FAT Timer

The official companion app for RaceApp.net - transform your iPad into a Fully Automatic Timing (FAT) system. Record the finish line
in 240fps slow-motion, mark athlete times frame-by-frame, and export results directly to your RaceApp.net meets.

HOW IT WORKS

2. Start recording when the race begins (manual, sound-activated, wireless mic, or network remote control)
3. Review the video and mark each athlete's finish time — on the iPad or from any browser on the local network
4. Export times to your RaceApp.net meet with one tap

MULTI-PERSON WORKFLOW
Split the work at a busy meet. One person operates the camera while others review video and mark finish times from any laptop,
