Cook eggs exactly the way you like them with eggy—the cute egg timer that turns guesswork into a simple routine and delicious results. Whether you want a runny yolk, a soft center or a firm hard-boiled egg, eggy helps you find the right cooking time for every egg. Not every egg is the same. That is why eggy calculates your boiling time from the egg size, its starting temperature and your preferred doneness. Pick S, M, L or XL, or enter the exact weight for a more personal countdown. Choose metric or imperial measurements for weight and temperature. WHY YOU’LL LOVE EGGY • Smart boiled egg timer: get a calculated cooking time for your settings, not a generic countdown. • Three clear results: choose liquid, soft or hard for breakfast, toast, salads and snacks. • Starting temperature: account for an egg straight from the fridge or one closer to room temperature. • Flexible sizing: use standard carton sizes or enter the egg’s actual weight. • Easy cooking guide: follow six friendly steps from boiling the water to the cold-water finish. • Ready alarm: get alerted when time is up, so you can prepare the rest of breakfast without watching the clock. • Live Activity: keep the remaining time visible at a glance on supported system surfaces. • Home Screen widgets: see your egg timer quickly and start again with less fuss. • Apple Watch app: choose your settings and start a timer right from your wrist. • Siri and Shortcuts: start an egg timer using your latest settings through a system action. • Cute by design: warm colors, cheerful egg artwork and a clear interface make cooking feel lighter. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the size printed on the carton, or enter the exact egg weight. 2. Set the egg’s starting temperature. 3. Select the texture you want: liquid, soft or hard. 4. Carefully lower the egg into boiling water and tap Start. 5. When the alarm sounds, move the egg to cold water to stop it cooking. From soft-boiled eggs for toast to firm eggs for salads, meal prep and lunch boxes, eggy is a focused kitchen assistant you can rely on. There are no boiling-time charts to memorize and no kitchen clock to watch. Set your preferences, let eggy calculate the countdown and get on with your morning. Some features, including custom egg sizes, widgets and the Apple Watch app, require Eggy Golden. Actual cooking time can vary with your stove, altitude and water temperature, so adjust your preferences to suit your kitchen. Download eggy and make the perfect breakfast egg easy, reliable and wonderfully cute.
