A brand-new LiveTrail, rebuilt from the ground up. Follow your runners live, with a notification every time they cross a checkpoint. Live rankings, passage times, course map and elevation profile in 2D and 3D. Running yourself? Your bib opens a space of your own: GPS beacon, SOS alert, cut-offs, and a finisher poster to share. New: the Ghost table — your race plan, checkpoint by checkpoint. Works offline, dark mode, km or miles.

About

OpenEventor

Features
Read full description

OpenEventor is a fast, fully offline timing app for orienteering and endurance sports — running, cycling, skiing, trail, triathlon and more. Run an entire event from your iPhone or iPad — no internet, no account, no cloud. • Live split monitor — punches appear in real time, sorted by finish, with per-leg times. • Works with timing systems (SPORTident-style and OSTIS LOOP) over your local network. • No timing box? Capture finishes by hand with a single tap and match bib numbers later. • Instant results and start protocols, generated on the fly and exported to PDF. • Groups, courses and control points — including parent groups for combined standings. • Built-in problem resolver flags card collisions, broken control order, missing punches and more. • Import competitor lists; everything is stored locally in a single portable file you can back up or share. OpenEventor never collects your data. There is no sign-up and nothing leaves your device unless you choose to export or send it. Built for organisers of small trainings and full competitions alike.
