Start now, then set a timer

Features & Capabilities

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.

User Reviews

User reviews consistently praise StartWatch for its feature-rich stopwatch/timer, instant timers, and ability to label timers for easy tracking. Dynamic Island and lockscreen/live activity support are frequently highlighted, as is the one-time purchase model with no recurring fees. The app is described as easy to use and reliable, making schedules easier. A few requests appear (unlimited timers, per-timer controls), but these are minor compared to the overall positive sentiment.

Pros

Feature-rich stopwatch/timer with instant timers and the ability to convert a stopwatch into a timer.
Dynamic Island support and related widgets (lockscreen widget, live activity) enhancing usability.
One-time purchase with no subscription, offering good value and ownership of all features.
Excellent UX and reliability; described as easy to use and that it just works.
Timer labeling/naming to keep track of multiple timers for clear organization.

Better then Apple’s stopwatch because it lets you set the start time and make multiple stopwatches at once. Great app!

StartWatch does everything I could ever possibly want from a stopwatch app. I wish iOS had all of these features built-in. I’m very grateful that the developer didn’t put the app behind a monthly subscription like most of the developers on the App Store these days. Just a cheap one-time-payment and you own the app (and all of its features) forever. The way it should be. Not charging $20 a month to access all the features. I absolutely recommend StartWatch to anyone wishing to get more out of their phones stopwatch. Please support this amazing developer!
