+> Ontime is an application for managing rundown and event timers.

+Congratulations! You got this far into Ontime's rabbit hole and want to manage your installation.

+The CLI tool is a fast and lightweight way of installing Ontime and is perfect for self-hosting and headless installs.
+
+## Getting started

+
+### Running Ontime
