Cue Up — Kitchen Timer Cooking rarely needs just one timer. Cue Up lets you run as many as you need, all at once, without losing track of any of them. Voice labels Hold the start button and record a quick message — "pasta," "roast chicken," "reduce the sauce." Cue Up transcribes it automatically and plays it back when the timer finishes. Anyone in the kitchen can hear exactly what's ready — useful when you've nipped out and someone else is holding the fort. Presets Save your go-to timers and kick them off with a tap — or launch several at once when you're cooking to a plan. Roast dinner with four things in the oven? One tap starts every timer simultaneously so nothing falls behind. Siri shortcuts Start timers without touching your phone. Ask Siri to start a preset by name — "Hey Siri, cue up boiled egg" — and you're done. Runs in the background Lock your phone, switch apps, keep cooking. Cue Up keeps every timer running and alerts you the moment each one finishes. Simple by design No subscriptions, no account, no setup. Open the app, set a timer, get back to cooking. Requires microphone access for voice labels and speech recognition for automatic transcription. Both are optional — the app works without them.
