Manual

01Tap the participant's name

In the participant list, tap their row — the app records the current time instantly, with no confirmation dialog. The switch in the top right toggles the list to a grid of bib-number tiles instead of names — handy when participants' bib numbers are clearly visible on them, since it gives a better overview on a phone screen than a list of names.

02Search for a participant

If the list is long, search by bib number or name in the search field above the list.

03Scan the QR code

Scan the participant's QR code with the phone's camera — the app records the time automatically as soon as it recognises the code.

04Print QR codes in advance

The app generates them in event settings — nothing to handle on site, just have them printed and ready at the start.

05The participant holds their chip to the phone

The app listens in the background — nothing to tap, just hold the phone to the chip on the wristband or bib. It reads any standard 13.56 MHz NFC chip — the same frequency used by contactless payment cards — regardless of its shape: a wristband, a sticker, a card, or a tag sewn into the bib. All that matters is that it's a working NFC chip with its own unique code, not its form or manufacturer.

06Assign the chip to a participant in advance

In event settings → Participants — ideally right when handing out the bib number.

07Connect an RFID reader

The app receives data directly from the reader with no complicated pairing — works with common Bluetooth and USB readers. The reader's type or frequency doesn't matter: it works with 125 kHz touch-and-go readers, with 13.56 MHz readers (the same frequency as NFC), and with long-range UHF readers that pick up a chip from a distance without touching it.

08The reader picks up a passing from a distance

Useful for a dense finish, where NFC participants would otherwise have to queue up to tap their phone. 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz readers still need the chip held close, just like NFC, but their stronger antenna picks it up more reliably than a phone does. A UHF reader goes further still — it catches the pass from a distance, without the participant touching anything.

If a chip loses power or is lost, the app still lets you record that one participant's time by hand, even on an NFC/RFID event — see Timing at the finish.
