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 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 account. A clean single-purpose timer with the common WOD formats. Solid if you want something minimal.
SmartWOD Timer
Free to download and well reviewed, with an Apple Watch app and Chromecast. The free version shows ads, and it sells Premium subscriptions and an Ad-Free upgrade.
