I’m looking for a timer or some sort of stop watch for hangboard workouts. Something I can Velcro or clip next to my hangboard and could beep at certain intervals like 7 secs, 10 secs, 7 secs...

Have you tried using an internal timer app? I use the app grips and grades for my dangleboard workouts and it beeps to signal the start and end of each interval.

If you have an Android device the Complex Timer app is free and great. Signals the start and end of a interval and you can make it do pretty much whatever you want for various sets, reps, and rest durations. It was developed for hangboarding by Eva Lopez' boyfriend.

I use one called Hangboard Timer for iphone.  Barebones but works a treat.

If you have a beast maker, Grippy is super simple, comes with predesigned workouts, and is beautiful and modern.

We use a free Tabata timer app. intervals are completely customaizable. (on time, off time, rests between sets, number of sets, etc.)

+1 to Grippy app. I don't have a Beastmaker hangboard and just find the comparable hold on the hangboard I do have. Big plus to have a number of predesigned and crowdsourced workouts if you don't want to customize your own.

Trango Rock Prodigy Timer is free for iOS.  Not sure about Android.

+1   It took me a sec to figure how to build in it but I felt the customization was worth it.

+1 for the Tabata Timer app, easy to set up for customizable hang/rest intervals and then longer rest periods between sets, has fun sound effects to pick.  Free.

I use the tenso app on my phone. It works great and the developer is really nice and responsive to feedback.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
