LapLog is a minimalist stopwatch built around a single idea: every lap deserves a name. Tap any lap to rename it on the fly and turn anonymous splits into a real record. Sessions get titled and archived to a history view you can revisit later. Switch on Parallel Laps when you've got multiple things on the clock at once - every named timer keeps running independently until you stop the session, so the fish, the corn, and the burgers each have their own elapsed time at the end.
