Most timers beep. Timerox talks. A boxing and BJJ round timer with a coach in your ear. It counts you in, calls the work, holds the pace, and in Drills mode it calls your combos out loud so you can shadowbox or hit the bag without breaking rhythm to look at the screen. DRILLS: A COACH CALLS THE COMBOS Training alone is hard because you have to invent the next combination while you are tired. Timerox does that part. A voice calls the combinations while the round runs, so you just move: • Boxing: jab, cross, hook, uppercut, slips and rolls • Kickboxing: punches plus leg kicks • Muay Thai: the full arsenal, punches, elbows, knees, teeps and roundhouse kicks • Upper Body and Lower Body conditioning drills Dozens of combos per discipline, in English, French and Spanish. The closest thing to a coach holding pads. A ROUND TIMER FOR EVERY MARTIAL ART Boxing rounds, Muay Thai rounds, BJJ rolls, MMA and kickboxing sparring. Set the work, the rest and the number of rounds once and the timer runs the session. Presets are ready to go, including Boxing Rounds and Jiu-Jitsu Rolls. CHOOSE YOUR COACH Pick who is in your corner today. Every voice is a different personality: • BJJ Coach: intense Brazilian energy, pure effort • Caring Coach: warm and grounded, calm support without the yelling • Hardcore: a drill sergeant, no excuses • Robot: a cold, precise sci-fi training AI • Quiet Strength: stoic and steady, presence over volume • Silent: just the timer, when you want one You choose per workout. Every voice speaks English, French and Spanish, and the whole app is translated to match. HIIT, TABATA AND INTERVALS TOO Not a fighter? Timerox is also a precise HIIT, Tabata and interval timer for cardio, strength, EMOM and mobility. Build any structure: prep, work, rest, cycles, sets and cooldown. Presets include HIIT 30/30, Classic Tabata, EMOM 10, 5 × 5 Sets and Mobility Flow. Quick Timer is a one-tap countdown for when you just need a clock. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR • The screen stays awake for the whole workout, so a phone propped against the wall stays readable from across the room • A big, high-contrast countdown you can read mid-set, out of breath • Lock the screen during a round so a bumped phone does not skip your timer • Your music keeps playing underneath the cues • Sound and haptic cues on every phase change, both optional YOUR LIBRARY AND HISTORY Organize workouts into categories with favorites pinned to the top, and share your own as a .timerox file over Messages, Mail or Files.
