How it works
Get started in under a minute
Connect phones
Pair your phones together. They sync automatically over Wi-Fi.
Start your session
Choose from five start methods—flying start, touch release, countdown, voice commands, or start in frame.
Position your phone
Place your phone at the finish line. No calibration needed.
Get your time
Run your sprint and get instant results with millisecond accuracy.
Professional timing, zero equipment
Everything you need is already in your pocket
Smart Detection
Camera-based motion detection triggers timing automatically when you cross the line.
Multi-Device Sync
Connect phones wirelessly. Millisecond-accurate clock synchronization between gates.
Instant Results
See your time the moment you cross. No manual stopwatch delays.
Track Progress
Save sessions, view history, and track improvement over time.
Five ways to start your sprint
Choose the start method that matches your training goals
Flying Start
Run through at full speed. First gate crossing starts the timer automatically. Perfect for max velocity testing.
Best for: Speed testing, flying 10m/20m/30m
Touch Release
Place finger on screen, lift to start. Captures reaction time just like blocks at a real track meet.
Best for: 40 yard dash, combine testing
Countdown
3... 2... 1... BEEP! A visual and audio countdown gives you a predictable start signal. Great for consistent training.
Best for: Solo training, timed intervals
Voice Command
"On your marks... Set... GO!" AI voice commands with realistic timing based on official rules.
Best for: Solo training, group starts
Start in Frame
Begin stationary in the camera view, then take off. Timer starts when you leave the frame. No second device needed.
Best for: Solo training, single phone setup
Connect multiple phones for precise timing
Use one phone at the start line and another at the finish. Add more phones for split times at any distance.
Wireless Connection
Phones connect automatically via peer-to-peer WiFi. No internet required.
Millisecond-Accurate Sync
NTP-style clock synchronization ensures accurate timing across devices.
Unlimited Gates
Add split timing with 3+ phones. Track acceleration phases and top speed.

**Per peer-reviewed study: Brower found "not reliable enough to monitor small changes for elite athletes"
Beam systems trigger on any body part (hand/leg), not chest. TrackSpeed is designed for training, not official competition.
The science behind sub-frame precision
How we achieve ~4ms accuracy with standard phone cameras
Beyond frame-by-frame timing
Learn how it worksMotion Detection
Frame differencing identifies moving objects. Blob analysis finds the largest motion region (your body) and tracks its leading edge toward the gate.
Trajectory Regression
We track position across multiple frames and use linear regression to calculate the precise moment you crossed the gate line—even between frames.
Rolling Shutter Correction
Phone cameras scan top-to-bottom over ~5-12ms. We measure where you crossed vertically and compensate for the exact scan timing at that position.
~4ms Effective Accuracy
The combination of 120fps capture, multi-frame trajectory analysis, and rolling shutter correction delivers timing precision comparable to professional systems.
