# Minimal Timer

Just the event timer, nothing else.

![A minimal stage timer, just a running timer](https://2100860514-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5xSBdLnIwNcJR5fryFDs%2Fuploads%2F09fUh0ZuRK04XcIGwfsz%2F103%20minimal.png?alt=media\&token=fd5610d6-5d96-4ba3-a46d-220462754c06)

Sometimes you just need a timer. This is it.

### URL Modifiers

Sometimes you need to customise that timer. This is also it.<br>

{% hint style="info" %}
With the minimal timer view, you can use the URL parameters the quickly customise the appearance of that clock. This pairs great with the [aliases feature](/v2/features/url-aliases.md)

See below the customisable features, your URL would end up looking like

`http://127.0.0.1:4001/minimal?key=f00&text=0ff&font=arial&size=1.2&alignx=start&offsetx=100&aligny=end&offsety=-100&hidenav=true&hideovertime=false`

{% endhint %}
