Boxing Timer

Boxing Timer is the round timer fighters actually use. Built for boxing, MMA, kickboxing, and HIIT โ€” with the real bell, the wooden clapper warning, and a coach calling combos. What makes it different Real boxing protocol. The brass bell rings at round start and end. The 10-second warning is the wooden clapper you hear ringside, not a beep. A four-bell finale closes a session. Voice coach with combos. A male English voice calls combos during rounds โ€” "one, two, three", "slip, two", "head, body, head". Cadence is yours: light, standard, heavy, or off. Pick any voice installed on your device. Built-in presets and a custom editor. Boxing 3ร—3, Kickboxing 5ร—2, MMA 5ร—5, HIIT 10ร—30 โ€” plus a custom preset editor for any rounds, durations, and warning windows. Phase-aware visuals. Champion red during work, recovery blue during rest, gold pulse for the warning, gold celebration on completion. The whole screen tells you where you are without reading a number. Bluetooth heart-rate straps. Pair a Polar H10, Wahoo TICKR, Garmin HRM-Pro, or any chest strap implementing the standard heart-rate service. Falls back to Apple Watch via HealthKit when no strap is connected. Tap to pause, swipe to skip rest. The ring is a big tap target. The bell stays on time even when the screen is locked. Built for serious training Live heart rate, on-screen, big enough to read between exchanges. Workouts saved automatically as boxing sessions in the Apple Health and Fitness apps. Weekly stats with rounds, active minutes, and a daily training streak. Recent sessions list with average heart rate per workout. Three-two-one digits at the end of every round so you finish strong. Workout completion celebration: trophy, metrics, streak update. Designed for iOS Tab-bar navigation. Glass material pills. SF Pro Rounded for the timer digits. Honors Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver. Background-audio mode keeps the bell ringing accurately when the screen is locked. Built for iOS 17 and later. Privacy No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your workouts stay on your devices. Train.
