Boxing Timer is the round timer fighters actually use. Built for boxing, MMA, kickboxing, and HIIT — 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 — "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 3×3, Kickboxing 5×2, MMA 5×5, HIIT 10×30 — 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.

Shadow is the boxing round timer built for one truth: once your wraps are on, your phone is off-limits. YOUR CORNERMAN, BUILT IN Turn on coach mode and a voice calls out real combos during your rounds — "one, two, slip, two", "jab, cross, switch kick". Boxing and Muay Thai, three difficulty levels (beginner, intermediate, pro), with callouts researched from real coaching practice. Combos are random every round, so no two sessions are ever the same. Pick any voice installed on your iPhone. HANDS-FREE VOICE CONTROL Say "pause", "go" or "skip" and the timer obeys. Speech recognition listens for the whole workout — no buttons to press, no gloves to take off. THE BELL NEVER STOPS Lock your screen, drop your phone in your bag, walk to the other side of the gym: rounds keep turning and the bell keeps ringing. No more silent timers. YOUR ROUNDS, YOUR RULES - Rounds, round length, rest and warm-up — fully adjustable - End-of-round warning (the classic 10-second wood clack) with custom timing and sound - Repeating inner-round alerts (e.g. every 30 seconds) to switch pace or technique - Rest-end countdown so you're up before the bell - 15 full-screen colors per phase, readable from across the gym - 29 sounds, all free: classic bell, gong, air horn, war horn… and a meme pack your gym will hear about READY OUT OF THE BOX Boxing (12x3:00), Muay Thai (5x3:00), Beginner, Tabata, plus coach presets — one tap and you're working. Shadow PRO (optional, one-time purchase) - Unlimited custom presets - Zero ads, forever - No subscription. Pay once, own it for life. Everything else — every sound, every color, the voice coach, voice control — is free. Built dark, loud and legible, for boxers, kickboxers, Muay Thai athletes, and anyone who trains in rounds.
