Round Timer vs Shoshin

Round is the ultra-customizable interval timer designed to supercharge anything you do. It’s packed with features like customizable colors, custom presets, a rich library of sounds, voice announcements, proximity sensor support, shake-to-pause, and precise time entry. Track your sessions with detailed summaries, enable tick sounds, and enjoy an intuitive, ad-free interface. Perfect for any activity, from sports to work.

Shoshin is a voice-first training journal for Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Talk for twenty seconds after class and it turns what you said into notes you can find again, a technique library built from your own training, and weekly recaps that show what keeps coming up. I kept losing the good parts of training. A coach would fix one detail - a grip, an angle, where my hips were meant to be - and two days later I had the feeling that something important had been said, and nothing else. A paper notebook lasted three weeks. Phone notes turned into a pile I never opened. Talking on the way home was the only thing I ever did twice, so I built the app around that. LOG BY VOICE Say what you drilled, what caught you, what your coach corrected, what made no sense at the time. No blank page, no typing, no tidy sentences required. It takes about as long as walking to the car. WEEKLY RECAPS Every week, a recap shows what you actually trained rather than what you meant to train, and what keeps coming up round after round. It is written with the previous month in view, so a detail from three weeks ago does not get lost. A LIBRARY MADE OF YOUR OWN TRAINING Every technique you log goes into a library built from your sessions rather than a generic encyclopaedia. Each one stays linked to the notes it came from, so you can see when it turned up and what happened when it did. SOMETHING TO TAKE TO THE NEXT CLASS Instead of starting from zero, you can see the thing that keeps repeating and pick one detail to work on. One is usually enough. Gi and no-gi, white belt to black belt. Built for people who train often enough that the sessions start running together. HOW YOUR RECORDINGS ARE HANDLED Audio is transcribed using a third-party AI provider, and recaps, summaries and technique suggestions are AI-generated, which means they get things wrong sometimes - the app shows you the raw transcript next to the polished one. Voice recordings are deleted from storage seven days after upload. Your entries are private to your account, are never shown to other users, and are never used for advertising. SUBSCRIPTION Shoshin has no free tier: the journal needs a Shoshin Pro subscription. Yearly includes a 14-day free trial for new subscribers; Monthly has no trial. Prices are shown in your local currency in the App Store before you confirm anything. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings.
