All I wanted was: set rounds, set rest, press start, hear a bell. That's it.

Every timer app I found was either full of ads, required a subscription, or had 47 features I didn't need. I just want to hit the bag without watching a 30-second ad between rounds.

So I built BoxTime โ€” a dead-simple round timer for boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, whatever. You set your rounds, rest time, and go. No account, no subscription, no interruptions.

Features I actually use:

  • Custom round/rest times
  • Warning bell at 10 seconds
  • Different sounds for round end vs rest end
  • Works with screen off (this was huge for me)

But honestly, even a kitchen timer taped to your wall works. The point is having STRUCTURE in your training. Random bag work without timed rounds is just cardio with extra steps.
