Mochi Jikan (もち時間) is a round timer built for Kendo and combat sports — clean, focused, and distraction-free, with Japanese voice cues that keep you in the moment when practicing solo.
Configure warm-up, rounds, and rest periods, save your configurations as presets, and let the color-coded screen do the signaling so you never have to glance at a clock mid-keiko. The Practice Log records every session automatically, so your training history builds itself. Between sessions, work through Kihon sequences or browse 90+ terms in the reference library.
Built for the dojo and the gym. The interface disappears the moment a round starts.
