N-step training stopwatch

Measure the hold,
not the fumble.

A normal stopwatch starts the second you tap. By the time you've put the phone down and gripped the bar, your time is already polluted. Stepwave runs your prep as configurable pre-countdown steps — the clock only starts when you're actually ready.

How it works

Set the prep. Hit start. Walk away.

Build a preset once — name each preparation step and give it a duration. Stepwave counts you through them with voice and sound, then starts the real stopwatch automatically. Your hands never have to touch the phone again.

The stopwatch starts at the right moment and logs an honest, repeatable time.
