I made Kitchen Timer for my wife, who works in hospitality. Her kitchen timers kept breaking and needed replacing, so I built one that doesn't. Start as many timers as you need on an iPhone or iPad: one for the oven, one for the stock, one for the bread. Each counts down on its own, keeps going when you switch apps or lock the screen, and rings until you tap it. WHAT IT DOES • Several timers at once, each with its own name and colour • Keeps counting in the background and with the screen locked • Rings when a timer ends, and keeps ringing until you tap it • Time-sensitive notifications, which can get through Focus • Shows how long a timer has run over, in red • Quick time presets, and a default duration you choose • Your own list of timer names to pick from (oven, stove, fryer…) • iPhone and iPad, in portrait or landscape NOTHING TO SET UP No account, no login, and no data collected. Your timers stay on your device. Made by Guestled.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Guestled Kitchen Timer at none against ClassicTimer's 1. Guestled Kitchen Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 17.0). ClassicTimer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
