PewTimer is a high-contrast shot timer and stage scoring companion built for focused range practice. Record every shot and split, then score each hit from 0-10 to calculate points per second. Review each string with BEST, AVG, and SPREAD stats. Save labels, organize sessions with USPSA, IDPA, Steel, or Custom discipline tags, and spot personal bests in your history. The Progress view summarizes best totals by shot-count band and charts your recent average-split trend. Use guided ambient calibration to tune detection for your range before a session. When you are done, create a shareable image card or export saved history as JSON or CSV for your own records. PewTimer is designed for quick use at the range: - Large, high-contrast controls - Per-shot times and split review - Optional 0-10 scoring with PTS/S - BEST, AVG, and SPREAD summaries - Discipline tags, labels, and PB badges - Progress trends across saved strings - Guided microphone calibration - Share cards and JSON/CSV export No account is required.
