Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use event run sheets, gallery policies, artist agreements, security plans, accessibility plans, and venue instructions as the source of truth.

Use the timer for reception pacing only, not for sales, security, accessibility, artwork care, alcohol, or venue policy decisions.

Keep run sheets, artist notes, guest lists, security notes, accessibility notes, and event feedback in the approved museum, gallery, venue, school, retail, or event system.

Use an XTimer room when gallery staff, artists, hosts, security, AV teams, and event volunteers need one shared gallery opening reception countdown.
