Photo Finish: Race Timer

Photo Finish turns any iPhone into a precision race timer and sprint stopwatch for running, track and field, and team training. 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 Trigger — 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 model car racing (including slot cars and die-cast tracks), swim wall touches, CrossFit and functional fitness, reaction-time science, family field-day races, equestrian and agility courses, and DIY/robotics start and finish lines. 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.
