Developed in collaboration with top ultra-running organizations like Finland's NUBU (Nummela Backyard Ultra), this app is your strategic partner for training, chasing a "Silver Ticket", or hosting your own endurance event. Focus on your next step; we’ll handle the time.

Three Timer Modes – From Training to Race Day

1. Backyard Ultra (Official Race Standard) Optimized for the classic 6.7 km/h format. • Auto-Resetting Cycles: 60-minute loops that run as long as you do. • Smart Audio Alerts: Signals at 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 minutes. Color-changing UI and a distinct start signal (0 min) keep the runner and crew perfectly synced. • Clear Stats: Instant view of remaining time, total laps, distance (km & miles), and elapsed time.

2. Frontyard Ultra (Dynamic Challenge) The pace tightens as the race progresses. Lap 1 is 30 minutes, and the time decreases by exactly 1 minute each lap, forcing a faster pace as fatigue sets in.

3. Custom Timer (The Multi-Tool) Fully customizable for intervals, hill repeats, or base endurance. Define your "Work Time", "Rest Time", and target laps (or run indefinitely).

Technical Superiority & Usability

• Big Screen & Info-TV Ready: Scales seamlessly to large screens. Landscape mode is optimized to act as a race center info display, visible from afar. • Rock-Solid Background Mode: Advanced WakeLock technology keeps the processor awake. The timer won't stop even if your screen goes dark. • Audio Overlay: Plays alerts over your music or podcasts. Know the race situation without checking your phone.

Tested in Real Conditions Validated on the trails of Nummelanharju in cooperation with NUBU, one of Finland's premier "Silver Ticket" events. We bring professional race-center timing to every runner's pocket. (nububackyardultra.com)

IMPORTANT: Ensure Reliable Background Operation To keep the timer running flawlessly during long ultra races, please disable battery optimization and background usage limits for this app in your Android settings. Manufacturer-specific battery savers may otherwise stop the timer when your screen is off. Check your device settings for more details.
