Free Handstand Hold Timer
Face the camera to calibrate, turn around to set up, then kick up facing the screen so you can watch the clock while inverted. Tracking runs on your device — no video is uploaded, no account needed.
Safety first: clear the floor around you and practice against a wall. No rush after calibrating — setup moves won't cause a false start.
How the tracking works
Your camera feed runs through Google's MoveNet pose model inside your browser. It tracks your wrists, shoulders, hips and legs. The clock only starts once both legs are stacked above your hips and shoulders and stay there for about 0.7 seconds — setting your hands down, piking up, or kicking with one leg won't trigger it, and a kick-up that falls straight back down doesn't count. Once you're locked in, the time is counted from the moment your feet got there. Come down, fold, or drop your legs and the clock stops — that's your time. A brief tracking flicker under a second never ends a genuine hold.
What it can't check: pose tracking is least reliable upside down, so lighting and camera distance matter. It times the handstand position it can see. It can't tell whether you're on a wall or free-standing, and it won't judge your form — the honesty of the hold is up to you.
Why on-device matters
No video leaves your phone. Pose tracking runs in your browser, no video or photos are saved or uploaded, and there is no account or sign-up wall to use the timer.
Handstand hold form and setup tips
Best setup flow: stand facing the phone and watch the two-second calibration lock in. Then turn around and take your time setting your hands down — moving around, stepping in, or a wobbly first kick won't start a false clock. When you kick up, you're facing the phone again, so you can see the timer running while you're upside down and know right away it's tracking you, instead of spending energy on a hold that isn't being counted. Form: hands about shoulder-width apart, fingers spread, arms locked, body stacked in one line from wrists to toes, glutes squeezed and ribs tucked. For the camera: prop the phone 8 or more feet back so your whole body fits in frame with room above your feet when inverted. Use even lighting and clothes that contrast with the wall behind you. Practice against a wall first, and clear the floor around you.
