Round and rest intervals for your training.
A boxing round timer alternates work and rest so you can follow a timed session. These example formats are starting points for practice, not competition rules or prescribed workouts.
3-minute boxing rounds
Three 3-minute rounds with 1-minute rests take 11 minutes, plus preparation. Rest runs between rounds, not after the final round.
Heavy-bag and shadowboxing timer

Timer controls
Built for heavy-bag rounds and glove-on training.

Pause or resume the timer when you step back into camera view.

Restart a training round without taking your gloves off.

Why it matters
More practical than a normal boxing round timer.
Most boxing timer apps assume you can tap your phone between rounds. AR Boxing is designed around the reality of training with gloves, sweat, wraps, and a phone that may be set away from the bag.
Keep moving
Control timer states with supported punch gestures so your workout flow stays intact.
Use your iPhone camera
No Apple Watch, wearable sensor, or extra boxing hardware is required for camera-based timer controls.
Train with structure
Use timed rounds for heavy bag work, shadow boxing, conditioning, or solo boxing practice at home.
FAQ
Boxing timer questions.
Can I use this as a sparring timer?
Yes. Set the round length, rest and number of rounds agreed with your coach. The timer provides intervals and sound cues; it does not supervise sparring or replace a coach or official timekeeper.
Does the boxing timer have sound and a 10-second warning?
Yes. Sound cues mark phase changes, and the optional warning sounds when 10 seconds remain in a work round. Test the bell and your device volume before starting. Keep the page visible for reliable audio.
Can I use it as an interval timer for MMA or kickboxing practice?
Yes. The free web timer can time work and rest for other training sessions, including 5-minute work rounds. Set the intervals for your planned practice; it does not enforce competition rules or provide sport-specific coaching.
Is the online boxing timer free?
Yes. The timer on this page is free, with no account or download. Set your rounds and rest, then start. The separate AR Boxing iPhone app requires a subscription.
Will it run with my screen locked?
Keep this page visible and your phone unlocked for reliable round sounds. The timer requests screen-awake support where available, but your browser or battery settings may prevent it. Test the bell before your workout.
Can I control a boxing timer with gloves on?
Yes. AR Boxing supports punch gestures for timer controls when you are within camera range. A left hook pauses or resumes the timer, and an uppercut restarts a round, as shown in the controls above.
Do I need to stay in camera range during heavy-bag rounds?
You need to be in camera view for gesture controls. You can work on the bag while the round runs, then return to camera range to control the timer.
Can I use the timer without a rhythm workout?
Yes. AR Boxing includes a dedicated timer mode for timed rounds and rest periods independently from rhythm training. It can structure heavy-bag rounds or shadowboxing practice.
Do I need an Apple Watch or voice commands?
No. The camera-based gesture controls do not require an Apple Watch, wearable sensors, or spoken commands. Place your iPhone so it can see your movements when you use a control.
Is the timer free to use in the app?
The AR Boxing app requires a subscription to access training features, including the timer. There is no free trial; review the current subscription terms in the app before purchasing.
