Subathon timer for StreamElements

Keep your StreamElements tip page, overlays and chatbot: Marathon-Timer listens to your StreamElements tips and turns each one into time on your countdown, next to your subs and bits from Twitch, YouTube and Kick.

How it works on StreamElements

Connect StreamElements and your tips land on the timer as they are made: the amount is converted into time according to your rate card and your currency, with duplicate protection so a single donation is never counted twice.

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.

StreamElements and Marathon-Timer, side by side

Your tips, read in real time

You paste your StreamElements JWT token once in Connections. Each tip then reaches the timer within seconds, with the viewer's name and the amount in your currency, converted into time by your own rate card.

Keep everything you set up

Your tip page, your alerts and your StreamElements overlays stay exactly as they are. The Marathon-Timer overlay is one more browser source in OBS, next to the ones you already have.

Subs from every platform

According to their public documentation, the StreamElements timer only reads subs from Twitch. Marathon-Timer also counts YouTube memberships and Super Chats and Kick subs on the same countdown, together with your StreamElements tips.

Pause on its own with your stream

With StreamElements, pausing the timer for a break is done by hand. Marathon-Timer can start the countdown when you go live on Twitch and pause it when you stop, so nothing runs while you are offline.

Never counted twice, never lost

A tip sent again after a reconnection is recognised and ignored, and the same tip coming through another service is only counted once. The remaining time lives on our server: a browser or OBS crash costs nothing.

What you get

⏱️

Real-time countdown

The clock extends the moment an event lands on StreamElements — 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 StreamElements

    Sign in with Twitch, then link your StreamElements 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.
