Getting started with Kloksi
Kloksi is a stage timer that runs in your browser. One person runs the timers, and every screen stays in sync. There's nothing to install.
Run your first show
You don't need an account to try Kloksi. Opening it gives you a new room, ready to use.
- Open Kloksi. Go to app.kloksi.com. A new room opens on its Controller, the page you run the show from. It already has one 5-minute timer.
- Add your timers. Click Add Timer for each part of your show. Click a timer's title to name it, and its duration to change its length.
- Open a screen. Click Outputs, choose Viewer, then click Open Output. The Viewer is what your presenter sees. Open it on a second device, or copy its link and send it to whoever needs it.
- Press Play. The timer starts on the Controller and on the Viewer at the same moment.
- Save your room. Click Save in the Controller's header and sign up, so the room stays on your dashboard.

How Kloksi fits together
- A room is one show. It holds everything below and has its own address.
- A timer is one part of the show, such as a talk or a break.
- A room has two stages, each with its own list of timers. You can ignore the second one until you need it.
- The cue says which stage the Controller's buttons act on.
- An output is a page that shows the show to someone: the Viewer, the Agenda or the Moderator. Each has its own link.
- A message is a short text you put on the screen for your presenter.
