Incident timer

Full-screen incident clock with severity presets. Press F, drop it on a TV.

About this tool

A full-screen incident clock with SEV presets and a timezone. Start it when the incident opens, press F, and put it on the war-room TV so everyone can see how long it's been.

Good for

  • Keeping time visible during a live incident
  • Pacing status updates, such as every 30 minutes on a SEV1

Not for

  • The incident record: it keeps no timeline, so log decisions in your incident tool or the channel
  • Measuring MTTR: start and stop times belong in the system of record
