The cue you don’t see coming.

ThreatClock is a training timer for replica dry-draw and visualization practice. It places random threat cues inside a window you choose. When one fires, the app plays a warning and a voice names the place, even if the phone is locked or silent.

iPhone is on the App Store. Android is in Google Play closed testing, so there is no public Play page yet.

Replica trainers only. Use ThreatClock with fake, inert, dummy, or replica devices that cannot fire a projectile. Never handle a real firearm with this app. Real firearms belong with a qualified instructor, separate from this app.

Built for surprise practice

Upcoming times stay hidden by default. You set the window, the count, and the place. The app picks the moments.

ARM

A day, or the next hour

Arm a daily window with a minimum gap, or roll a short burst of alerts for the next 60 minutes at home, the office, a vehicle, or another place you choose.

ALARM

It reaches you through silent

On iPhone, AlarmKit wakes the phone without the Clock alarm sound. ThreatClock then plays its own warning, lowers that sound while it says the place, and repeats the phrase every 15 seconds. A Live Activity stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you are armed. Android uses exact alarms and a full-screen alert.

CUE

Place and entry, spoken

Each cue names a location and an entry, such as the front door or the driver door. The voice says “Threat,” then that entry, and keeps repeating until you clear it. Public places are visualize-only.

CLOCK

Shot clock on the phone

Start Instant, or use Instructor mode with a delay. On iPhone the start sounds are buzzer and BEEP, or a custom recording. The start sound is not logged as a shot. Android still uses PACT, Beep, Horn, or a custom recording. Audio stays on the device.

LOG

Visualized or dry draw

After a cue, mark the rep visualized or dry-draw complete. On iPhone that also starts the shot clock. Reaction times, shot times, and splits stay in the log on your device.

WATCH

Wrist, same drill

The Apple Watch app shows armed status, can arm the next hour, and runs the shot clock. It ducks its warning the same way while it says the place. Wear OS shows the threat on a paired Android watch.

SHOT CLOCK

A timer for the string, not just the cue.

After a threat fires, open the shot clock and run the rep. It is the same idea as a range timer: a start beep, then splits for each shot the phone hears.

  • Instant. Press START and the beep fires immediately. The subtitle on the clock says the buzzer means go.
  • Instructor. Pick a delay of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, or 10 seconds. The phone counts that down, then sounds the start.
  • buzzer, BEEP, or custom. Those are the iPhone start sounds. Record a custom one on the phone. Preview it, and push the volume to max. The beep itself is not the first shot.
  • On-device listening. The microphone hears the rep and draws a level meter. On iPhone, Apple Intelligence helps tell the start sound apart from a dry-fire click or a shot. Audio is not uploaded.
  • Times and splits. Scroll the clock to see each shot’s time and split. Name the string and it shows up in Log. The Apple Watch clock runs the same modes, and the phone still captures the shots.

Four steps

Accept the safety screen, then leave the phone alone.

Accept the rules

Replica or dummy trainers only. The app will not start a drill until you confirm that.

Set the window

Choose hours, days, threats per day, the minimum gap, and which entries are in play.

Arm threats

Allow alarms. Lock the phone. When a cue fires, the warning plays and the voice names the entry.

Run the rep

Mark visualized or dry-draw complete. On iPhone that starts the shot clock. The log stays on the device.
