Help, by tool
Every article is on this page, so the filter below searches the real text. With scripts off, the whole list is simply here.
First steps
OBS, or any software that can add a browser source. A tool open in a browser tab. That is the list. There is no download from us and no plugin.
In OBS, under Sources, press the plus and choose Browser. Give it a name you will recognise on the scene, paste the overlay URL into the URL field, set the width and height to the size you want on screen, and press OK.
Leave "Shutdown source when not visible" and "Refresh browser when scene becomes active" unchecked for a clock, because both of them make the overlay reload and catch up.
Three usual causes, in the order they happen. The URL has a character missing from the end. The source was added but its checkbox in the scene list is unticked. The source was added to a different scene from the one you are looking at.
Subtick
Each source has its own amount. Set the ones you want and leave the rest at zero; a source at zero is ignored, so a clock that only counts bits is a normal setup rather than a workaround.
Pause stops the countdown and holds the number. It is not a reset, so the value you come back to is the value you left. That is the difference that matters at hour sixty.
A cap is an upper bound on how far the clock can be pushed. It exists so a good night does not commit you to a four-day stream you did not agree to.
Follows are cheap to farm, and a follow bot would run the timer away. The default is off for that reason, and it is a setting rather than a rule.
Wheel
A weight is how many shares of the wheel a slice gets. A slice with weight two is twice the width of a slice with weight one, so the odds are drawn rather than described.
You can type or paste a list, or open a keyword and have viewers type it in your own chat to be added. Entries are deduplicated by name, so typing it five times does not buy five slices.
Delete the name after the spin. Automatic previous-winner exclusion is not built.
Snoot
Paste it in chat and put it in your panels. It is a plain URL, so a Discord message or a pinned post works just as well.
Pin a question to put it on screen. Pin a different one to swap it. Unpin to clear the overlay. Clearing is one action, which is what you want when a segment goes sideways.
The submission page and nothing else. The inbox is yours and the overlay only ever shows the question you pinned.
OBS and browser sources
Set the width and height on the source to the size you want on screen, rather than adding it small and scaling it up on the canvas. Text drawn at its real size stays crisp; text scaled up does not.
Both make the overlay reload. For a clock that is time lost and then recovered, which looks like a glitch on stream. Leave both unchecked unless you have a reason.
The overlays draw their own background as transparent, so there is no custom CSS to paste and nothing to strip out.
Put the same URL in a browser source on each scene. Both show the same overlay.
Accounts and Pro
Not for Subtick, Wheel or Snoot. An account belongs to Pro, and Pro is not open yet, so there is nothing to make.
Tips and the other event sources in Subtick, extra clock styles, Snoot's premium looks and controls, link pages without a watermark and on your own domain, and Ladder when it exists. The pricing page marks which of those are finished.
Privacy and data
They are held in the browser for the session and purged after it. There is no chat log kept and no chatter database built.
The name shown with it and the text sent. Nothing else is collected with it.
Anyone holding it. Treat it like a key rather than like a bookmark, and do not put it on screen.
Licenses and attribution
Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with Inter Tight as the only third-party asset. The full list, with licences, is on the Licenses page.
Because the open-source licences this project uses ask for the notice to travel with the thing, and that is a page rather than a project.
Nothing here matches. Try fewer words, or the contact page.
Still stuck
Two places to go, and they are different places.
Contact
For something broken, or a question these pages do not answer. The page names the one route that works today.
