Meeting Timer

Run structured, agenda-driven meetings with per-segment countdowns, live drift tracking, and instant recap exports. Your agenda stays in your browser unless you share a live link.

How it works

Plan your agenda items, presenters, and durations. During the meeting, the timer keeps track of the current segment, showing you whether you are ahead or behind schedule. When finished, copy a plain text or Markdown recap to share with your team.

Different from the single-item timer — that one runs a single countdown; this one runs a sequence with automatic rebalancing options.

Meeting Timer

The EasyTimer meeting timer helps facilitators plan an agenda, guide a live meeting one segment at a time, and leave with a written recap. Add agenda items with assigned durations, then start the meeting when the group is ready. During the meeting, the live view shows the current item and timing drift; after the meeting, review captured notes, decisions, and actions in a report. Use it for team check-ins, workshops, planning sessions, retrospectives, interviews, or any meeting where a visible agenda and record of outcomes are useful.

What can you use a meeting timer for?

  • ✓Team check-ins — give each update a planned slot, keep the agenda visible, and record follow-up actions while the discussion is fresh.
  • ✓Planning and decision meetings — organize topics in advance, capture decisions alongside the relevant agenda item, and carry actions into the recap.
  • ✓Workshops and facilitated sessions — make the next segment and its time allocation visible so the group can move through exercises and discussion deliberately.
  • ✓Retrospectives — set time for each discussion area, note observations and decisions, and export a recap for people who need the outcomes afterward.
  • ✓Interviews and review conversations — keep a structured sequence of topics on screen and leave room to capture notes during the conversation.
  • ✓Remote or hybrid meetings — use a presenter view for facilitation and a separate audience link when attendees need a read-only view of the current agenda and timer.

How it works

  1. 1

    Build the agenda

    Add agenda items, give each item a duration, and arrange them in the order the meeting will follow. Add notes or facilitation cues to an item when the person leading the discussion needs a reminder. The planned durations create the schedule that the live meeting can compare against.

  2. 2

    Start and guide the meeting

    Start the live meeting when participants are ready. The current agenda item and its countdown stay visible as you move through the plan. Pause when the discussion needs to stop, advance to the next item when the group is ready, or skip an item that no longer belongs in the meeting.

  3. 3

    Adjust timing and capture outcomes

    If a discussion runs over, the default behavior keeps later item durations and pushes the schedule end later. When you choose to extend an overrun item with absorb behavior selected, eligible later items may be shortened, up to their available capacity, to offset that extension. The meeting view tracks drift against the plan. Capture notes, decisions, and action items against the relevant agenda item so the record retains its context.

  4. 4

    Review and share the recap

    When the meeting ends, open the report to review agenda timing and the notes, decisions, and actions recorded during the session. Use the recap actions to copy or export the meeting summary in Markdown. The report gives attendees a record of what was discussed and what needs follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the meeting timer work?

Create an agenda with a duration for each item, then start the live meeting. The timer follows the current item, shows timing drift against the planned schedule, and lets the facilitator pause, advance, skip, or adjust the active item. A report is available after the meeting.

Can I change the agenda while a meeting is live?

Yes. The live meeting supports editing agenda items, and the facilitator can move through the agenda as the discussion changes. You can skip an item or adjust the active item’s duration instead of ending the session and starting over.

What happens when a meeting runs over its agenda?

The live view shows drift between the planned agenda and elapsed meeting time. By default, later item durations stay the same and the schedule end moves later. If you choose to extend an overrun item with absorb behavior selected, eligible later items may be shortened up to their available capacity to offset the extension.

Can I record decisions and action items?

Yes. Meeting notes, decisions, and action items can be captured with agenda items. Keeping them attached to the relevant part of the agenda makes the post-meeting report useful for follow-up.

Can I share the agenda with attendees?

The meeting provides a read-only audience view that can be opened from a separate meeting link. Attendees can follow the current agenda and timer without using the facilitator’s controls.

Can I export a meeting recap?

Yes. After the meeting, review the report and use its recap actions to copy or export the meeting summary as Markdown. The report includes the meeting record captured in the agenda, including notes, decisions, and actions.

Does the meeting timer need an account?

No account is required to plan and run a meeting with EasyTimer.app. Open the route in a browser, prepare the agenda, and start the session when the group is ready.
