User Reviews

Box Timer is praised for its simple, distraction-free approach to HIIT timing: a free, no-frills timer that handles intervals, EMOMs, and countdowns without ads or subscriptions. Reviews highlight its minimal UI, ease of use, and practicality as a gym timer. The main recurring drawback is its orientation limitation, with several users noting it works best in portrait mode and that landscape functionality is lacking, though most users feel it delivers value as a portable, reliable timer.

Pros

Simple, minimal design with no ads or subscriptions
Free to use with no hidden fees
Focused on real gym timer functionality (intervals, countdown, EMOM) without unnecessary features
Easy to use and edit with a straightforward interface
Portable and reliable for gym-style workouts

Cons

Orientation is limited to portrait mode; landscape usage is either not supported or awkward, making it hard to operate when rotated

I love this timer! I have tried several other products and this is a winner. It is super simple, non-intrusive, and allows me to specify 2 repetitive activities and how many times I wanted to repeat the cycle. That’s exactly what I wanted.

I spent hours looking for and trying gym timer apps. Something simple to replace a physical gym clock. Simple stuff, intervals, countdown, up/down timers… the basics… Everything I downloaded had so many features that they were almost unusable. Or simple features (like saving a workout) required payment. Box Timer on the other hand had all the normal features found on a physical gym timer, without any of the unnecessary bloat. Almost like the developer actually goes to a gym and has actually seen a gym timer. Best of all, totally FREE.

All I wanted was a simple interval timer app for HIIT exercises. This app does everything I could want from an interval training app and nothing extraneous. Best of all the developer is actively maintaining it. I found a minor but annoying bug, emailed him about it and was met with a shockingly fast response and fix. Couldn't ask for more. Happily donated a few dollars to support this great app.
