The round timer for everyone — from first-timers to fight camps. Boxing Timer is the simplest way to run boxing rounds, MMA rounds, Muay Thai, kickboxing, HIIT and Tabata intervals. Set work, rest and rounds in about five seconds, hit start, and put the phone down. A real boxing bell calls every round, a 10-second warning keeps you sharp before the buzzer, and the screen stays awake so you never touch your phone mid-round. Train at home, in a garage gym, or coach a full class — if you can put a clock on it, this timer runs it. WHAT YOU GET - Custom work, rest and round counts for any sport - Real boxing bell at the start and end of every round - 10-second warning before the round ends - Voice cues that call rounds out loud, hands free - Vibration alerts that cut through loud gyms - Ready-made presets: 12×3 boxing, 5×5 MMA, 3×3 Muay Thai — plus your own - Long rest after any number of rounds - Daily training stats: sessions, rounds and minutes - Landscape mode, built to be read from across the gym - Keeps running with the screen off and over your music BUILT FOR EVERYONE Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, BJJ, karate, taekwondo and wrestling — plus heavy bag work, pads and mitts, sparring, shadow boxing, circuits, Tabata, HIIT and bootcamp intervals. Beginners get going in seconds; coaches run whole sessions off one phone. WHY PEOPLE STICK WITH IT No setup screens to fight through. No account. No ten-step onboarding. Open the app, set your rounds, train. Big digits you can read from across the room, bells you can hear over a loud gym, and zero fuss in between. BOXING TIMER PRO - Turn rest between rounds off completely - Long rest after a set number of rounds - Unlimited saved presets - Voice cues - No ads Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a single lifetime purchase.

Bout is a round timer built for boxing, Muay Thai, and kickboxing — with a twist: it calls out real combos while you work the bag, so solo training doesn't mean training blind. TRAINING MODE Pick your sport, set your rounds, and Bout calls out combos in real time while you work — jab, cross, teep, kick, knee, elbow, whatever you enable. Choose Boxing, Kickboxing, or Muay Thai, and a Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced level to match your experience. Want full control? Customize exactly which strikes are in rotation, or build your own custom combos strike by strike. SPARRING MODE Sometimes you just need a clean, quiet round timer — no voice, no combos, just the bell. Sparring mode strips everything down to rounds, rest, and a real bell so you can focus on your partner. BUILT FOR THE BAG, NOT THE COUCH Bout works in landscape, so you can prop your phone up next to the heavy bag and actually see the timer from a few feet away — no more squinting at a tiny portrait screen mid-round. WHY BOUT - Accurate lead/rear strike terminology across boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai - Customizable combo-calling frequency - Add your own strikes and combos - Leave a round early anytime - Completely free — no subscription, no paywall, no ads Whether you're drilling solo on the heavy bag or timing rounds with a partner, Bout keeps time and keeps you working.
