## What is Chronograde?

A pro watch timing machine — right in your pocket. Chronograde reads any mechanical watch's rate and beat error through your iPhone mic, then tracks each watch's daily drift against atomic time. No dock, no $1,000 instrument.

The Timegrapher is free for everyone, with no account. Chronograde Pro removes every ad and unlocks the rest.

TIMEGRAPHER — LISTEN TO YOUR WATCH
- Rest the phone on the caseback and Chronograde "hears" the balance wheel
- Live rate in seconds per day, plus beat error in milliseconds
- Automatic beat-rate (BPH) lock-on, or set it yourself
- The same spectral-flux signal processing real timegrapher software uses — all on your iPhone or iPad

ATOMIC-TIME ACCURACY TRACKING
- Record a reading when your watch shows a target time — down to the exact second — and Chronograde compares it to NTP-synced atomic time
- Get a signed offset and a rate in seconds per day, charted over days and weeks
- Time synced from public NTP servers (Apple, Google, NTP Pool)
- Works offline using your last sync or device clock (clearly labeled)

ACCURACY BY POSITION
- Tag how the watch was kept for each reading — worn, dial up, crown down, and more
- See how the rate changes with position and the positional variation — the "delta" watchmakers use to judge regulation (Chronograde Pro)
- Combine multiple sessions to see the average rate by position over your watch's life (Chronograde Pro)

YOUR COLLECTION
- Unlimited watches with photos, brand, model, reference, serial, caliber
- A per-session drift chart for each watch — start a fresh session after a service or reset (Chronograde Pro)
- Sort by rate, last measured, last worn, or recently added
- Color-coded rate: green within ±10 s/day, orange to ±30, red beyond

WEAR & SERVICE (Chronograde Pro)
- One tap to log today's wear; days worn in the last 30 or 365 at a glance
- Full service history with provider, cost, and notes
- Set a service interval and Chronograde shows when the next one is due

ATOMIC CLOCK (Chronograde Pro)
- Large NTP-corrected clock face for setting your watch, analog and digital

DATA YOU OWN
- Optional iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad via your Apple ID
- Export your full collection to Excel or CSV; import watches from CSV (Chronograde Pro)

FREE TO START
- The Timegrapher is free for everyone — measure any watch's rate and beat error at no cost, with no account
- Record up to 10 accuracy measurements free, and keep your whole collection
- The free tier is supported by ads. They never cover the controls and never interrupt a measurement — and Chronograde Pro removes them entirely

GO PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY
- Chronograde Pro removes every ad, and adds unlimited measurements and sessions, Regulation Coach, Accuracy by Position, your Chronometer Score, the Atomic Clock, wear & service logs, and export to CSV & Excel
- Monthly or annual subscription, each with a 14-day free trial — cancel anytime, and nothing is charged during the trial
- Prefer to pay once? A one-time Lifetime unlock gives you Pro forever — no subscription

Made for watch enthusiasts who care about the seconds.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-08-22

The free trial is now 14 days, up from 7.

A drift tracker can't prove itself in a week — the chart needs readings days apart. Two weeks is enough to actually see how your watch behaves before you decide.

• Chronograde Pro's Lifetime unlock is now $29.99.
• Fixed: the Timegrapher's rate row showed its label and unit in English on non-English devices.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-20

Chronograde now speaks 20 languages.

• The whole app is translated — Timegrapher, drift charts, position analysis, service and wear logs, and every alert.
• Numbers, dates and times now follow your region, so a rate reads 3,2 s/day where that is the local convention. Exported CSV files stay in the format spreadsheets expect.
• You can rate Chronograde or share it straight from Settings.
• Fixed: the sync status glyph no longer redraws the whole watch list on every iCloud event, and the background clock is suspended while the app is not on screen.

### 1.6.4 — 2026-08-17

• Fixed: if your iCloud uploads had already stopped working before you updated, the sync screen still showed a green tick. It now says plainly when it can't confirm your uploads, and shows the date of the last one that actually left this device. This is the fix 1.6.3 was meant to be — thank you to the owner who kept checking.
• The iCloud screen is no longer behind Chronograde Pro. Syncing is free for everyone, so knowing whether it is working should be free too.
• "Sync Now" no longer reports that you're up to date while a sync error is showing directly above it, and VoiceOver now reads out the sync state instead of just "iCloud Sync".
• Fixed: the average rate in exported CSV and Excel files was calculated straight through a session reset, so it could disagree with the app — sometimes by a lot. Both exports now match what you see on screen, and the per-watch CSV has gained a session column.
• Fixed: exports numbered sessions differently from the app once you had deleted one, and the watch page could show two different numbers for the same session.
• Fixed: the Home Screen widget could keep showing a renamed watch's old name, or the rate from a session you had just deleted.
• Regulation Coach no longer reports "Excellent — tightly regulated" when it never managed to hear your watch, and no longer spends your free run when that happens. If microphone access is off it now says so and offers to open Settings.
• Fixed: recording a measurement while atomic time couldn't refresh warned you it was using the phone's clock. It wasn't — your last known atomic offset was still being applied — and those readings are no longer marked unsynced.
• Chronograde Pro subscribers are no longer briefly shown ads while the app checks their subscription at launch.
• Importing a CSV that matches a watch in Recently Deleted now restores that watch and tells you, instead of merging into a hidden one.
• Deleting a wear entry now updates "last worn" properly instead of leaving the old date behind.

### 1.6.3 — 2026-08-11

• The iCloud screen now tells you the truth. If something on this device hasn't reached iCloud, you'll see it said plainly instead of a green tick — along with the date of the last successful upload, rather than the last time anything synced at all. A watch owner spotted that those two can be very different things, and he was right.
• Fixed: a watch with a photo attached could never upload to iCloud. If you've added photos, those watches should start syncing again.
• A sync warning no longer vanishes when you reopen the app, so a problem that needs your attention stays put until it's genuinely resolved.
• "Sync Now" now tells you what it actually did, instead of spinning for a moment and leaving you to guess.
• The record count on the iCloud screen is now labelled "Records on this device", because that is what it has always counted.

### 1.6.2 — 2026-08-04

• Sessions now have a home of their own. The watch page shows your three most recent, and "All Sessions" opens the full list — sort by date, number of readings or length, select several at once, and delete the ones you don't need.
• Deleted a session by mistake? It moves to Recently Deleted with its measurements intact, until you recover it or erase it for good. A stray swipe no longer costs you a run of readings.
• Fixed: after you start a new measurement session, the average rate on the Watches list now matches the one on the watch's detail screen. A rate is never averaged across a reset — the readings either side of one aren't comparable, so the figure spanning it was meaningless. Thank you to the owner who reported this with screenshots.
• The same fix applies to the Home and Lock Screen widgets and to Siri, which could both quote that stale figure.
• Every keyboard now has a Done button, and tapping outside a field closes it. The number pads for price, cost and offset previously had no way out at all.
• The rating prompt now waits for a genuinely good moment. It won't ask right after a reading shows your watch drifting badly, right after a full-screen ad, or right after you've hit the free measurement limit.
• Crowns have been retired. What Chronograde Pro unlocks is now simply what Pro unlocks, with no second currency to reason about.
