Marathon timer

A subathon-style countdown that grows as viewers contribute. Cross-platform: a sub on Twitch, a member milestone on YouTube, and a gift burst on Kick all add real time to the same clock.

Starting a marathon

Open Dashboard → Marathon, set the starting duration, the per-event rules (how many seconds a sub adds, a tip per coin, etc.), and click Start. Three overlay variants are available — classic, mini, and full.

Per-event mapping

Each event type can add a fixed amount of time, a per-unit amount, or be excluded entirely. The defaults are reasonable; tweak them based on your average event volume so you don't run a 30-hour subathon by accident on a busy night.

  • Sub: +5 minutes
  • Gift sub: +5 minutes per recipient
  • Cheer / Kicks / Super Chat: configurable per unit
  • Tip: configurable per coin
  • Raid: configurable per raider

Controls

  • Pause / Resume — stop the clock without stopping ingest.
  • Add time / Subtract time — manual adjust.
  • End marathon — stops the clock and freezes the leaderboard.

Leaderboard

The marathon tracks contributions per viewer across all platforms and across all event types. Available as a widget so you can show the top contributors live.

Heads up
Sanity-check your per-event values before going live. A surprise 100-gift train at $0.50/ sub of added time turns into ~50 minutes — make sure that's what you want.
