Passmark AppTimer is an extremely lightweight benchmarking tool designed for calculating the time an application requires to launch.

Passmark AppTimer runs an executable a number of times and time how long it takes for the application to reach a state where user input is being accepted before exiting the application. After each run of the application, Passmark AppTimer will then attempt to close it in an automated fashion while logging the startup time measurements to a log file.

Passmark AppTimer can be useful when comparing the performance of different products on the same hardware or comparing the performance of the same product on different hardware.
