Tickwork
Every kind of clock, on every key.
In build. Write to us if you want a note when it lands.
Most timer plugins hand you a countdown and a stopwatch as two separate actions, and every key is an island. Tickwork gives you one Timer action that can be any kind of clock, sequences that run themselves, and group keys that drive a whole set at once.
Five kinds of clock, one action
Drop a Timer key and choose what it measures. You are not hunting through five different actions to find the one you want, and you can change your mind later without replacing the key.
You can read it from across the desk
Every key reads the same way, whatever it is measuring. The ring around the edge is time left and drains as it goes; the colour is how it is going. Nothing beeps, nothing pops up, and there is nothing to dismiss.
A countdown is allowed to run past zero and keep counting, so a timer you ignored tells you how late you are instead of quietly sitting at 0:00.
Sequences that run themselves
An interval is a list of named phases that hand over from one to the next on their own. Set how many times to run the list, or set it to zero and let it go forever. Press start once and the whole sequence looks after itself — the key shows the phase name, the round you are on, and a pip for each phase.
- •25 minutes of work then 5 off, four times through
- •40 seconds on and 20 off, eight rounds
- •Twenty seconds of looking out of the window, every twenty minutes, all day
Starting points for all of those are built in, and you can write your own phases in seconds or in mm:ss.
One key drives the whole set
This is the part a drawer full of separate timers cannot do. Give clocks a group name and one Group Control key will start, pause, reset, skip or lap every clock in that group with a single press. Toggle reads the group as a whole: if anything is running it stops everything, otherwise it starts everything.
Leave the group blank and the key means every clock you have. It shows how many it is pointed at, so you can see the group matches before you press it.

It does not drift
Every figure is worked out from the system clock rather than counted in ticks, so a busy machine, a sleeping laptop or a restart of the Stream Deck app cannot make a clock wander. A running timer keeps the time it should have kept while you were away.
What it doesn't do
No account, no sign-in, no network requests, no analytics. Your timers live in Stream Deck's own settings on your machine.
