Calisthenics Timer

Read full description

Add a timer to your hold and see how long it actually was. Pick a clip, drop a stopwatch on it, and set exactly when it starts and stops. Add text and drawings if desired. You see the result while you edit it, then export the video with all of it baked in. For handstands, planches, levers, and anything else you want to time. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Place a stopwatch and set its start and end to the frame • Four timer styles, and any colour you want • Drag, pinch and rotate anything on the video • Add as many text notes as you need, each with its own timing • Style captions properly: weight, opacity, shadow, outline, label • Draw over the video, and time each stroke separately • Watch the whole thing full screen before you commit • Export at original, 1080p or 720p • Save to Photos or Files, or share it straight out YOUR VIDEO NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE Everything is processed on the device. There's no account, and nothing is uploaded. Calisthenics Timer is free, with ads. Free exports carry a small Cali Timer watermark — tap it before exporting to watch a rewarded ad and clear it from that video. If there's no ad to show, it comes off anyway.
