Fury is a workout timer built for people who train hard and don't want to fiddle with their phone between rounds. THREE TIMERS Stopwatch โ€” counts up until you stop it. For time. Interval โ€” rounds and rest, repeated as many times as you need. Boxing rounds, EMOM, Tabata, circuits. Countdown โ€” one fixed block of time. AMRAP. ONE TAP TO START Tabata, boxing rounds, EMOM and AMRAP are already set up. Tap a preset and go. Save your own with a name, and it stays there. READ IT FROM ACROSS THE GYM The clock fills the screen. Turn the phone sideways and it fills it edge to edge, so you can drop it on the floor or prop it on a bench and still see it from the far side of the room. You get a horn on the start, a beep on the last three seconds, and a long tone when a round ends โ€” so you can keep your eyes off the screen entirely. KEEPS RUNNING WHEN YOU PUT IT DOWN The workout carries on where you can see it: on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. Turn the screen off and every round change still reaches you. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app runs the same timers on its own, with a haptic tap on every cue. You feel the round change even in a loud gym, and it keeps counting with your wrist down. NOTHING IN YOUR WAY No ads. No account. No subscription. No tracking of any kind โ€” the app collects nothing and talks to no server. Your settings are remembered between sessions and that's the extent of it. Works with no connection at all, and plays alongside your music instead of cutting it off. Free.
