About

Egg Boil Pro

Features
Read full description

Egg Boil Pro is not a countdown with presets. It's a calculator โ€” it computes the exact time for your egg and your actual conditions, then runs the timer. No charts, no guessing: enter mass and starting temperature, or measure with your camera, and a real heat-conduction model does the rest. UNIQUE โ€” NO OTHER EGG TIMER HAS THIS โ€ข Physics, not a table. A numerical solution of the heat-conduction equation inside the egg, every time โ€” any mass, any starting temperature, any doneness: the time is always computed, never picked from a list. (Free) โ€ข Camera egg measurement. LiDAR depth (ยฑ1โ€“2 g) or an ordinary bank card as a scale reference โ€” the only way to know the real mass without a kitchen scale, all on-device; photos never leave your phone. LiDAR needs iPhone 12 Pro or later; the card path works on any iPhone. (Pro) โ€ข Self-learning. Rate a result ("spot on" / "overcooked") and the app builds a personal correction for your stove โ€” anonymous, aggregated calibration from the whole community also keeps improving the model itself. (Free) โ€ข Honest stove model. Stove type, burner size, the pot-to-flame diameter ratio, and water volume feed a real efficiency calculation โ€” "boils in N minutes" is computed, not guessed. (Pro) โ€ข Barometer altitude correction. Boiling point at your actual altitude โ€” in the mountains water boils at 93ยฐC, and the app already knows it, no manual entry needed. (Free) โ€ข Ice-bath carry-over physics. Accounts for the egg continuing to cook inside its shell without an ice bath, and shifts the pull time accordingly. (Free) ALSO RARE ELSEWHERE โ€ข World techniques, not just boiling โ€” Onsen (ๆธฉๆณ‰ๅต), Kopitiam, and Hamine, each with a step-by-step recipe, including how to mix water to the right temperature without a thermometer. (Pro) โ€ข Batches โ€” different doneness levels from eggs cooked together in the same pot, soft for the kids and hard for the salad, with separate alerts. (Pro) โ€ข 18 regional egg-size standards (EU, GOST, USDA, JAS, and more), auto-selected from your device region, so "size M" means the right grams where you live. (Free) โ€ข Quail eggs with their own thermal physics, plus dedicated peeling and marination guidance (ajitama-style). (Pro) โ€ข Egg age. Freshness changes cook time, peeling ease, and soft-boiled safety โ€” enter the packaging or best-before date and the model factors it in. (Pro) โ€ข Peeling-difficulty tips built from your actual cook parameters, plus nutrition facts computed from the real measured mass. (Free) FREE VS PRO Free: chicken eggs, 6 doneness presets, boiling water, egg mass by hand or by regional standard, altitude correction, ice-bath guidance, Live Activity/Dynamic Island/widget, and cook history. Pro adds camera egg and pot-volume measurement, the honest stove model, quail eggs, batches, egg age, Onsen/Kopitiam/Hamine, and full history with CSV export. PRO ACCESS Pro unlocks with an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or annual, both with a free trial for eligible new subscribers) or with a one-time Lifetime purchase โ€” pay once, no renewal, with Family Sharing included so eligible family members can use Pro too. Subscriptions are not eligible for Family Sharing. Current prices for all three options are shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions are auto-renewing: payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You're charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to period end, at the agreed price. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. The Lifetime purchase is a one-time payment and does not renew. Restore Purchases is available for all purchases.
