Is livesplit the only time keeping app. People are using? I find it hard to use in game

Thing with doom is that THE only time that matters is IGT (unless we are talking about multi-episode categories, which will stay RTA). For more convinience use ports that show accumulated time after levels (crispy/prboom both do that). That also means that saving is simply not an option as game time doesn't account for your menu interactions.

If you record demos, then on playback you can also easily see your final time (at least in prboom). Or you can just do -levelstat (or -statdump) parameter when recording demos.

As for writting scripts for IGT for livesplit it is unfortunately a big problem. There are many ports, even vanilla compatible. There are a lot of versions of those ports. As a result the basic byte will be different and scanning all of them to work for doom.wad and doom2.wad etc... will just be a waste of time, since main community doesn't use external timers and game provides you with all the info.
