Boxing Timer is a round and interval timer built for the gym, not the app store screenshot. It does one job and does it right: the bell fires on time, every time. Lock your phone, drop it in your bag, and every round bell and warning still sounds exactly on schedule. Your music keeps playing - cues duck the volume for a moment and hand it right back. The display reads from across the gym. No account. No sign-up. No data collected. Open the app, set your rounds, hit start. WHAT YOU GET - Rounds, work, and rest down to the second, with a get-ready countdown and up to two warnings before the bell - Reliable audio with the screen locked, plus a live countdown on the lock screen - Bells play through the silent switch, the way an alarm should - Gym TV mode over AirPlay or HDMI: a huge, high-contrast clock and nothing else. No ads on the TV, ever. - Not just boxing: Muay Thai, MMA, kickboxing, HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, and your own intervals - Save any setup as a preset, one tap next time - Accent colors: green, red, blue, or orange, plus a color-blind-safe palette - Pick a sound for every cue and hear it as you choose it - Log finished sessions to Apple Health (write-only, optional) - Start by voice with Siri and Shortcuts - Shake to start, pause, or resume Boxing Timer is free, and the whole timer is the app - there is no locked "pro" tier. A single sponsor card on the home screen keeps it free, and it never appears mid-round, in widgets, or on the gym TV. Made by a boxer, for boxers.
