Transparent Stopwatch
About the Transparent Stopwatch
Sometimes the clock must float above the work - a stream layout, a tutorial recording, a photo shoot comp, a broadcast rehearsal - without a solid box hiding the content underneath. A transparent stopwatch renders digits and controls on a see-through background so OBS, browser capture, or picture-in-picture can stack timing over gameplay, slides, or camera feed. Streamers show elapsed speedrun time without a ugly rectangle. Photographers overlay a session timer on a tethered preview for client-facing shots.
How to use it
- Open transparent stopwatch and verify digits over your background.
- Position the window in a calm corner of the capture area.
- Use OBS or browser capture with transparency preserved.
- Control with keyboard shortcuts if the overlay is click-through.
- Rehearse start and lap before going live on stream or set.
Good to know
The stopwatch counts while this tab is open. A slept tab can pause or jump. For a race result you may need to keep the phone unlocked in your hand.
