You already film your training. CaliTimer gets the real hold time out of that footage, keeps every set in a training log, and exports a clip with the measured time burned in. TIME IT • Record a set in the app, or bring in a clip you filmed earlier with Time a Clip. • Review it on a marked timeline: drag the handles to the exact frame a hold starts and breaks, add a hold, or delete one that isn't real. • On handstand, front lever and tuck front lever, CaliTimer fills the hold time in for you. On everything else you mark it, a couple of seconds either way. Imported clips are always marked by hand. LOG IT • 78 exercises in ten families: front lever, back lever, planche and handstand variations, plus core, legs, push, pull and grip work. Timed holds and counted reps in one place. Can't find yours? Create it. • Build a session from several exercises. Log each set as hold time or reps, with added weight, resistance bands (use several at once) and RPE. Add a note to any exercise. • A rest timer counts down between sets. • Every session is a card in your log that opens into full detail, with your personal bests starred. Your week, time trained, sets and sessions is on the Train screen. • Kilograms or pounds, your choice. SHARE IT • Clip It exports a set as a clip trimmed to the hold, with the real measured time burned into the footage. Choose the typeface, colour, size, background and position, then save it or share it. • Filmed a hold months ago? Bring it in with Time a Clip, mark the hold on the timeline, and log it if it belongs in your record. PRIVACY • Your training data never leaves your phone. • Pose analysis, used for auto-detect, runs on-device with Apple's Vision framework, which returns joint positions — not images. • No account. No sign-up. No analytics. No ads. No third-party SDKs. • Recordings stay on your device and are deleted when a session ends unless you save them to your camera roll. CALITIMER PRO CaliTimer requires a subscription: £4.99/month or £44.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial.
