This is a overlay for ACT OverlayPlugin that will display predefined timers without the need to create or configure any timer within ACT.
Note: In order to display buffs that affect your character or de-buff that you have inflict on a enemy you will need to trigger a zone change, either entering a map, instance, door, room, etc. that trigger an small loading. Of course this will happen as well when you login into the game. This only is when you first add this overlay to your ACT.

https://juan-medina.github.io/ffxiv_act_simple_timer
Start your Overlay Plugin WS:
ACT > Plugins > OverlayPlugin WSServer > Stream/Local Overlay > Start, and add a new web browser to OBS to:

Use of this overlay is at your own risk. Square Enix does not permit the use of any third party tools, even those which do not modify the game. They have stated in interviews that they did not view parsers as a significant problem unless players use them to harass other players, so the consensus is to not discuss parsers or DPS in-game at all.
