WHAT YOU CAN DO Start a competition and invite players with a share link Have matches scheduled per period, based on who is available Enter results and watch the ranking change straight away Promotion and relegation between tiers at the end of each period Mark the weeks you are unavailable, so you are never scheduled during a holiday Earn performance badges: King, On fire, Cold streak Submit wishes and feedback, and see what other players are voting for WHO IT IS FOR For regular padel groups, groups of friends and clubs that want more than a group chat full of loose arrangements. No more spreadsheet, no more debate about who still has to play whom. HOW IT WORKS A competition runs in periods of several weeks. At the start of a period you mark the weeks you cannot play. The app schedules the matches accordingly. Play your match, enter the score, and at the end of the period promotion or relegation follows from the ranking. IN-APP PURCHASES The app and all competition features are free. If you want your own avatar, optional avatars are available as an in-app purchase. These purchases are purely cosmetic and give no advantage in the competition. LANGUAGES Dutch and English.

Boxing Timer

Read full description

A round timer built to be heard, not watched. Pick a regulation format, ring the bell, put the phone in your pocket — every round of the session is carried by sound from a locked phone. Cornerman reproduces the real timekeeper's kit as three separate instruments, following the actual rules of the ring: • A struck brass BELL starts and ends every round. • A wooden CLAPPER knocks ten seconds before the round ends — deliberately not a bell, so nobody stops punching early. • A referee's WHISTLE calls "seconds out" ten seconds before the next round starts. Three different sounds, so you always know what just happened without looking. All three keep sounding with the screen locked and the app in the background, they ring straight through the ring/silent switch, and they mix OVER your music instead of stopping it. THE FORMAT LIBRARY The way in is a named, published distance — not a wall of sliders. Free, forever: • Boxing · World title — 12 × 3:00, 1:00 rest (WBC · ABC Unified Rules) • Bell check — 3 × 0:30, the fastest way to hear what the app does Every format is fully editable, free: rounds, round length, rest, get-ready time. Serious people train off-spec on purpose, so changing these numbers is never behind a paywall. BUILT FOR A GYM, NOT A DESK • Seconds readable from across the room — the clock IS the screen • The whole screen changes colour with the phase: green work, red rest, orange final ten • A full-screen flash on every bell, for rooms too loud to hear one • The round rail: one segment per round, so you always know where you are • Press-and-hold to pause — a glove brush or a pocket press can't kill your session • Landscape wall mode for a phone propped against a mirror or a bag stand • Works on silent. Phones in gyms live on silent. CORNERMAN PRO • Every regulation distance, one tap: women's professional boxing (10 × 2:00), the 4/6/8/10-round ladder, amateur U17 and school-age, MMA championship and amateur, IFMA Muay Thai, kickboxing championship, IBJJF match clocks, Tabata, EMOM and circuits • Spoken round calls — the round number, called just after the bell • Mid-round markers — a soft tick at the halfway point or every 30 seconds • Four bell voices: brass bell, wood block, air horn, digital tone • Warm-up and cool-down blocks around the rounds HONEST BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Nothing you set leaves the device. Settings has a plain-language page on what this timer does and doesn't do — including the fact that iOS itself can close any backgrounded app under memory pressure, and that haptics only work while the app is on screen. The bells are the signal. SUBSCRIPTIONS Cornerman Pro is available as a weekly subscription at $3.99/week with a 3-day free trial, or a yearly subscription at $17.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
