## What is Calisthenics Timer?

Add a timer to your hold and see how long it actually was.

Pick a clip, drop a stopwatch on it, and set exactly when it starts and stops. Add text and drawings if desired.

You see the result while you edit it, then export the video with all of it baked in.

For handstands, planches, levers, and anything else you want to time.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Place a stopwatch and set its start and end to the frame
• Four timer styles, and any colour you want
• Drag, pinch and rotate anything on the video
• Add as many text notes as you need, each with its own timing
• Style captions properly: weight, opacity, shadow, outline, label
• Draw over the video, and time each stroke separately
• Watch the whole thing full screen before you commit
• Export at original, 1080p or 720p
• Save to Photos or Files, or share it straight out

YOUR VIDEO NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE

Everything is processed on the device. There's no account, and nothing is uploaded.

Calisthenics Timer is free, with ads. Free exports carry a small Cali Timer watermark — tap it before exporting to watch a rewarded ad and clear it from that video. If there's no ad to show, it comes off anyway.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-26

Text overlays got real controls. Thickness, opacity, shadow, border and
label are each their own setting now instead of four fixed presets, so a
caption can look the way you want it.

• Shadow — how strong it is and which way it falls
• Border — an outline around the letters themselves
• Label — a plate behind the text, with its own colour and translucency
• Full colour spectrum for text, timer and drawing colours
• Hold any timing lane to zoom into the timeline

Fixes: overlays now show on the very first frame of a trimmed clip, a
faded caption exports faded instead of solid, and the text panel no
longer hides behind the keyboard on smaller iPhones.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-12

Fixed: videos stored in iCloud could fail to open with no error. They now download properly, with progress shown while they do.

New: hold a trim handle for a moment and the timeline zooms in around it, so you can trim long clips precisely.

Also fixed: overlays disappearing on the last frame of a clip, and the keyboard covering the text controls on smaller iPhones.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-11

- The app is now Calisthenics Timer, same app, new name.
- Fixed a flicker bug that could appear when moving a drawing on older phone models.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-08

No release notes.
