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.
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.
