Free AMRAP Timer for iPhone

The countdown timer built for As Many Rounds As Possible workouts

What is AMRAP?

AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds As Possible (sometimes As Many Reps As Possible). You set a time cap — typically 10, 15, or 20 minutes — and perform a fixed sequence of movements as many times as you can before the clock runs out. Your score is the total number of complete rounds, plus any additional reps completed in a partial round.

AMRAP is one of the most common formats in CrossFit programming because it rewards both speed and pacing. There is no finish line — the goal is to keep moving at maximum sustainable effort for the entire time cap. A descending clock creates urgency: watching time disappear drives athletes harder than a count-up timer does.

Common AMRAP movements include pull-ups, push-ups, air squats, burpees, kettlebell swings, and box jumps — any movement that can be cycled repeatedly for the duration of the time cap.

Why Box Timer for AMRAP?

  • Countdown timer — AMRAP needs a clock counting down from your time cap, not up from zero. Box Timer's count down mode is purpose-built for this.
  • Loud finish beep — A long beep sounds when the time cap hits zero so you hear it even mid-rep. No need to watch the screen while you are moving.
  • Warning beeps — Audio cues in the final seconds give you time to finish a rep before the clock runs out.
  • Large display — Digital numbers you can read from across the gym. Rotate to landscape for a full-screen view to prop up next to your barbell or pull-up rig.
  • Saved workouts — Pin your 20-minute Friday AMRAP or your 10-minute benchmark and reload it with one tap.
  • Works with your music — Timer beeps play over your playlist without pausing playback.
  • Free, no ads — No subscriptions, no premium tier, no ads mid-workout. Built for athletes.

How to set up an AMRAP timer

  1. Open Box Timer and tap Edit Timer
  2. Select Down as the timer type
  3. Set the duration to your time cap (e.g. 20:00)
  4. Optionally turn on Countdown for a 10-second lead-in before the clock starts
  5. Tap Save, then Start

The timer counts down to zero and plays a long beep when the time cap is reached. Record your rounds and reps completed for your score.
