Subathon · Overlay timer

A Kick subathon timer your chat controls

Drop the subathon widget on your overlay and let viewers extend the stream — minutes per sub, time per dollar tipped, per-gift bonuses. Server-side state means an OBS crash never eats your clock.

Built for marathons

Set the rules. Chat sets the runtime.

Everything about how time accrues is yours to tune — and everything renders through the same overlay engine as the rest of your stream.

Time rules you control

Choose the starting clock, minutes added per sub, and minutes per dollar from tips and paid support — with per-type toggles and per-gift minute overrides for Kick gifts.

  • Minutes per sub, time per dollar
  • Per-gift bonuses for Kick gifts
  • Starting duration up to 90 days

Crash-proof by design

The session lives on the server, not in your browser source. OBS restart, PC reboot, scene switch — the overlay reconnects and the timer picks up exactly where it should be.

A goal to chase

Set a goal target alongside the clock so chat always has the next milestone in sight.

Styled like the rest

It's a widget like any other — theme it in the visual editor and link it across your scene layouts so the clock is everywhere.

FAQ

Subathon questions

What is a subathon timer?

A countdown that runs on your stream during a subathon — a marathon stream where viewer support extends the clock. Subs and tips add time automatically, so your community decides how long you go.

What can add time to the timer?

Subscriptions add a configurable number of minutes each, and monetization can add time too — minutes per dollar from tips and paid support, with per-type toggles and per-gift minute overrides for Kick gifts.

What happens if OBS crashes mid-subathon?

Nothing is lost. The session state lives on the server, not in the browser source — when your overlay reconnects, the timer resumes exactly where it should be.

Can viewers see what added time?

Yes — the widget can flash the most recent sub or tip and how much time it added, plus a running "+time from tips" summary, and you can set a goal target to chase.

How long can a subathon run?

The starting duration supports marathons measured in days or weeks — up to 90 days — and the timer keeps counting reliably for the whole run.
