Hands-free Stopwatch: use hand gestures to control timer for swimming and kitchen

About this app

Getting your hands wet or dirty? With this FREE app you can use a stopwatch without touching the screen. It's fantastic for timing while you cook, following instructions with dirty hands, or for sweaty or pool fitness use. You can even use it for a "photo finish" lap timer - just break the beam with your body or hand to automatically end your lap in the pool or on the track! This app has also proven useful to people with arthritis, or when fine movement is difficult or painful. You use similar gestures to those you normally use on the touch screen, so it will feel natural right away.
