LiveSplit for Windows

LiveSplit — Precision Timing Built for Speedrunning

LiveSplit is a free, purpose-built timer used by speedrunners to track run times and manage splits. It offers an intuitive interface and extensive customization, letting users adapt the layout and behavior to their preferred workflow. The program is suitable for newcomers learning to split runs as well as experienced competitors refining their strategies.

Key Capabilities

• Integration with external tools and streaming setups to extend functionality and automate workflows.
• Built-in comparison features that let you view personal bests, attempts, and other benchmarks alongside your current run.
• Support for multiple timing methods and layouts so you can choose the timing style that fits your category or hardware.
• The ability to create and maintain several split configurations for different games or segments.

Why Speedrunners Use It

LiveSplit combines a clean, configurable display with powerful timing features, making it easy to set up splits, compare progress, and focus on improving pace. Its lightweight design and flexibility allow racers to tailor the experience — from on-screen widgets to hotkeys and autosplitters — helping players optimize every run.

An Alternative to Try

If you want something different, consider WSplit or LiveSplit One (the browser-based version). They provide similar split-management functionality with a slightly different interface and setup process, which some users prefer depending on their workflow.

Getting Started

Download the official release to install locally or try the web-based LiveSplit One for a no-install option. Both are free and include documentation and community resources to help you configure splits and integrations quickly.
