Hangboard Buzzer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hangboard Buzzer is the interval timer that lets you stop staring at your phone and start hanging. Set up in seconds. Pick a proven protocol, or build your own from scratch: choose the grip, how many fingers and how many reps. That's the whole setup. Press Start, put the phone down and your headphones on, and Buzzer counts you through the workout. If yo udon't want to look at the app you don't have to. Sound cues match every buzz, Each moment has its own buzz: two sharp taps to go, a long soft rumble to let go, and heavy thuds that tell you how many fingers the next set uses. But if you are visually inclined, it is clearly observable from afar. So when you do look, the time left is big and clear, and the whole screen will help you hold on just a little bit longer. Buzzer also works with VoiceOver and VoiceControl. And when you think you're done, you're not. After every workout an arcade game starts: invaders march down and you defend the board. Get shot and you take a penalty hang, right there and then. Three strikes and you're still in it; a fourth ends the game. It's the extra set you didn't plan on, and somehow you'll want to do it. Compare scores with friends on a Game Center leaderboard (optional). • Research-backed protocols: add Abrahangs, Repeaters, Max hangs and more in one tap, with instructions and links to the sources • Custom programs: save as many as you like, each with its own hang and rest times • Haptic and audio cues: you never have to check the screen mid-hang • Large, clear visuals and VoiceOver support • Share programs: send one as a link, and a friend can preview and save it without installing the app first • Live heart rate (optional): see your bpm during the workout with AirPods Pro 3 • Effort rating: rate each session afterwards, with a suggestion based on your heart rate • Apple Health (optional): save sessions as Climbing workouts with heart rate and effort. Your weight is read from Health to estimate the energy each session burns. • Six colour themes and alternate app icons • No account, no ads, no tracking Hangboard Buzzer is free. If it earns a spot in your training, an optional tip in Settings helps keep it on the App Store. Tips unlock nothing, but they do make the developer very happy.
