No tracking — just a timer that works. HOW IT WORKS Set your prepare time, number of rounds, round duration, and rest time. Start the timer and the screen tells you everything at a glance: black for prepare and rest, green for an active round, red for the final 10 seconds, gold when your workout is complete. Real bell sounds mark the start and end of every round, with a warning rattle 10 seconds before time's up. SWITCH & RANDOM SIGNALS Split each round into equal segments with a short signal at every switch point — perfect for rotating combos, partners, or positions. Or turn on Random signals for unpredictable cues during the round, great for reaction training and keeping your focus sharp. BUILT FOR THE GYM - Fully customizable prepare, round, rest, and round-count values - Color-coded phases you can read from across the room - Real bell and gong sounds, not synthetic beeps - Keeps your screen awake during your session - English and Ukrainian, switchable in one tap - Simple, minimal, dark interface — nothing to fumble with in gloves Whether you're shadowboxing, hitting the heavy bag, sparring, or running HIIT/Tabata-style intervals, Boxing Timer keeps your rounds honest without getting in your way.
