Every runner/group.
Every split.

Coaching Stopwatch runs up to ten independent timers side by side, so you can time run and rest intervals for a whole practice group without juggling stopwatches or a clipboard.

Built for the person holding the stopwatch

Track and field coaches, running coaches, and PE teachers use Coaching Stopwatch for fartlek sessions, circuits, relay practice, or any workout where several groups need their own run and rest times recorded and reviewed later — not just watched once and forgotten.

Set up before the group even lines up

App screen asking how many groups are running today, set to 6, with a Next button
Step 1

Choose your group count

Set anywhere from 1 to 10 runners or groups for the session. That's the only number you need to decide before practice starts.

App screen for naming groups, with the first field filled in as varsity sprinters
Step 2

Name your runners

Label each timer — "Varsity Sprinters," "Lane 3," an athlete's name — or leave it blank and Coaching Stopwatch defaults to Runner 1, Runner 2, and on.

Live timer screen for Runner 1 showing 15.78 seconds resting, with a split history of two run and rest intervals below
Step 3

Tap to switch, tap to save

Tap a timer to start the run, tap again to switch to rest. Every switch is logged with its type and time, building a full split history right on screen — use Start All and Stop All when you want the whole group in sync.

What you get on top of the timers

1–10 independent timers

Each runner or group runs on its own clock. Nothing has to move in lockstep unless you tell it to.

Full split history

Every RUN and REST interval is saved with its time, so you can review the whole session per runner, not just the last split.

CSV export

Export runner, type, and time to a CSV and share it by email, Drive, or any app — opens straight into Excel or Google Sheets.

Runs in the background

Lock your phone or switch apps and timers keep going, with a small ongoing notification so you know they're still live.

Phone and tablet layouts

Swipe between runners one at a time on a phone, or watch every timer at once in a grid on a tablet.

No account, no ads

Open it and start timing. Nothing to sign into, nothing interrupting your stopwatch mid-practice.

Why this exists

"As a track coach, I got tired of running several stopwatches by hand and copying times onto a clipboard after practice. Coaching Stopwatch is the tool I wanted for myself — independent timers for every group, and a CSV at the end so the numbers are actually usable." — Brock Hammill, teacher and coach

Questions coaches ask

How many runners can I track at once?

Up to 10 independent timers in a single session, each with its own run/rest state and split history.

Does it need an account or an internet connection?

No. There's no sign-in, and the app doesn't need a network connection to time your practice.

What's actually in the CSV export?

Three columns — Runner, Type (RUN or REST), and Time — for every interval in the session, ready to open in Excel or Google Sheets.

Will it keep timing if I lock my phone?

Yes. Timers keep running in the background, with a small ongoing notification confirming they're still active.

Does it cost anything?

No. Coaching Stopwatch is free, with no ads getting between you and the stopwatch.
