Cloud Chrono is a floating stopwatch that stays on top of any app on your screen — including the Camera app — so you can time whatever you're doing without switching screens or losing your place.
HOW IT WORKS
Start the stopwatch, tap "Show overlay," and a small floating timer appears on top of whatever you're using. Open the Camera, a browser, a workout app, anything — the timer keeps floating on screen, fully readable, while the app underneath works exactly as normal.
The floating timer is for your eyes only: it is never recorded into your photos or videos. Cloud Chrono does not use the camera, does not use the microphone, and does not touch your media files in any way.
KEY FEATURES
• Floating overlay timer that stays on top of any app
• Works over the Camera app without ever appearing in your photos or videos
• Up to 5 independent stopwatches on screen at once, each with its own start, pause, lap, and reset
• Lap recording — capture split times as many times as you like while the clock keeps running, visible both in the app and in the floating overlay
• Optional countdown mode with vibration when it reaches zero
• Quick Settings tile — turn the floating timer on or off from your notification shade without opening the app
• Fully customizable: bubble size, transparency, colors, corner rounding, position on screen, and what a tap on the bubble does
• Drag the floating timer anywhere on screen; it remembers where you left it and adjusts automatically when you rotate your phone
• Choose your time format: MM:SS, MM:SS.d, MM:SS.dd, HH:MM:SS, or HH:MM:SS.dd
• Light on battery — the timer is driven by the device's real elapsed-time clock, not a constantly-running loop
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Cloud Chrono does not request access to your camera, microphone, photos, videos, contacts, or location. It has no internet permission, collects no personal data, uses no analytics, and shows no ads. Everything the app needs to remember (your timer's elapsed time, your laps, your display preferences) stays on your device.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Anyone who needs a visible running clock while doing something else on their phone: recording workout or cooking videos with a visible timer, timing presentations or speeches, tracking study or focus sessions, running lab or kitchen timers alongside other apps, or simply keeping an eye on elapsed time without leaving what you're doing.
PERMISSIONS USED
• Display over other apps — required to draw the floating timer window
• Post notifications — required by Android to show the small ongoing "timer is running" notification while the overlay is active
• Vibrate — used only if you enable vibration for when a countdown finishes
Cloud Chrono is built to be a fast, private, no-frills utility. Open it, start the clock, and get back to what you were doing.
