One thumb. The whole squad. Herotime is the world's only single-button multi stopwatch: one coach times many athletes at once — with one button, even your iPhone's volume button — eyes up the entire session. How you tap is how times are assigned (patented Tap & Arrange technology, U.S. Patent 11,080,947 B2). Two rapid taps start a whole group on the same clock. A single tap starts the next athlete. A long press starts everyone remaining. From then on, every tap captures the next split and assigns it automatically, in order — no menus, no aiming at tiny buttons, no looking down while your athletes cross the line. Overtakes happen; a simple drag reassigns any time to the right athlete. Built for sports coaches, PE teachers, and meet timekeepers, Herotime replaces the fistful of handheld stopwatches and the paper notes that go with them. FEATURES • Patented single-button timing for groups, staggered starts, and everyone-at-once starts • Volume-button timing: use a real, physical button and keep your eyes on the athletes • Add athletes in seconds; organize squads with group tags • Every split auto-assigned in circular order — drag to fix the odd overtake • Cadence: capture stride/stroke rates for any split • Full timing history on your device, ready to review after practice • Share and export athlete-specific reports as CSV — opens straight in Excel or Numbers • No account, no sign-up: your athletes and times stay on your device PRICING Try everything free for one month. After that, Herotime is a single annual auto-renewing subscription — every feature, every future update, no ads. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed in your App Store account settings.
