## What is iTStopWatch?

Cube Trigger Timer is a clean, hands-free stopwatch designed for cube-solving practice, inspection timing, and focused speed training.

Start and stop your solve using normal controls, desk-impact detection, or sound trigger. The app includes a 15-second inspection countdown, optional 3-2-1-Go voice announcement, scramble generation, local solve records, and statistics to help you track progress over time.

Main features:

• Professional count-up stopwatch
• 15-second inspection countdown
• Optional 3-2-1-Go voice announcement
• Sound trigger start/stop
• Desk impact / vibration trigger start/stop
• Adjustable trigger sensitivity and cooldown
• Random cube scramble generator
• Adjustable scramble length
• Local solve records
• Average, fastest, and slowest time statistics
• Record chart with average line
• Delete incorrect or incomplete records
• Dark-mode interface with multiple themes
• Local-only storage with no account required

The app is designed for practice and training. For best results, place your iPhone safely on a stable desk and avoid hitting the device directly.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5 — 2026-07-09

New in this version:

• Improved Timer tab behaviour when iOS Rotation Lock is enabled.
• Timer tab now uses an internal landscape canvas, keeping the two-hand timer layout usable even when the phone remains locked in portrait orientation.
• Improved normal Timer tab landscape handling when Rotation Lock is disabled.
• Fixed Stopwatch behaviour so each new run starts from 0 seconds after a completed stop, instead of continuing from the previous time.
• Kept separated 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 records and statistics.
• Kept improved 4x4 scramble support with face turns, inner slice turns, and face+slice notation.
• General stability, usability, and interface improvements.

### 2.0 — 2026-05-01

New in this version:

• Added separate records and statistics for 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 cube practice.
• Records, averages, fastest time, slowest time, and progress chart now update based on the selected cube type.
• Records tab now displays only the timings for the currently selected cube type.
• Clear records from the Records tab now removes only the selected cube type’s records.
• Existing saved records are safely migrated as 3x3 records to avoid data loss.
• Improved 4x4 scramble support with face turns, inner slice turns, and face+slice notation.
• Saved settings now restore your last-used cube type, trigger thresholds, cooldown, inspection, voice, display, and statistics preferences.
• General stability, usability, and interface improvements.

### 1.2 — 2026-05-01

New in this version:

• Added improved scramble support for 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 cube practice.
• 4x4 scramble now includes outer face turns, inner slice turns, and face+slice turns such as Uu, Dd, and Rr.
• Added saved cube type selection, so the app remembers your last-used scramble mode.
• Improved scramble simplification: repeated turns are now displayed in a cleaner and easier-to-follow format.
• Improved 4x4 notation handling for slice and wide-style moves.
• Fine-tuned scramble generation to avoid confusing reverse or cancelling move patterns.
• Improved local settings persistence, including trigger thresholds, cooldown, timer display, inspection, voice, scramble, and statistics settings.
• General stability, usability, and interface improvements.

### 1.1 — 2026-04-29

New in this version:

• Added a new two-hand Timer tab inspired by professional cube timer layouts.
• Hold both hand pads for 2 seconds until the timer turns green, then release to start.
• Press both hand pads again to stop the timer.
• Added 0.5-second tolerance between left and right hand touches for easier real-world use.
• Timer tab is now fully isolated from Stopwatch mode, so inspection countdown, sound trigger, and impact trigger will not affect it.
• Improved scramble simplification: 4 repeated turns are removed, 3 repeated turns are converted to the easier inverse turn, and double turns are shown as R2/F2-style moves.
• Fine-tuned inspection behaviour: impact can start the solve immediately during inspection, while sound remains ignored.
• Improved trigger cooldown and false-trigger protection.
• Fixed cases where sound or impact could incorrectly start or stop timing after switching tabs.
• General UI, stability, and usability improvements.
