ADS AND PERMISSIONS The free version shows ads (Google AdMob): a banner on the timer screen while no workout is running, and an ad that can appear when you come back to the app. Ads never appear during a workout or in the 2 minutes after it. On first launch the app asks for permission to track you (App Tracking Transparency) and, where required, shows Google's consent form. This only decides whether ads are personalised; the timer works the same if you say no. No account or sign-up. The timer works offline; ads and purchases need an internet connection.

MMA Timer is a fast, reliable interval timer built for combat sports training. Rebuilt from the ground up in 2.0: go from launch to a running timer in two taps with Quick Start, then keep training while your phone is locked — your rounds and countdown stay live on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Create sessions with blocks, rounds, rest, and optional phases inside each round (e.g., Boxing → Kicks → Clinch), or start instantly from a preset. Features • Quick Start: rounds × work × rest + one-tap format chips → GO • Interactive Live Activity — pause, resume & skip from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Background-correct cues that fire on time when locked or pocketed • Real boxing bell plus synthesized cues, with distinct phase-change and round-end sounds • Phases inside rounds with a clear animated active-phase indicator • Wall-clock timing with zero drift and a color-coded draining ring • Final-10-second pulse and flash warning • Drag & drop to build and reorder sessions and blocks • Session history to track completed workouts Whether you're doing pads, bag work, wrestling, BJJ flow rounds, or conditioning, MMA Timer keeps the clock simple and reliable.
