About

The Start Button

Read full description

Tap Start. That's it. No pause. No reset. No undo. The timer begins when you do, and it never stops. This is not a habit app. Not a streak. Not a countdown. It is the time since you committed โ€” still running, whether you open the app or not. ONE TAP A single Start. Done. THEN IT STAYS Elapsed seconds. The place you were. A widget on the Home Screen that keeps counting while you live the rest of the day. Share a snapshot when the number means something. Your start time lives on the device. Location is used only at the tap, to remember where you were. Nothing is sent to us. Tap once. Time keeps going.
