Start up to 10 stopwatches at once. Scan a heat sheet to auto-populate your entire meet. SplitDeck is the multi-lane timing app built for swim coaches who need speed, accuracy, and zero setup friction on the pool deck. Record splits as swimmers hit the wall. Finish each lane independently. Undo a mistaken finish instantly. Your session auto-saves every 5 seconds — no data lost if the app closes unexpectedly. HOW IT WORKS Tap Start All — every timer begins at the same moment. Tap Split on any lane as a swimmer touches the wall. Tap Finish to stop that lane while others keep running. Save your results with one tap when the set is done. SPLITDECK PRO 10 concurrent lanes (free tier: 3) Swimmer rosters with one-tap lane auto-fill Full meet mode with standard 11-event order and gender grouping Heat-by-heat progression — names auto-populate for every heat Heat sheet import — scan or upload a heat sheet, auto-populate events, heats, lanes, and swimmer names Filter scanned results against a saved roster BUILT FOR THE POOL DECK Oversized tap targets for fast, one-handed use Digital stopwatch, analog clock face, or both at the same time 4 color themes: Dark, Light, Pool Blue, Midnight 6 accent colors High contrast for outdoor visibility Keep Screen On mode prevents auto-lock during timing SAVE AND EXPORT Session history grouped by day Quick Save with one tap or Name & Save for custom labels Export individual sessions, date ranges, or everything at once as CSV Swipe to rename or delete saved sessions Crash recovery — auto-save restores your session on relaunch CHOOSE YOUR DISPLAY Switch between a clean digital readout, an analog stopwatch face with second and minute hands, or both side by side. Timers scale automatically to fit your lane count — from one full-screen timer to a grid of ten. NO SETUP FRICTION Open the app. Pick your lanes. Tap Start. You're timing in under 5 seconds. Swimmer names are optional. Rosters make it even faster — select a team and auto-fill every lane in one tap. No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No internet required. Your data stays on your device. SplitDeck replaces the handful of stopwatches you're juggling on deck. It's faster, cleaner, and everything stays saved.
