Setup in seconds
Work, rest, rounds, and a Get Ready countdown. Adjust them on one screen and hit start — no menus to dig through.
Built for the mat
Set the timer,
Run the Room.
A round timer the whole room can read. Set work, rest, and rounds in seconds — then put the clock on the gym TV and keep the controls in your hand.

Rounds
Room-readable by design
Read the round from across the mat.
Every phase owns a colour and fills the screen with it. Athletes glance up and know where they are without being told, and you stop narrating the clock.
- Get Ready — the round is about to start
- Work — go
- Rest — breathe, reset partners
- Paused — held, nothing lost
- Complete — session done
External display · Combate Pro
Phone for the coach.
TV for the room.
Plug in over HDMI or send it by AirPlay and Combate draws a screen built for the room — not a mirror of your phone. Oversized digits in the phase colour, the round count, and what comes next. Your controls, your notifications, and everything else stay private in your hand.
- Pause, resume, and end without the room watching you do it
- Put your gym name on the screen so it looks like yours
- Any HDMI screen or AirPlay receiver — no extra hardware to buy
The rest of the timer
What it handles while you coach.
All of this is in the free app.
Accurate with the app closed
Combate works from wall-clock deadlines rather than counting ticks, so a session never drifts. Phase alerts reach you with the phone locked and in your pocket.
A sound for every phase
Give Get Ready, work, rest, and the final bell their own cue, with optional vibration. Or run the room silent.
Finite or infinite rounds
Programme six rounds, or let them roll until you call it.
Keep Screen Awake
The phone stays lit for the whole session instead of locking mid-round.
Session history
Total, working, and resting time for every session you finish, kept on the phone.
Presets
Set it once.
Run it again.
Most gyms run the same three or four formats forever. Save yours and load one in a tap — applying a preset drops you back on Home so you can check it before anything starts.
- Three saved presets free, unlimited with Pro
- Pro adds Classic Tabata, EMOM, and interval formats ready to go

Before you ask
Frequently asked questions
Who is Combate for?
Coaches and gym owners running martial arts, boxing, or conditioning classes — and athletes timing their own rounds. If a room needs to see the clock, it was built for you.
What is free, and what needs Combate Pro?
The timer is free and stays free: rounds, work and rest, Get Ready, per-phase sounds, vibration, background alerts, Keep Screen Awake, session history, and three saved presets. Pro adds the external display, AirPlay tools, Auto-Pause Music, exact time entry, built-in preset formats, and unlimited presets.
How much is Combate Pro?
$2.99 a month, $24.99 a year, or $39.99 once for lifetime access, in Canadian dollars — the App Store sets the equivalent in your region. Subscriptions renew until you cancel; lifetime never renews.
Will the timer stay accurate if I lock the phone?
Yes. Combate counts to wall-clock deadlines rather than ticking, so it cannot drift, and it schedules phase alerts through iOS so they reach you with the app closed. Pausing or ending a session clears them.
I already bought Pro. How do I restore it?
Open Combate Pro in Settings and choose Restore Purchases. Pro is tied to your Apple Account, so it comes back on any iPhone signed in to it.
