Start the stopwatch instantly, then turn it into a timer. Most timers are inaccurate because it takes 5 to 30 seconds to set the timer while time slips away. With StartWatch, you start the timer like a stopwatch, then you can take as much time as you need to set the alarm. Features Include: Run multiple stopwatches and timers. Convert a stopwatch to a timer and back to a stopwatch. Stopwatch continues to count after the timer is finished. Set a timer based on the time the stopwatch began, or the current time. Change a timer without losing the start time. Customize how the StartWatch is displayed. For example you can choose to show in weeks, days, or years. History - Undo an accidentally stopped StartWatch or change the start time of any event. Markers - Mark a moment in time on a running StartWatch. View how much time has elapsed from the previous Marker. Icon Badges - View how many StartWatches are running at a glance. Live Activities with support for Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro Watch Features: Complications for timers and stopwatches. Run timers and stopwatches in the background.

The most underrated app ever! It’s amazing!

I normally don’t review apps, but I simply had to review this lifesaver. The idea of starting a stopwatch which can later be turned into a timer is simple, yet brilliant! For tasks that require instant timers, this is a lifesaver! Without messing around with setting the timer, which loses precious time, I can just start the stopwatch in this app and worry about the timer later. Seriously, I couldn’t recommend this more.P.S. Dynamic Island functionality is a big plus, as even Apple’s native clock app doesn’t support the dynamic island for stopwatches, only timers! Brilliant gem right here!

Yes it works. But what is the use of being able to create and use several times and stopwatches if you can only stop them all and reset them all and have to leave your timer screen to do say. It could be a five star app but it makes no sense that each clock/timer doesn’t have its own start, stop and reset buttons directly on the screen. I can’t even wrap my head around the usefulness of not being able to stop one and keep the other running or clearing one and and continuing ti use the other. Essentially? You only have one useful clock/timer if they’re all linked. I can make no sense of this and find no functionality here. It’s good for a stop watch or timer. But to say you can use and set several at a time just isn’t accurate if you can’t control them individually. It’s a false statement.

Tap the screen or push the play/pause button to start and stop individually. Let me know if you have any trouble with this.

Finally the perfect stopwatch app

I’ve tried many stopwatch apps but none did quite what I wanted it to until I found this one. All the others either have cumbersome UIs that get in my way or are just downright buggy. Startwatch has a great UX and just works. It’s one of those few apps that actually makes my life easier.

You would think that a timer app couldn’t get any better, but they keep adding features, and really do take feedback. The app is simple easy to use intuitive and full featured. I literally use this every day for my gig job.

Thanks! You should be able to have multiple widgets with different StartWatches. If you go into the widget configuration you can select a specific StartWatch instead of the last used one
