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 — 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.
Paypal on android has 500MB. An app that displays a number and some text.
And a great open source meditation timer app uses 30MB storage with 20MB apk https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nyxkn.meditation
An open source app on android that has interval timers has a 50MB apk as well https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.codepup.workout_timer
totally understood and differences in frameworks, features, etc make a difference. however there are currently maintained android interval timer apps that are much smaller (all fdroid links)...
TimeR Machine - 4.85MiB
Interval Timer (privacy friendly build) - 7.89MiB
I have no apple to apple (heh!) comparisons, but these seem similar.
edit: if a simple app extends past 15MiB, it gets a serious glare from me. even a reasonably complex app like BareSIP (audio codec only build) is only 22.69 MiB
Thanks!
I didn't intend to defend op. Just wanted to add context
