KUMA Timer Around the World
248 installations in 45 countries, from the UK to Japan, Nigeria and Chile.
KUMA Timer started as a tool for one show desk. Today it runs in 45 countries on every inhabited continent except Antarctica, counting licences and free trials as of 13 October 2026: 248 installations in total. Show timing is a global job, and the same questions come up everywhere: how long is left, who is next, and how do you tell the stage without shouting?

Why it travels well
- One app, three platforms: macOS, Windows and Raspberry Pi, with the same files and the same licence everywhere.
- Works on any network: on the show LAN or over the cloud relay, so a remote show caller can control the timer from another country.
- Plays with the rest of the desk: NDI, OSC, Bitfocus Companion, QLab, PowerPoint and LED displays.
