How it works

RadioKit Timer reads the RadioBOSS schedule and automatically starts the countdown before the live broadcast. The presenter sees the timer on the PC, guests and technicians see it from the personalized web page.

FAQ

❓ Do I need to leave my PC on all night?

RadioKit Timer can start automatically with Windows. Once configured, it launches on its own, loads the schedule and waits for the next broadcast — no intervention required.

❓ Does the web page update automatically?

Yes. The radiokit.io/timer/your-radio-name page updates every 1.5 seconds via polling. No reload needed — the countdown is always live.

❓ Does it work if RadioBOSS is on a different PC?

Yes, as long as the PC running RadioKit Timer can reach RadioBOSS API on the local network (same WiFi/LAN). Configure the correct IP in the Timer settings.

❓ What happens if the internet connection drops?

The app continues to work locally. The web page will show "offline" until the connection is restored. The local countdown in the app continues correctly.

❓ Can I have multiple timer instances for multiple studios?

Yes — each license corresponds to one radio/studio with its own separate timer page. Multiple studios each need their own license.

❓ What's new with the Regia app?

Timer now includes a secure bridge to RadioBOSS. With a single RKT- key you get both the automatic countdown and the RadioKit Regia mobile app to control the studio from your phone. The APK is included in the free 15-day trial.

❓ Do I need to open router ports for the Regia app?

No. All traffic flows through the radiokit.io secure gateway with JWT authentication. Your radio network stays closed — no exposure, no VPN. Works fine on home connections and mobile hotspots too.
