Why Ninja Timer?

Because ninja deserves professional-grade technology.

From training runs to large multi-division events, Ninja Timer gives you:

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.

Our Mission

At its core, Ninja Timer is about empowering the ninja community:

Give coaches and event organisers tools they actually need
Help athletes measure their growth and hit new personal bests
Make competitions feel professional and fun

About the Developer

I created Ninja Timer because I’ve lived the sport of ninja from every angle — as an athlete, coach, official, and event organiser.

I have over 10 years of experience as a competitive ninja athlete, competing at the highest level both nationally and internationally. I currently compete as an Australian Pro Male, ranked Number 1 in NSW, Top 5 in Australia, and Top 10 in the world. Competing at this level has given me a deep understanding of how critical accuracy, fairness, and consistency are — especially when it comes to timing.

Beyond competition, I’ve spent 2 years coaching and officiating, as well as 2 years managing and running ninja events. This hands-on experience has allowed me to see exactly where traditional timing methods fall short. Whether it was inconsistent results, stressful event management, or tools that simply weren’t built for ninja, I knew there had to be a better solution.

Why I Built Ninja Timer

Ninja Timer was born out of real frustration and real need. I’ve experienced firsthand how unreliable or inefficient timing systems can affect athletes, coaches, and event organisers. Timing isn’t just about numbers — it’s about confidence, trust, and fairness.

I wanted to build a tool that people could rely on. Something that made training smoother, events easier to run, and competitions fairer for everyone involved. Ninja Timer is designed to give users control and clarity, so they can focus on performance instead of worrying about the system behind it.

Built Independently, With Purpose

Ninja Timer is a solo-built platform. I am the creator, developer, and owner, responsible for the concept, design, development, and ongoing improvement of the app and website. Every feature has been built with real-world use in mind, shaped by my own experiences in training environments and live competitions.

Testing and quality assurance were completed through proper external testing channels to ensure reliability and performance across different devices and situations.

What Matters to Me

Everything matters when it comes to Ninja Timer. Accuracy, simplicity, accessibility, reliability, and fairness are all equally important. My goal is to create tools that people can trust — tools that make them feel confident, capable, and in control every time they use them.

I care deeply about the ninja community and the future of the sport. Ninja Timer isn’t just an app to me — it’s something I use, rely on, and continue to improve based on real feedback and real experience.

Built for Everyone

Ninja Timer is built for everyone — athletes, coaches, gyms, schools, event organisers, and beginners starting their ninja journey. Whether you’re running a training session, coaching a class, managing a competition, or tracking personal progress, Ninja Timer is designed to adapt to your needs.

Looking Ahead

As the sport of ninja continues to grow, Ninja Timer will grow with it. I’m committed to continually improving the platform, adding meaningful features, and ensuring it remains a tool the community can rely on — from grassroots training through to elite competition.
