## What is HotpotMan?

HotpotMan is an offline timer made for hotpot meals.

Tripe should stay crisp, duck blood should stay tender, beef should be lifted just after it changes color, and meatballs need enough time to cook through without sitting too long. The best flavor of each ingredient often lives in a short window of seconds.

HotpotMan includes practical reference times for common hotpot ingredients, and you can also add your own custom times. Whether you follow a restaurant's signature method or your own favorite texture, the timing can match the way you like to eat.

After an ingredient goes into the pot, HotpotMan shows a clear status: ready, almost ready, or still cooking. It helps you lift food at the right moment and keep the original freshness, tenderness, snap, and aroma of every ingredient.

You can run multiple ingredient timers at once, review what went into the pot, check meal statistics, and generate a fun hotpot report or poster to share with friends after the meal.

All data stays on your device. No login is required, and the app does not depend on a network connection.
