Stopwatch Widget: Stop and Go
· v5.22
About
A simple stopwatch with dark mode, large numbers, laps/splits and a clock. Keeps running after you close it.
This is a widget for easy access from the clock. Like all widgets, it closes after a minute or so, but the stopwatch keeps going and your laps are saved. Here's a full app without this issue, which can also save your laps as an activity: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/38eddacd-e098-40ce-82d8-f45584b0a117
(If this ^ link isn't clickable, tap More From This Developer and select "Stopwatch: Stop and Go")
Features:
• Dark and light themes
• Start stopwatch instantly from widget front page - just press START / ▬, or tap screen (VA3)
Front page always shows stopwatch, running or not
• Large numbers
• Clock (time of day)
• Laps
• Shows lap time and total/split time
• Scroll through laps/splits while stopwatch is running
• Color-coded laps: Slowest = red, fastest = green
• Pop-up lap screen (lap number, lap time and total time)
• Take laps, pause stopwatch while looking at lap screen
• Optional simple mode with large clock and no laps
• Close app without stopping stopwatch or losing laps
• Optional tones and vibrations
• Minimalist design with intuitive controls optimized for your device, whether it has a touchscreen or buttons. Back/Lap button takes laps, as you'd expect. On-screen prompts tell you what button to press.
