A track meet happens everywhere at once — heats of the 100, the long jump pit, a 4x400 anchor leg. Track Team Timer runs all of it from one phone, or from your whole crew's phones. Time heats back-to-back, split relays leg by leg, and score every field attempt with official countback. One athlete in four events is no problem. [IMPORTANT: PAID SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED] Track Team Timer requires a paid subscription to access its features, timing tools, and coaching utilities. The one exception: helping a coach as a Timekeeper is free. Coach Plans add unlimited athletes and Timekeeper Mode. Parent Plans allow you to add up to 4 athletes. TIME THE RACE • Live race timer — every athlete in the heat gets their own splits • Heat mode runs heats back-to-back into one combined leaderboard, zero re-setup • Group start or staggered individual starts • Relay timing with per-leg splits and a relay-leg leaderboard • The race clock stays on your Lock Screen with Live Activities • A phone call won't lose your times — the timer survives interruptions • Wrong tap? Undo an athlete's last split or finish in a tap • Enter results after the fact with bulk time entry TIMEKEEPER MODE — *COACHES PLAN REQUIRED TO START* • Invite parents and assistants with a link in Messages • Helpers at the finish and exchange zones time from their own phones • Every split and finish lands on your phone automatically • Anyone you allow can start the heat — you don't have to be at the line • You decide what helpers can do: start, pause, next heat, stop, restart, or mark DNS/DNF/DQ • Helping is free — no subscription needed SHARE RESULTS • Send a meet, an event, an athlete's season, a whole team, or everything to parents and other coaches • Got a results file from another coach? Pick your athletes and their times, marks, and splits come straight in, no retyping • You choose how names appear before you share FIELD EVENTS DONE RIGHT • Shot, discus, jumps, and vault — record every attempt, marks and fouls • O/X/Pass bar progressions for the high jump and vault • Official countback ranking, handled for you • Feet-and-inches entry that feels like setting an alarm, not doing math YOUR PROGRAM, ORGANIZED • Every athlete with photo, contact info, birthday, and full history • Call, text, or email a parent straight from the athlete's page • Varsity and JV squads with team colors and logos • Guided CSV roster import; export any time • Graduate seniors and roll to a new season without retyping anyone RESULTS THAT COACH FOR YOU • PRs and season bests badge themselves automatically • Season Bests leaderboard for every event, whole program • Team Depth Chart — top three in every event your squad runs • Split-by-split breakdown of every race • Progress charts for times, field marks, and relays • Put two athletes side by side, event by event • Share cards for the team group chat MEET DAY • Meet-day dashboard: the event on the clock, what's up next, what's done • One tap builds your standard meet in real meet order • Reuse your standard meet all season from a template • Every meet shows its venue on a map with race-day conditions • Unfinished meets get flagged so no one is left without a mark BUILT FOR THE INFIELD • Solo timing works offline with zero bars (Timekeeper Mode needs a connection) • iCloud sync across every device, automatically • Export results, field marks, statuses, and splits any time Subscription terms: Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
