How to run your subathon timer in OBS

  1. Set the starting time and style, then click Copy Overlay URL.
  2. Add a Browser source in OBS at 1920 × 1080 and paste the URL.
  3. To add time live, right-click the source → Interact, then click +1m / +5m / +1h. The timer keeps counting even if OBS restarts — it remembers the time left.
  4. Keep the add-time buttons on for yourself, or turn them off for a clean look (you can still interact).

About This Free Online Subathon Timer

Our free subathon timer is a browser-source overlay for OBS, Streamlabs, and Twitch Studio that counts down and lets you add time live — perfect for subathons, donation goals, and timed challenges. Set a starting time, pick a theme and accent color, and copy the overlay URL into a Browser source. On-screen buttons let you add +1, +5, +10 minutes or an hour with a click (use OBS Interact), and you can pause or reset any time. The timer is saved in your browser, so it keeps the exact time remaining even if OBS or your PC restarts. It needs no signup, no bot, no plugin, and never talks to a server — everything runs locally and stays private.

Frequently Asked Questions About Subathon Timer

Is this subathon timer really free?

Yes — completely free, with no signup, no bot, and no plugin. It runs entirely in your browser as an OBS browser source, and your settings live in the URL, so nothing is stored on a server.

How do I add time during the stream?

Keep the add-time buttons on, then right-click the Browser source in OBS and choose Interact. Click +1m, +5m, +10m, or +1h and the timer updates instantly. You can also pause or reset from the same buttons.

Does the timer reset if OBS or my PC crashes?

No. The remaining time is saved in your browser, so when OBS reloads the source the timer continues from exactly where it left off. Use the Reset button when you want to start a new subathon.

Do I need a Twitch bot or StreamElements?

No. This is a standalone timer you control yourself — there is no account, no OAuth, and no third-party bot. It is ideal if you want a simple, free subathon timer without connecting any service.
