# ontime {% hint style="info" %} This information relates to version 1 of the app. You might be looking for [v2 documentation](https://ontime.gitbook.io/v2/) {% endhint %} Ontime is an application for creating and managing event running order and timers. The user inputs a list of events along with scheduling and event information. This will then populate a series of screens which are available to be rendered by any device in the Network. This makes for a simple and cheap way to distribute over a venue using a network infrastructure instead of video outputs. ![App overview](/files/HLzZeold1VYywu8gnqbD) ![The stage timer in action](/files/Ikr8lgGSDpghwkNMnNgv) The app has been currently tested in both MacOS (Intel) and Windows 10. ### Unopinionated We are not interested in forcing workflows and have made ontime so it is flexible to whichever way you would like to work. * You do not need an order list to use the timer. Create an empty event and the [OSC API ](/ontime-v1-old/control-and-feedback/osc.md)works just the same * If you want just the info screens, no need to use the timer! * Dont have or care for a schedule? * a single event with no data is enough to use the OSC API and get going * use the order list to create a set of quick timers by setting the beggining and start times to 00:00 and 00:10 (**BAM!** 10 minute timer). You can quick recall this with OSC as always --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
