Emerald Timestamp captures the precise time of events, and lets you associate a description with each one. It is also a highly-accurate running clock.

Very high precision:
- Uses atomic clocks via NTP, usually accurate to within 0.2 second
- Color coding (yellow and green) makes it obvious when you have a valid synchronization
- The network is required for synchronization, but you can record events without it with less accuracy
- When the app restarts, it uses the previous synchronization offset until the first sync comes in
- Version 2.0 and above display leap seconds in progress

Events are grouped by day in a scrolling list
- Record as many events as you like
- Add a description to any or all events
- Create multiple buttons with custom names to predefine event descriptions
- Easily show the difference in time between any two events

Easily cycle between time representations by tapping on a time in the display:
- Local 12-hour time
- Local 24-hour time
- UTC (aka GMT)
- Julian Date (JD) (settable globally to JD(TT) or JD(UTC))
- Interval from a reference time (using any event as a zero reference)

There is also a running clock at the top of the display showing the time in the chosen format.

You can use a hardware keyboard (such as the iPad Pros Smart Keyboard) to trigger events using the space bar, enter key, or digits 1 through 0. [NOTE: if the keyboard is a bluetooth keyboard (unlike the Smart Keyboard which is direct connect) there will be a slight delay between the keyboard press and the time the app records.]

Email the time and description of an event, or all events (uses your devices email program), optionally using TSV or CSV for spreadsheets.

A complete description of each application feature can be found in the built-in Help screens and on the Emerald Sequoia LLC Web Site. A developers blog may also be found at http://emeraldsequoia.com/esblog/ .

All date displays are localized, though the interface and Help are in English only.

If you are having any trouble with the application whatsoever, please see our FAQ on the support page listed below and then contact us through that page if your problem is not resolved. We take pride in responding promptly to all support email requests.

(NTP time synchronization requires network access. Like all other iOS apps, Emerald Timestamp cannot set the devices internal clock.)

Gut gemacht und superpräzise

Absolut Spitze! Einfach und ergonomisch bedienbar, sehr präzise, für meßtechnische Anwendungen und Kalibrierungen im Rahmen der manuellen Genaugkeiten sehr nützlich. Genauigkeit der Synchronisierung meist bei 0.04-0.05s. Mobile Erfassung von Einzelereignissen, Wechsel zwischen Absolut- und Relativzeit, auch nachträglich, Ergebnisse durch E-Mail an z. B. an PC oder Spreadsheet-Programm versendbar. Für jegliche Zeiterfassung perfekt.

Mechanical Watch Accuracy

I have a Seiko self-winding watch with their famous 7S26B movement. Although not particularly expensive (or accurate) I love the watch because it’s a piece of classy machinery and a piece of history, at the same time. But how accurate is it? To find out, I bought Emerald’s ‘Timestamp’ app. Every morning, at 7:25am (exactly) on my Seiko, I hit the green button, which records the exact (Internet) time. That lets me see how fast or slow my watch is set. Let’s say it is running 00:03:00.0 fast (3 minutes). If, the next morning, at 7:25am (exactly) on my Seiko the timestamp reads 00:03:15.0 I know two things: It is approximately 3 minutes fast and it lost 15 seconds over the last 24 hours. This app lets you do that conveniently and keep records. You can set yesterday’s reading to zero and know what happened over 1 day or set last week’s reading to zero and know for the week. So …what’s the big deal… you might ask. Just try to add or subtract two numbers in the time format 00:00:00.0. You will surely invent a few new cuss-words. It’s a pain. Timestamp does it easily.

Simple but powerful utility

This app does what it promises without any issues that Ive found. Just after I bought it a new version was released that really made this that much more powerful: pre-defined event buttons. Recommended!

すごくよい

黙々とタイムスタンプを残せます。 それをメール送信出来ます。 経過時間も見れます。 人により、活用場面は様々でしょう。 これに換わるアプリは探せませんでした。 すごくよいですが、日付の書式が変えられたら、なお良いです。

Works as advertised

Decent app with dozens of uses. Would be nice to be able to select two events and see the time difference between them.

Timestamp

A nice piece of work. Great for astronomy. With iPod Touch one cannot set the devices time precisely. This app takes care of that.

Functions as advertised

This app does exactly what it says. It precisely marks the time of an event and lets you enter a description of that event.
