Simple Shot Timer

About this app

Simple Shot Timer is a clean, no-nonsense shot timer for dry-fire and live-fire practice. Made for practical shooters who want fast feedback, accurate splits and a full history of their drills, without ads, tracking or accounts.

DRILL MODES
• Standard: open string. Beep, shoot, tap STOP. Splits and total time on screen.
• Par: set a par time and the number of cycles. Each cycle has its own start and end beep, with an optional rest interval between cycles.
• Stage: a long single-window timer up to 200 seconds for stage walk-throughs and scenario practice.

START DELAY
Instant, fixed, or random within a min/max range.

SAVED DRILLS
Save the drills you run often (mode, start delay, par and stage timing) under a name, and load any one with a tap.

SHOT DETECTION
• Listens through your phone's microphone and picks out each shot as it happens.
• The start and par beeps never count as a shot, a shot fired during the beep still does, and an echo filter keeps one shot from counting twice.
• The clock starts when the mic hears the beep, so speaker lag never ends up in your times.
• Auto-configure: fire a few shots and the app suggests a sensitivity and frequency band for that gun and range.
• A mic test screen with a live level meter lets you dial in sensitivity before going hot.
• Add shots by hand at any time, after the string or in review.

HISTORY & REVIEW
• Every string is saved automatically (rolling cap from 50 to 5000, default 500).
• Review each string with split times, first shot, fastest, slowest and average.
• Editable label, notes and penalty per string.

CSV EXPORT
Export a single string or your whole history as CSV through the share sheet: email it to yourself, save it to cloud storage or open it in a spreadsheet.

KEEPS RUNNING
Lock the screen or switch apps mid-string: the timer keeps detecting shots and playing par beeps.

PRIVACY FIRST
• 100% on-device. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no ads, no tracking.
• The microphone is used live, in memory, only while the app is listening (a string, the mic test or auto-configure). No audio is recorded or sent anywhere.
• Delete all your data and settings from Settings at any time.
• Open source (GPL-3.0): the full code is on GitHub at github.com/Mr-Jami/simple-shot-timer, so you can check every claim above.

QUALITY OF LIFE
• Screen flash on the beep for loud ranges and heavy ear protection, plus optional haptics.
• A notice warns you if the media volume is muted while a string runs.
• Keeps the screen awake during a string.
• Monochrome Material 3 theme with System, Light, Dark and High-contrast options.

LANGUAGES
English, Finnish, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

PERMISSIONS
• Microphone: required for shot detection. Requested the first time the mic is needed.
• Notifications: on Android 13 and later, needed for the notification that keeps the timer running in the background.
• Vibration: optional haptic on the beep.
• Wake lock: keeps the screen on during a string.

Built for the range, the dojo and the basement dry-fire setup. Free, lean, no upsells.

Ratings and reviews

love the simplicity, timer seems to start before the beep, so makes the timer about a 1/2 second off.

I've tried a half dozen timers today, this is the only one sensitive enough to pick up dry fire without registering background noise.

Never shot so good
