Cook eggs exactly the way you like them - soft, jammy, medium, or hard-boiled.

Add different eggs to the same pot. The app tells you exactly when each egg should come out, so everyone gets their preferred doneness. WHAT EGG TIMER CAN DO: - Quick presets for soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs - Precise manual control for doneness, size, and temperature - Calculate by egg weight or width - Automatic or manual altitude adjustment - Adjust for stove type and water volume - Reliable timers, advance alerts, sound, and vibration - Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Light and dark appearance - Metric and imperial units PREMIUM: The timer for one egg is free to use.

Start with boiling water, choose the doneness, egg size, and starting temperature - Egg Timer handles the rest.
