In short

What is Airport Flip Clock?

Airport Flip Clock is a browser app by 360apps that turns any TV, monitor, tablet or laptop into a 3D split-flap display with a real flap sound. One show runs every screen in the room: a speaker timer with amber and red warnings, the agenda, a now-serving queue, a raffle, a score board and audience questions. The operator controls it all from a phone, screens pair with a 4-letter code, and visitors join the queue, the raffle or the Q&A by scanning a QR code with their own phone.

The problem

Four moments that go wrong at every event

The speaker can’t see the time and runs 12 minutes over.

A speaker monitor that turns amber at 5 minutes, red at the last one, and counts overtime. WRAP UP flips on from your phone.

The venue TV has a remote, no keyboard, and nobody can type a web address on it.

A 4-letter pairing code. Open the app on the TV once, type the code on your phone, done.

People crowd the booth or the counter, asking “is it my turn yet?”

Take a number by QR. Visitors walk around and their phone buzzes with YOUR TURN · DESK 3.

The Wi-Fi drops in the middle of the keynote.

Screens keep counting. The show is stored as timestamps, so each screen carries on by itself and catches up when it reconnects.

How it works

Screen, code, phone. That’s the setup.

Creating an online show needs your 360apps sign-in. The screens and the visitors never sign in.

  1. 1

    Open it on the screen

    Open the app in the browser of the TV, monitor or laptop that faces the room. A screen with no show yet shows a 4-letter pairing code.

    A new screen shows its pairing code
  2. 2

    Pair it from your phone

    On your phone, open your show and type the code under Show → Add a screen. Pick what that screen shows: follow the show, stage clock, speaker monitor, agenda, queue, score or questions.

  3. 3

    Run the show from your hand

    Start and pause the timer, add a minute, send WRAP UP, call the next number or draw a winner. Every paired screen flips at the same moment.

Conferences & stages

Speakers who finish on time

A confidence monitor the speaker reads from across the stage, a stage clock for the crew and the agenda in the lobby, all from one show on your phone.

  • Amber at your warning time, red for the last minute, then overtime with a +
  • ±1 min and ±10 s while it runs; rounds with breaks for workshops and pitches

Waiting rooms & counters

Nobody stands in line. Their phone calls them.

  • Take a number by QR, no app to install
  • “1 person ahead of you” and the number being served, live
  • YOUR TURN · DESK 3 on the visitor’s phone, with a buzz, while the page is open

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is a split-flap display?

A split-flap display, or Solari board, is the clattering departure board of old airports and train stations. Each character is printed on flaps that fall one after another to show the next one. Airport Flip Clock draws those flaps in 3D in your browser, with gravity, light and a synthesized flap sound.

Can I put a timer on a TV screen?

Yes. Open Airport Flip Clock in the TV’s browser, or on a laptop connected by HDMI. A screen without a show displays a 4-letter code; type it on your phone and that TV becomes part of your show. No keyboard or mouse is needed on the TV.

How do I keep speakers on time at a conference?

Put a speaker monitor in front of the stage. The timer turns amber at the warning you choose (for example 5 minutes) and red for the last minute, then counts overtime with a plus sign. From your phone you can add or remove time and flip a message such as WRAP UP onto the speaker’s screen.

Can I control the flip clock from my phone?

Yes. The operator’s phone runs the full app: big Live buttons (start, pause, ±1 min, next, draw, message, black screen) and every setting. You can also give a moderator link (messages and questions) or a helper link (queue and draw) to other people.

What happens if the Wi-Fi drops during the event?

The show is stored as timestamps, not as a ticking number, so every screen that has loaded it keeps counting on its own clock. Your next changes reach the screens again as soon as they reconnect.

How does the virtual queue work for visitors?

The board shows a QR code. Visitors scan it, take a number on their own phone and see how many people are ahead. When you call their number, the phone buzzes and shows YOUR TURN with the desk, as long as the page is open, so they can walk around instead of standing in line.

Is there an app for running a raffle at a trade show booth?

Airport Flip Clock has one built in. Visitors enter from their phone with their name, a consent checkbox and, if you want leads, an email. The draw scrambles on the board and flips to the winner as first name and initial. You can export the entries as a CSV file.

What happens to visitors’ names and emails?

Each entry is stored with the consent text the visitor agreed to. Screens only show a first name and initial. All visitor data is deleted 30 days after the show was last used, and the operator can delete it at any time. The visitor page has no tracking.

How do I add a countdown timer to OBS or vMix?

Add a screen to your show and copy its overlay link. It has a transparent background, so you can add it as a browser source in OBS or vMix and the timer or board sits over your video.

Does it work with Stream Deck or Bitfocus Companion?

The app gives you a simple HTTP link for each command, such as start, pause, next, +1 minute or blackout. A Bitfocus Companion button (Stream Deck) can call those links with its generic HTTP action.

Can I still use it as a simple flip clock or screensaver?

Yes. Clock mode shows big flipping hours, minutes and seconds with the date, in 12 or 24 hours, full screen with the buttons hidden. There is also a stopwatch and a world clock whose city names flip in letter by letter.

Which languages and devices does it support?

The menus, the phone controller and the visitor page are in 14 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese and Hindi. It runs in a modern browser on smart TVs, computers, tablets and phones, and can be installed as an app.
