Egg Timer alerts you the second they're done — even if your phone is locked or the app is closed. WHY EGG TIMER • 3 doneness levels, shown visually — pick with your eyes, not with numbers • Smart timing: adjusts to egg size (S–XL) and fridge-cold vs room-temp eggs • An alarm you can trust — fires on time even with the app closed • Live countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • A charming pot that bubbles more as your eggs get closer to done • +1 minute button for extra-firm fans • Built-in pro tip: a 60-second ice bath makes the shell slide right off PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No account. No tracking. No internet needed — everything runs on your device and the app collects zero data. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, meal prep, ramen eggs, egg salads — and everyone who has ever chased "6 minutes" around the kitchen with a phone stopwatch. Made by a solo developer — if Egg Timer nails your eggs, a rating helps more than you know.
