Features
Four things you won't get elsewhere
A native app, not a website in a browser. That's the difference between tapping around and a real timing system.
NFC · RFID · QR
Four ways to record a passing
Manual tap, QR code, holding an NFC chip to the phone, or a professional RFID reader for larger events.
OFFLINE
Works without a signal too
In the mountains or the woods, timing keeps going. Data is stored on the phone and syncs once you're back in coverage.
LIVE RESULTS
A public event page
Online participant registration, live and final results, and splits — all on your event's own page.
STREAM
Live broadcast from the course
Embed a YouTube or Facebook stream right into the results page. Viewers see the course and the times in one place.
How it works
From setup to results in one afternoon
01
You create an event
Name, date, start type, categories and checkpoints. In the app, in a few minutes.
02
Participants sign up
On the event's public page. They get a bib number automatically or pick their own.
03
You time and publish
Every recorded passing shows up in the results. After the race, mark them final with one tap.
In the app
Set it up once, then time with one tap
The app is light for outdoor use and has no unnecessary layers — no clicking through menus on the course.

Timing on the course
Tapping a row records a time — no confirmation needed. A green flash confirms it, and the offline bar shows what's waiting to sync.
Why TAQIO
The simplicity of a stopwatch, the accuracy of a timing company
Until now you had two options: time it by hand with a stopwatch, or pay for a professional timing company. TAQIO is the third.
STOPWATCH
Cheap, but you're retyping results into a spreadsheet after the race. Mistakes, no splits, no registration.
TIMING COMPANY
Accurate, but expensive and needs booking months ahead. With 40 participants, it just doesn't pay off.
TAQIO
Set up an event in minutes, time it with a phone or an RFID reader, and results are online the same second.

Comparison
NFC or RFID? When a reader pays off
Both methods record a passing automatically without manual tapping — the difference is how many participants need to cross the finish at once.

Timing in the mountains with no signal: what to prepare
The app times without internet too, but a few things are worth thinking through in advance so your battery doesn't die before the last participant.
