AI coach, WOD timers, CrossFit and Hyrox programs, PR tracking: everything to train from A to Z. Evox is the timer built for CrossFit, Hyrox and functional fitness: AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, For Time, Death By and free intervals, all in one app. Ready in seconds. YOUR AI COACH Set your goal and Evox writes your sessions, then schedules them across your week. Injured, tired, slammed at work? Say so and it adjusts. Every week it starts from what you actually did, not from a fixed plan. PRO TIMERS - AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, For Time, Free, Death By - Chain several blocks in one session: EMOM into AMRAP into a Tabata finisher - Fully configurable rest between blocks - Quick timer in 2 taps from the home screen - Built-in camera with on-screen timer for form checks and sharing YOUR MUSCLES, SESSION AFTER SESSION After every session, Evox shows what your muscles took, from the movements you actually did. Tap a muscle to see where the load came from, follow your body over 7 days or 4 weeks, and share your session as a story. YOUR WATCH IN THE SESSION Connect Apple Health: heart rate per block, zones and a full curve on every session, and workouts done outside Evox land in your log. Read only, never used for ads. IMPORT ANY WOD Screenshot your coach's programming: Instagram, WhatsApp, Google Sheets, or paste the text. Evox reads it and sets up a session ready to launch. No more retyping. TRACK EVERYTHING - Your PRs and RMs, added in one tap and kept in one place - CrossFit benchmark records: Fran, Cindy, Helen, Murph and more - Hyrox race records: full, mid, mixed, doubles - Full session history, 1RM calculator and percentage tables PROGRAMS & PLANNING Follow multi-week plans (Hyrox Discovery, CrossFit Foundations, Core Burner), build your own sessions, and plan your week in a built-in calendar. OR CONNECT YOUR ASSISTANT Already using an AI assistant? Connect it to your Evox account and it reads your training data: a review of your recent sessions, where you're plateauing, how your volume is trending. Your data stays yours, and you can disconnect any time. BUILT BY ONE ATHLETE Evox is made by Olivier, solo developer and CrossFitter. No investors, no marketing team. An app built to be trained with. FREE TO TRAIN The core is free: timers, WOD library, PR tracking, builder and history. A free account adds cloud sync, programs and AI connectors.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Exercise Timer at none against Evox's shown. Exercise Timer also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Evox's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Exercise Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Evox sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Exercise Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exercise Timer has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Exercise Timer ships an update monthly, Evox every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
