Because ninja deserves professional-grade technology.

-
Accuracy: Track every run down to milliseconds.

Speed: Start, stop, and log runs instantly without missing a beat.
-
Flexibility: Add, remove, or reorder obstacles mid-event; create custom rules for every course.

Control: Manage athletes, heats, and scoring from one central app.
Unlike other tools, Ninja Timer combines the simplicity coaches love with the power organisers need — making every session or event feel professional, precise, and exciting.
Behind the App
Ninja Timer was born from frustration — and passion and was created out of a simple problem — Ninja events were being run with tools that weren’t designed for Ninja.
Stopwatches, spreadsheets, and generic sports timers made training sessions harder than they needed to be. Times were inconsistent, results were slow to record, and competitions often felt more stressful than they should.
As someone involved in the Ninja community, I saw the same challenges appear again and again — whether it was at training sessions, local competitions, or community events. There was no simple, reliable, Ninja-specific solution.
There was:
-
Inconsistent stopwatches
-
Messy spreadsheets
-
Overpriced, bloated ninja timing software
-
Unreliable timing tools that added stress instead of efficiency
The goal? Create a clean, powerful, competition-ready tool that makes every event smoother, faster, and more exciting — for athletes and organisers alike.
So Ninja Timer was built.
The goal was clear:
-
Create a timer designed specifically for Ninja Warrior
-
Make it fast, simple, and reliable
-
Support both training and competitions
-
Keep it accessible for gyms, coaches, and backyard ninjas alike
And the best part? Ninja Timer is free.
Every feature is designed from the ground up to solve real problems for real users, based on firsthand experience running competitions, coaching classes, and training athletes. From live scoring to customizable courses, Ninja Timer is built by the community, for the community.
Ninja Timer continues to evolve based on real-world feedback from athletes and organisers around the world. Every update is focused on making Ninja events smoother, fairer, and more enjoyable.
This app isn’t about replacing the Ninja experience — it’s about supporting it.

About the Developer
I built Ninja Timer from direct experience in the sport. I compete, coach, officiate, and run events. I understand how the sport works at every level.
I have over 10 years of experience as a competitive ninja athlete. I compete at an elite level across Australia and internationally. I currently compete as an Australian Pro Male, ranked Number 1 in NSW, Top 5 in Australia, and Top 10 globally. This level demands precision. Timing must be accurate, consistent, and fair every time.
I have also spent years coaching athletes, officiating competitions, and managing events. This exposed a clear problem. Most timing systems are unreliable, inconsistent, or not built for ninja. They create stress for organisers and doubt for athletes.
Most timing systems are built for general sport, not ninja. That creates gaps in accuracy, workflow, and event flow. That gap is where Ninja Timer started.
Built from firsthand elite competition experience and real event operations.
Why Ninja Timer Exists
Ninja Timer exists to solve a real problem.
Timing is not just a number. It impacts results, rankings, and trust in competition. When timing fails, confidence in the sport drops.
Ninja Timer removes that risk. It improves flow in training, reduces pressure in events, and strengthens fairness in competition. It is built so you can focus on performance, not the system behind it.
It is also designed to stay accessible. Ninja Timer is free to use so athletes, coaches, gyms, and organisers can access reliable tools without cost barriers.
Ninja Timer is not designed as a generic stopwatch replacement. It is built specifically for structured ninja training and competition environments.
Mission
To build accurate, reliable, and simple tools that improve fairness, performance, and efficiency in ninja sport at every level.
Vision
To become the standard timing and event system for ninja globally. From local gyms to elite international competitions, creating a consistent system the sport can rely on.
Built With Purpose
Ninja Timer is independently built and operated. Every part of the platform is designed, developed, and improved by me.
Every feature comes from real use in gyms, competitions, and live events. Not theory. Not assumptions. Real problems that needed real solutions.
The system is tested across different environments and devices to ensure it performs under pressure. It has been used in live training sessions and competition environments under real event pressure.
Features are shaped by feedback from athletes, coaches, and event organisers in the ninja community.

What Matters to Me
Everything in Ninja Timer is built around core principles.
Accuracy, simplicity, reliability, and fairness are non negotiable.
If a tool does not improve performance or reduce friction in real use, it does not belong in the system.
The focus is always on building tools the sport can trust.
Looking Ahead
The sport is still growing, and the tools need to grow with it.
Ninja Timer will continue to evolve based on real feedback from athletes, coaches, and organisers. New features will focus on solving real problems, not adding complexity.
The goal stays the same. Build tools the sport can rely on at every level, from grassroots training to elite competition.
