About

TiMMA

Features
Read full description

TiMMA is a round timer made for martial arts: boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, BJJ, judo, wrestling, karate and taekwondo. It's big, clear and loud enough to run a whole class from across the gym. PRESETS FOR YOUR DISCIPLINE Start a 3 × 3:00 boxing session, a five-round MMA title fight or six BJJ rolls in one tap. Or build your own with any number of rounds, rest periods, a get-ready countdown and an end-of-round warning. COMBO COACH Turn on the coach and TiMMA calls combinations during every round: punch numbers for boxing, kicks and knees for Muay Thai, level changes for MMA. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard pace. BELLS THAT SOUND LIKE A GYM Boxing bells, gong, temple bell, taiko drums, referee whistle, arena buzzer and the 10-second wood clapper, plus countdown ticks and a voice that calls the round. Choose a different sound for round start, round end, the warning and session complete. SEE IT FROM ACROSS THE ROOM Once a round starts, the controls step aside and the clock fills the whole screen. Huge digits, a progress ring or an hourglass fill, and colour by phase: amber to get ready, blue for rest. Pick from ten themes and a range of fonts, or make your own colours. Add your gym's logo and AirPlay the timer to a TV. ALWAYS WITH YOU A Live Activity shows the round and countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with pause and skip buttons. When TiMMA is in the background, round changes ring as notifications. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Start your favourite presets with one tap, and keep your streak, minutes this week and last session in view on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. BUILT FOR THE MAT Lock the controls so a stray glove can't stop the clock. Tap the clock to start or pause. The screen stays awake while the timer is open. EVERY SCREEN Portrait and landscape on iPhone and iPad, and on iPhone Duo, with a tabletop layout when it's half-open. TRACK YOUR TRAINING Streaks, weekly minutes and every session, stored privately on your device. YOUR LANGUAGE TiMMA, its voice announcements and the combo coach are available in 25 languages. SIRI & SHORTCUTS "Start Boxing in TiMMA", "Pause TiMMA" and "Stop TiMMA".
