Smart signage that earns a second look.
Most screens loop the same adverts until nobody notices them. thedropclock gives yours something worth watching: countdowns to what people are waiting for, trivia that gets a room talking, all in your own name and colours, changing on its own.
- CountdownsTo quiz night, a launch, a sale, a match or doors opening. Days, hours, minutes and seconds, with a full-screen takeover for the final minute.
- TriviaMultiple-choice rounds with a timer, a reveal and a recap. Add pictures if you want them. People answer out loud, on paper or in a stream chat.
- Your brandYour name or logo on every screen in place of ours, and your colours on every countdown.
- DropClockAIType a topic or an event. It researches it, writes the questions or the countdown, and checks the facts. You approve it before anything goes on screen.
- Shop and travelScreens for offers, menus and new arrivals, plus live train, Luas and departure boards.
Where it earns its keep.
Anywhere people wait, watch or wind down. Here’s a typical Friday evening across a few of them.
Bars and pubs
A quiz night without hiring a quizmaster, and something to talk about between rounds.
Shops
Builds the queue for a big launch and gives people a reason to stay a little longer.
Bus shelters and stations
Something better than a blank screen while people wait.
Cafés, gyms and hotels
Screens that change through the day, with no staff time.
Events and venues
Doors, set times and the headliner counted down on every screen in the building.
Streamers
An overlay that runs itself, in 16:9 and 9:16. Chat plays along with A, B, C or D.
Swipe the guide sideways to see the whole evening.

Questions people ask.
Do I need any special equipment?
No. Anything with a web browser works: a smart TV, a streaming stick with a browser, a laptop plugged into the TV over HDMI, or a projector. For streams, add your screen’s link as a browser source.
Can I use it on Twitch, YouTube or TikTok?
Yes. Add your screen link as a browser source in OBS, Streamlabs or Upstream. Use the 16:9 layout for Twitch and YouTube and the 9:16 layout for TikTok and Reels.
How do people answer the trivia?
However suits the room. They can shout it out, write it down for a table quiz, or type A, B, C or D in your stream chat. The screen shows the question and a timer, then reveals the answer with a short explanation, and recaps the round at the end.
Can the screens carry my own brand?
Yes, on any paid plan. Show your own name or upload your logo, and it replaces thedropclock on all your screens. During the free week your screens show thedropclock.
Is it family friendly?
The starter questions are, and a safety filter keeps bad language off the screen. You can add your own blocked words too.
What is DropClockAI?
The assistant built into thedropclock. Give it a topic, a person or a release and it searches the web, then writes trivia questions or a whole countdown with facts and news. It checks its work, but it can still get things wrong, so you review everything before you publish.
Can I use my own pictures and music?
Yes, as long as you have the right to use them. For music, use royalty-free tracks or music you’re licensed to play in public.
Can I cancel?
Any time. Your plan runs to the end of the period you’ve paid for, then your screens pause. You can also delete your account and everything in it yourself, from the account page.
Are you connected to the games, films and artists on screen?
No. thedropclock is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by the publishers, studios, labels or artists whose releases appear in countdowns. We work from official announcements.
