EqualSplit turns your phone into a race timer. Time sprints and drills with wireless LiDAR gates, or skip the hardware entirely and time straight from video. Either way, every run lands in one place: your roster, your athletes' progression charts, your history. TIME IT YOUR WAY -Gate-to-gate splits, L Drill, and Shuttle Run with wireless timing gates -No gates? Record or import video and mark exact frames for frame-accurate splits -Gate-timed and video-timed runs share one chart, so you never lose the full picture BUILT FOR A SEASON, NOT JUST A RUN -Full athlete roster with lineups and saved templates -Per-athlete progression charts, run by run, drill by drill -Continuous repeats and interval sets with rest, each rep saved on its own PRIVATE BY DESIGN Nothing leaves your phone. No accounts, no servers, no analytics. Your team's data is yours. EqualSplit is built by a high schooler who also builds the timing gates it pairs with, through a 501(c)(3) that donates a set of gates for every set sold. The app works completely on its own without gates, and unlocks gate-precision timing when you have them.
