Track your dead hang time the easy way — right from your Apple Watch! This a simple app that serves as a stopwatch to track how long you last doing dead hang with the unique feature of automatically stopping the timer when you lower your arms after dropping down from the bar/hold. Have you tried to recording your dead hang time with a normal stopwatch and had to start the stopwatch, jump, grip, hang, drop, rush to stop the watch, mis-tap something and cry. Just me? Well this app fixes that for you by including a 3 second countdown so you have the time to get into place, and a vibration to let you know when the timer starts and when your arms betray you, you just let them down and the timer automatically stops. And you thought an app that fixes all your problems did not exist, how naive. Main Features - Built for Apple Watch — start, hang, and finish without your iPhone. - Auto-stop detection — timer stops when your arm's lower below ~45°. - 3-second countdown with haptic feedback to kick off each session. - Haptics when the timer starts and when your hang ends. - Records page — view all sessions by date and duration, with sorting options. Note that the app requires watchOS 10 or later. If you enjoy the app and want to support me, you can do on ko-fi.com/davidpetrov
