a comprehensive list of events, including scheduling and event information, to ensure seamless execution.
Once the event details are entered, Ontime generates a series of screens that can be accessed and rendered on any device connected to the network. This groundbreaking feature allows for a hassle-free and cost-effective distribution of event information throughout the venue, eliminating the need for expensive video outputs.
By utilizing a network infrastructure, Ontime revolutionizes the way events are organized and communicated, providing a simple yet powerful solution for event management.

How to use?
Once installed and running, Ontime starts a background server that is the heart of all processes. From the app, you can add / edit your running order and control the timer playback.
Any device with a browser in the same network can choose one of the supported views to render the available data. This is done by reaching the ontime server at the default port 4001 eg: localhost:4001 or 192.168.1.3:4001
You can then use the menu in the top left corner to select the desired view. The menu will be initially hidden until there is mouse interaction.
In the case of unattended machines or automation, it is possible to use different URL to recall individual views and extend view settings using the URL aliases feature.
