Subathon timer for Kick

Marathon-Timer reads your Kick channel through Kick's official API and webhooks. Subs, re-subs, gifted subs and follows each add the time you choose, the moment Kick announces them, on the same clock as your other platforms.

Free — no subscription, no commission on your subs or donations.

How it works on Kick

Kick is supported natively through its official API and webhooks: subscriptions and gifted subs on your channel add time to the timer as soon as they are announced. Connect the channel once and the events flow in on their own.

You decide how much time each event adds, and the countdown does the rest. Everything is visible live on your OBS overlay, and the full history stays in your dashboard once the subathon is over.

How the Kick connection really works

Official API, nothing to keep running

You link your Kick channel once with Kick's own sign-in: your password never reaches us. From then on Kick sends every event to Marathon-Timer by webhook. No bot in your chat, nothing to install, nothing that has to stay open on your computer.

A rate card made for Kick

Kick has its own section in Time Settings, separate from Twitch. A Kick sub, a re-sub and a gifted sub can each add a different amount of time, so you can match the value of support on each platform instead of forcing one rule on both.

Gifted subs counted per sub

When a viewer gifts ten subs, the timer receives ten times the value of a gifted sub, credited to the person who gifted them. A large gift bomb shows up as one line in your feed, with the full time added.

Follows, without abuse

A Kick follow can add time too. It is set to zero seconds by default, since a follow costs nothing, and each viewer only counts once: unfollowing and following again adds nothing.

Kick and Twitch on one clock

Multi-streaming on Kick and Twitch, or adding YouTube? Every platform feeds the same countdown, so your community sees a single timer, and your statistics show what came from where.

What you get

⏱️

Real-time countdown

The clock extends the moment an event lands on Kick — no refresh, no delay, no manual adjustment.

🎥

OBS overlay

A transparent browser source you drop into OBS or Streamlabs Desktop, with 15 themes, custom colours, fonts and CSS.

🎯

Sub & donation goals

Goal boards next to your timer, resetting daily, weekly, monthly or for the whole subathon — each with its own overlay.

Set up in three steps

  1. Connect Kick

    Sign in with Twitch, then link your Kick account from the Connections page. It takes about a minute.

  2. Set your rate card

    Choose the time added per subscription tier, per 100 bits and per unit of currency donated — plus a maximum duration if you want one.

  3. Paste the overlay into OBS

    Copy your overlay link, add a browser source in OBS at 800×200, and the timer is live on your stream.

Kick subathon timer — FAQ

Is the Kick subathon timer free?

Yes, completely. No subscription, no premium tier and no commission on your subs or donations — the whole tool is free.

Do I need a bot or an extension on Kick?

No. The connection uses the official API, so there is nothing to install on your channel and no password to hand over. You can revoke the access at any time.

Can I combine Kick with other platforms?

Yes. Twitch, YouTube and Kick subs, plus Streamlabs, TipeeeStream, StreamElements and Ko-fi donations, can all feed the same countdown at the same time.
