The Kitchen Timer app is a small application that I created for my wife, who owns and works in a restaurant. It does not require a login, it does not collect data, and it works on iPads and iPhones. It saves money for those who need kitchen timers, since they often break and need to be replaced. The app can also run in the background, showing a notification when each timer expires.
Timers
This utility app allows you to run multiple timers concurrently, with options for preset durations and organizing them by category. It provides sound and vibration alerts, displays end times, and supports adding time while a timer is active. Dark mode is also available for enhanced usability.

- Preset timers for quick start
- Organize timers with categories
