ChronoLog — Watch Accuracy Tracker & Audio Timegrapher for Mechanical Watches
Track the accuracy of your mechanical watches with professional-grade tools. ChronoLog combines an audio timegrapher, offset measurement logging, and atomic time synchronization into one app — purpose-built for watch collectors and horology enthusiasts who care about precision.
No subscription. No account. One-time purchase unlocks everything.
MEASURE WATCH ACCURACY — THREE WAYS
• Audio Timegrapher: Use your device's microphone to listen to your watch's tick and measure rate (seconds per day), beat error, and amplitude — the same metrics a professional timegrapher provides.
• Photo Offset: Photograph your watch dial against atomic time, enter the displayed time, and ChronoLog calculates the exact offset. The most precise manual method for measuring watch accuracy.
• Tap Timing: Tap when your watch hits a specific second to quickly log an offset. Fast, simple, and works with any watch.
TRACK ACCURACY OVER TIME
Each measurement is logged to a timing run — a series of readings that ChronoLog analyzes together. Monitor your watch's daily rate, see how accuracy changes day to day, and spot regulation issues before they become problems. Tag measurements with conditions like position, temperature, or wear pattern to understand what affects your watch's performance.
ATOMIC TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
ChronoLog syncs with NTP atomic time servers so every measurement is referenced against true time — not your phone's clock. View the live atomic time, compare it to your device, and use it as a precision reference when setting your watches.
DETAILED ANALYTICS & VISUALIZATIONS
Dive into performance graphs that show rate trends, offset history, and accuracy patterns across your entire collection. See at a glance which watches in your collection are your most accurate daily wearers and which need regulation or service.
BUILT FOR WATCH COLLECTORS
• Add unlimited watches with photos, brand, model, serial number, caliber, and notes
• Organize your collection with archive support
• Export all measurement data to CSV for your records or your watchmaker
• Back up and restore your full database across devices
WHY CHRONOLOG?
Whether you're a seasoned collector checking COSC-grade accuracy, a hobbyist curious about your Seiko's daily rate, or a watchmaker tracking regulation results — ChronoLog gives you the tools to measure, log, and understand your watch's timekeeping performance.

Nouveautés (v2.2.1)
NEW: Spanish language support
The full app — watch accuracy logs, timegrapher, charts — now available in Spanish. Select Español under Settings → Language.
NEW: Movement Type & Battery Tracking
Tag every watch as Automatic, Manual Wind, Quartz, or Solar. Quartz watches now track battery type and last-changed date alongside the rest of your collection details.
Smarter Wear Log Stats
A new "Most Recent" tab shows when each mechanical watch last left your wrist. "Most Worn" and "Most Frequent" now list every watch in your collection — not just the top five.
Music No Longer Interrupted
Opening the watch app no longer pauses your music or podcasts. The microphone is only claimed when you start an audio timegrapher session.
Better Audio Timegrapher Over Time
Timegrapher sessions now send anonymous diagnostic data (no audio recorded) so beat detection, rate, and amplitude keep getting more accurate across a wider range of mechanical watches.
Performance & Polish
Faster timegrapher beat-lock, smoother live rate updates, and fixed text-input freezes. Action buttons restored for previously archived watches.
