Round-up
The best free WOD timers (2026)
Not every "free" WOD timer is actually free once you want to customise it. Here are the honest free picks for CrossFit-style training — starting with the one that keeps every custom setting unlocked.
GRIT WOD Timer
Free — every mode and every custom timer setting included, no account, no ads gating features, no paywall. For Time, AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, custom intervals and a time-of-day clock, plus a big landscape gym-floor clock and an RX/scaled logbook. The pick if you want full customisation for nothing.
Box Timer
Free, no ads, no in-app purchases. A clean single-purpose timer with the common WOD formats. Solid if you want something minimal.
PushPress Timer
Free timer from a gym-management company, with the standard formats and an Apple TV / big-screen mode for the gym floor.
SmartWOD (free tier)
Has a free tier, but it carries ads and puts the full feature set — including customising timers — behind a paid upgrade. Adds a workout generator if that's what you're after.
