One-Liner

Boxing Timer Round is the premium round + interval timer for boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, and HIIT — built by an indie team obsessed with millisecond accuracy and zero ads.

Short Description (~80 words)

Boxing Timer Round is a beautifully-crafted round + interval timer designed for combat sports. It runs accurately even when your phone sleeps, rings the bell on your lock screen, and includes presets for traditional boxing, Muay Thai, and HIIT. Free forever for 3 workouts a day; Pro unlocks unlimited workouts, premium presets, and a library of bell sounds. Available in 15 languages, no signup required, zero ads. Made in Istanbul by a solo indie developer who actually trains.

Long Description (~250 words)

Most "boxing timer" apps fall into one of two camps: they either look like a 2008 Java app and ring a tinny bell that nobody can hear, or they're free-with-ads disasters that surprise you with a 30-second video right before you start a sparring round. Boxing Timer Round was built to be the third option: an indie, paid, beautiful boxing timer that respects your training time.

Under the hood, the timer uses real timestamps rather than naive countdowns — so even if iOS suspends the app to save battery, the moment you swipe back the round catches up to the exact correct second. Local notifications make sure the bell rings on your lock screen, even with the screen off, even from across the gym.

The free tier gives you 3 workouts a day with the classic boxing preset (12 rounds × 3 minutes) and the original Boxing Timer Round bell. Pro unlocks unlimited workouts, the Muay Thai (5 × 5) and HIIT (8 × 30s) presets, four additional premium bell sounds (gong, klaxon, whistle, alternate boxing bell), custom workouts that sync via iCloud, and priority support. $9.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $24.99 lifetime — pick your price.

Built with Expo, React Native, and RevenueCat. Localised to 15 languages. Privacy: zero personal data collected, no ads, no tracking, ever.

Founder Quote

"I started this because I got tired of every boxing app on the App Store either looking ugly, full of ads, or stopping the bell when my phone locked. I've been training boxing for years — I wanted a timer I'd actually use. So I built one."

— Doruk Dumlu, founder & solo developer
