Built by Players, For Players
Free core timing with optional Pro saved profiles and draft tools
Product principles
We were frustrated manually tracking stack timings and rune spawns while trying to focus on gameplay. Existing timer tools either cost money, showed ads, or required sketchy permissions that could risk our accounts.
So we built a free core timer that respects your privacy and doesn't interact with game files, then added optional Pro saved-profile and draft picker workflows for players who want more control.
Free Core Timer
Core timing stays free. Pro Monthly and Pro Annual unlock additional saved profiles and advanced draft picker workflows.
