Free EMOM Timer for iPhone

The simple, ad-free timer for Every Minute On the Minute workouts

What is EMOM?

EMOM stands for Every Minute On the Minute. You perform a set number of reps at the start of each minute, then rest for whatever time remains before the next minute begins. The faster you finish your reps, the more rest you get — which makes pacing a built-in part of the workout.

EMOM workouts are a staple of CrossFit programming and are popular for strength work, skill practice, and conditioning. They typically last 10 to 20 minutes and can be done with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, or bodyweight movements.

Why Box Timer for EMOM?

• Work-only intervals — Set round length with no separate rest period. The timer beeps every minute (or at your chosen interval) so you know when to start the next set.
• Clear round counter — The display shows the current round number so you always know where you are in the workout.
• Loud audio cues — Beeps signal each new minute even if you are not looking at the screen. Last 3 seconds of each round get warning beeps.
• Large display — Read the timer from across the gym. Rotate to landscape for a full-screen view you can prop up next to your barbell.
• Workout history — Save and pin your favorite EMOM setups. Reload a 10-minute EMOM or a 20-minute EMOM with one tap.
• Free with no ads — No interruptions, no subscriptions, no paywalls.
