Photo Finish: Race Timer

Photo Finish turns any iPhone into a precision race timer. Point the camera at a finish line, arm the sensor, and the app catches the exact frame a subject crosses — logging the elapsed time to the millisecond. Unlike simple photo-finish apps, Photo Finish: Race Timer adds a microphone-based sound trigger for starter pistols and buzzers, a random-delay start to prevent anticipation, and full CSV + trigger-photo export — all offline, no account required. THE FULL COMBINATION, NOT JUST ONE PIECE Most camera-timing apps give you a single way to start and a single way to finish. Photo Finish gives you five start triggers, two finish modes with a configurable re-arm delay, and combined CSV+HTML export with trigger-frame photos — all in one app, all offline. FIVE WAYS TO START • Camera Gate — motion across the frame center arms the clock automatically • Manual — tap to start, instantly • Countdown (3s / 5s / 10s) — animated on-screen countdown with audio cues • Random Delay — a randomized delay prevents anticipation • Sound Trigger — the mic detects a starter pistol, buzzer, clap, or whistle FINISH YOUR WAY Auto-Lap mode logs a split on every crossing for shuttle runs, cone drills, and multi-lap courses. Single mode stops the clock at first crossing for a clean one-shot finish. A Done button is always on screen as a manual stop, whichever mode you're in. BUILT FOR REAL DATA Every run's Events table captures start, laps, splits, and elapsed time, tagged with exactly which trigger fired. Save trigger-frame photos to see the crossing, not just the number. Export straight to your Files app as CSV and HTML — no account, no cloud, your data stays yours. BUILT FOR EVERY FINISH LINE Track and field, youth and school coaching, cycling and velodrome laps, RC and slot car racing, swim wall touches, CrossFit and functional fitness, reaction-time science, family field-day races, equestrian and agility courses, and DIY/robotics timing gates. Works best in steady lighting with a clear sightline to the line you're framing. Photo Finish is the zero-hardware alternative to $200–$10,000+ professional timing systems — the same camera-triggered, millisecond-precision workflow, at zero hardware cost.
