Timekeeper — vow ceremony timer
Record the exact wall-clock moment of each vow or ceremony step — refuge, Bodhisattva vows, and any rite you define — to the millisecond. Built for retreat timekeepers.
- Step 1
Add people
Name each aspirant and set the retreat.
- Step 2
Check the clock
Verify time zone and network time before you begin.
- Step 3
Record each snap
One tap per vow or step — export CSV or share cards after.
Offline-ready after one visit. No account needed.
Install for offline use
Open Timekeeper once on retreat wifi, then install it so the timer still works when the network drops.
Use the install icon in the address bar, or tap Install app when it appears here.
A record, not a stopwatch
Timekeeper captures the exact wall-clock moment a person completes each step of a vow ceremony. Nothing counts up or down. Each tap stores a timestamp to the millisecond and never recomputes it afterward — so the record stays faithful to when the timekeeper tapped, as close as possible to the preceptor's snap.
Who it is for
The app is built for retreat timekeepers running refuge ceremonies, Bodhisattva vow rites, Worlds of Wisdom-style ceremonies, and other timed vows. The preceptor and participants never touch the app — only the timekeeper does, one aspirant at a time, moving through each defined step before the next person begins.
What you get
- Millisecond timestamps for each ceremony step — one tap per vow or phase.
- Custom fields: set up refuge (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), Bodhisattva vows, or any steps your rite needs.
- Offline-ready PWA: works on retreat wifi after a single online visit.
- CSV export per person or for the whole retreat, plus shareable record cards.
- Undo and redo when you need to correct a moment without losing the session.
