Ring Timer is a round timer for boxing, MMA, kickboxing and any training that runs on rounds and rest. Set it once and put the phone down. The bell rings, the last five seconds tick, and the round number is called out, all with the screen locked and the phone in your bag. ROUNDS THAT SOUND RIGHT • A real bell to open and close every round • Countdown ticks over the last five seconds, so you feel the round ending • Optional spoken round numbers, so you never have to look • Everything is independently switchable — bell only, ticks only, silent BUILT FOR TRAINING, NOT FOR STARING AT • Runs with the screen off and the app in the background • A Lock Screen widget shows the round you're on without unlocking • Big, high-contrast digits that read across a gym YOUR ROUNDS, YOUR WAY • Five ready-made profiles: Classic Boxing, Amateur Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai and Kick Boxing • Or build your own, rounds, round length, rest length, warm-up and end warnings • Rename, duplicate and delete profiles freely ON YOUR WRIST • A full Apple Watch app, not a remote • Start, pause and stop from the watch, with or without your phone nearby • A tap on the wrist at every round boundary SYNCED, PRIVATELY • Your profiles and settings follow you to every device via your own iCloud account • Nothing is collected, nothing is tracked, no account to create • Ring Timer has no server, your data goes to your iCloud, not to us NO SUBSCRIPTION Ring Timer is free, complete, and stays that way. There is a tip jar for anyone who wants to support it, which unlocks a badge and a few alternate app icons. It unlocks nothing else, every timing feature is free for everyone, forever.

Most timers beep. Timerox talks. A boxing and BJJ round timer with a coach in your ear. It counts you in, calls the work, holds the pace, and in Drills mode it calls your combos out loud so you can shadowbox or hit the bag without breaking rhythm to look at the screen. DRILLS: A COACH CALLS THE COMBOS Training alone is hard because you have to invent the next combination while you are tired. Timerox does that part. A voice calls the combinations while the round runs, so you just move: • Boxing: jab, cross, hook, uppercut, slips and rolls • Kickboxing: punches plus leg kicks • Muay Thai: the full arsenal, punches, elbows, knees, teeps and roundhouse kicks • Upper Body and Lower Body conditioning drills Dozens of combos per discipline, in English, French and Spanish. The closest thing to a coach holding pads. A ROUND TIMER FOR EVERY MARTIAL ART Boxing rounds, Muay Thai rounds, BJJ rolls, MMA and kickboxing sparring. Set the work, the rest and the number of rounds once and the timer runs the session. Presets are ready to go, including Boxing Rounds and Jiu-Jitsu Rolls. CHOOSE YOUR COACH Pick who is in your corner today. Every voice is a different personality: • BJJ Coach: intense Brazilian energy, pure effort • Caring Coach: warm and grounded, calm support without the yelling • Hardcore: a drill sergeant, no excuses • Robot: a cold, precise sci-fi training AI • Quiet Strength: stoic and steady, presence over volume • Silent: just the timer, when you want one You choose per workout. Every voice speaks English, French and Spanish, and the whole app is translated to match. HIIT, TABATA AND INTERVALS TOO Not a fighter? Timerox is also a precise HIIT, Tabata and interval timer for cardio, strength, EMOM and mobility. Build any structure: prep, work, rest, cycles, sets and cooldown. Presets include HIIT 30/30, Classic Tabata, EMOM 10, 5 × 5 Sets and Mobility Flow. Quick Timer is a one-tap countdown for when you just need a clock. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR • The screen stays awake for the whole workout, so a phone propped against the wall stays readable from across the room • A big, high-contrast countdown you can read mid-set, out of breath • Lock the screen during a round so a bumped phone does not skip your timer • Your music keeps playing underneath the cues • Sound and haptic cues on every phase change, both optional YOUR LIBRARY AND HISTORY Organize workouts into categories with favorites pinned to the top, and share your own as a .timerox file over Messages, Mail or Files. A quiet history dashboard tracks your streak, your week and your total training time. FREE Free, with one ad after every second completed workout. A one-time purchase removes ads and supports development. No subscription and no locked features: every voice, every drill and all of your history are free either way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ring Timer at none against Timerox's shown. Timerox's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
