Boxing Timer for iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later

The lock screen countdown looks blurred

That's an iOS privacy setting, not a bug: iPhone hides Live Activity content while the phone is locked unless you allow it. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, and under Allow Access When Locked turn on Live Activities. The countdown will show in full.

The bell rings even with the silent switch on

That's intentional. Boxing Timer is a gym timer — a round bell you can't hear defeats the purpose, so cues play regardless of the silent switch, the way alarm clocks do. To train quietly, lower the volume or turn off sound cues in the app's Settings; visual and haptic cues keep working.

Putting the timer on a gym TV

Mirror your device via AirPlay (Control Center > Screen Mirroring) or plug in an HDMI adapter. Boxing Timer detects the external screen automatically and shows a dedicated large-format timer on the TV while controls stay on your phone.

Does it work with music?

Yes. Play anything — Spotify, Apple Music, a podcast — and cues briefly duck the audio, then return it to full volume. Your music never pauses.

Does the timer keep running if my phone locks?

Yes. Lock the phone, put it in your pocket, let the screen sleep — bells and warnings still fire on schedule, and the lock screen shows the live countdown. If the app is force-quit mid-session, it offers to resume where you left off on next launch.

Siri and Shortcuts

Boxing Timer supports App Shortcuts — say "Start Boxing Timer" or wire timer actions into your own automations in the Shortcuts app.
