A stream uptime timer for OBS
Most stream clocks count down to something. An uptime timer does the opposite: it starts when you go live and keeps going, so a viewer arriving at hour four can see it is hour four.
Start freeTry it in a browser — FreeHow do you add an uptime timer to a stream?
Add one browser source to OBS, set a screen’s clock to count up, and pin it to a deck key. It starts from the moment you put it on air and keeps counting, with no end to reach and nothing to reset between scenes.
Your whole setup, live — every tool fires from one deck. Manual, nothing auto-cycles.
Counting up from when you went live. It has no end to reach.
Show how long you have been live, counting up.

One browser source carries every Kloot overlay, this one included.
Set the clock to count up
Pick the count-up mode instead of a countdown. There is no duration to set — it counts from when the screen goes on air.
Pin it and press it when you go live
One deck key puts it up. Put it on a card so your game keeps the rest of the frame.

Frequently asked
Does it keep counting if I switch OBS scenes?
Yes. The clock counts from the moment the screen went on air, and that moment is stored, so switching scenes or refreshing the browser source does not restart it.
Can I show it in a corner instead of a card?
A card is the smallest layout available today. It sits in the middle of the frame with your game visible around it, rather than in a corner.
Do I need a plugin?
No. It is a browser source, so there is nothing to install and nothing that breaks when OBS updates.
Which plan do I need?
Count-up is part of Creator ($15/mo). Free runs two screens with a countdown.
