Our verdict on Splitter

Splitter is a free speedrun timer for individual runners on macOS. Built on LiveSplitCore, it supports manual run timing and split management, making it a fit for Mac users who want a configurable desktop timer rather than automated split detection. Its built-in editor and support for importing LiveSplit files can help runners bring existing split data into the app. The product’s scope is individual timing, not a confirmed current leaderboard integration.

The core workflow centers on control and presentation. Runners can customize global hotkeys, open and split runs with Shortcuts actions, and display an overlay over full-screen games. Layout options cover colors, fonts, columns, and components, while runs can be saved in Splitter’s native .split format. Import and export support for LiveSplit files gives it an interoperability path for runners who already keep splits in that format; exports are also available in LiveSplit (.lss) and Splits.io (.json) formats. Splits.io integration was removed from the Mac App Store version in 6.3, so its current role should not be assumed to include leaderboard services.

Splitter is distributed free through the Mac App Store, with a single Free plan that includes the timer, hotkeys, overlay mode, and splits editor. The main trade-off is platform and automation: it is limited to macOS and does not offer autosplitting, so runners need to manage timing manually. Community support is the stated support channel, which may be a constraint for anyone expecting direct support. Choose Splitter if you run on a Mac and value configurable timing with LiveSplit file compatibility; look elsewhere if you need Windows support, automatic splits, or confirmed current leaderboard integration.
