Crux Hangboard Timer
· v1.1.1
About
Chalked hands. Phone on the floor. Stop fumbling mid-session.
Crux is a dedicated hangboard and fingerboard timer that lives on your wrist. Strong, distinct vibration cues tell you exactly when to grab, when to let go, and when your rest is over, without ever looking away from the board or touching your phone.
