Simple Boxing Timer is a fast, no-friction round/rest interval timer built for boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and any circuit-style training that runs on rounds. No nested menus, no setup screens - adjust your rounds, round length, break length, and warning time right on the main screen, then start with one tap. Skip breaks entirely for back-to-back rounds, or dial in your rest exactly how you like it. Running workouts and every setting - sounds, voice announcements, themes - is completely free, with no ads. You can save up to 3 presets for free; an optional $0.99/year Premium subscription unlocks unlimited saved presets plus Past Workouts, your full history of completed sessions. Every workout you complete is logged automatically from day one, whether or not you've subscribed, so subscribing later reveals your entire history retroactively, not just what you log after subscribing. FEATURES - One-Tap Start - configure and go, no multi-screen setup. - Fully Custom Rounds - set rounds (1-20), round length, break length (or skip breaks entirely), and a warning cue up to half your round length. - End a Workout Early, Without Losing It - done after a few rounds? Save your progress as-is instead of starting over or losing it - only what you actually finished gets logged. - Save Up to 3 Presets Free, Unlimited with Premium - save your favorite configurations by name and reload them instantly. - Round Tags - label individual rounds ("Southpaw," "Just Kicks," or whatever you like) right when you save or edit a preset - see them on screen and hear them called out at the start of that round. - Past Workouts - every completed (or early-ended) workout is logged automatically, grouped by month and year, so you can relaunch or save any past session as a new preset. Viewing your history is part of an optional $0.99/year Premium subscription. - Voice Announcements - optional spoken round/break/warning callouts, so you never have to glance at your phone mid-round. - 8 Sound Options - pick your own bell, click, horn, or whistle sound for round starts, warnings, and workout completion. - Lock Screen & Dynamic Island - a live countdown Live Activity shows your current round and time remaining, even with the app closed. - Works Locked & Backgrounded - a background clock-tick ambience (volume adjustable - Low/Medium/High) plus a notification fallback mean your bell still rings if your phone locks or the app gets closed mid-workout. - Switch Audio Output Anytime - tap the AirPlay icon on the Workout or Active Workout screen to send round bells and announcements to your phone's speaker (or any other connected device) without digging through Settings. - Three Themes - Light, Dark, and a retro arcade-styled look. Simple Boxing Timer has no ads, ever. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tm4747.github.io/apps-legal/simple-boxing-timer/
