An alternative stopwatch for your Watch and Phone. Each watch update I've hoped to see new options and features for the stopwatch features native stopwatch app. I got tired of waiting and had to write my own! This app shows you your current lap time so you don't have to calculate it in your head. It also allows you to keep track of stop time (paused time). And it allows you to adjust the time of a lap or delete one if you fat fingered something! Now it also has a companion phone app.

The clearest difference is ads: ChronStop at none against Hidden Timer's shown. Hidden Timer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.8.3 vs 26.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
