About

SpeedClimbingTimer

Features
Read full description

SpeedClimbing is a professional timer built for speed climbing. It follows the official IFSC start procedure with two-lane, millisecond-accurate timing, so every attempt is measured and recorded. KEY FEATURES · IFSC start sequence: READY -> MARKS (voice) -> SET (two lights) -> CLIMB!, just like a real competition · Duo Mode: time lanes A and B simultaneously with millisecond precision and automatic winner detection · Single Mode: pick one climber and stop the clock with a single STOP button, ideal for solo training · Start tone and per-second ticks keep the climbing rhythm on track · Voice callout of the results and the winner at the finish · Climber list: manage athletes, pick names per lane and swap lanes in one tap; renaming a climber keeps the whole history · Personal history and progress chart for every climber, with lanes A and B side by side and the faster run highlighted · Video recording: both timers are burned into the top of the video and the clip is saved to your photo library, replayable straight from the history row · Portrait, large-display layout, easy to read from the wall side or the stands PRIVACY The recorded audio is the app's own cues captured internally — no microphone, no ambient sound. All data (climber list, results, videos) stays on your device. We do not collect or upload any personal information.
