About

Kitchen Timer

Cooking three things at once while the oven clock tracks only one? KitchenTime is a kitchen timer built for real cooking: pasta, rice, tea and eggs counting down side by side, each with its own loud alarm. Most timer apps hand you a single countdown. KitchenTime hands you a board: up to 12 timers running at the same time, each with its own name, a big readable countdown and an alert that fires even when your phone is locked or the app is closed. WHAT YOU GET • Dinner where the pasta, the sauce and the roast veg all land together — up to 12 timers running side by side • A soft egg at exactly 6:00 from one tap — 10 kitchen presets covering pasta, rice, eggs, tea, steak rest and proofing dough • Your own “Roast chicken — 45 min” saved once, started in one tap every week after • An alarm that still rings with the screen off, the app closed, or even after your phone restarts • Start all and Pause all for the moment everything hits the stove at once • Countdown digits big enough to read from across the kitchen with wet hands PERFECT FOR • Home cooks juggling three pots and an oven • Parents lining up dinner, homework and bath time • Tea and coffee drinkers steeping more than one cup • Meal preppers batch-cooking a whole Sunday afternoon WHY NOT JUST THE CLOCK APP? The built-in timer runs one countdown and calls it “Timer”. When the rice, the eggs and the tea all need watching, one nameless countdown is how dinner burns. KitchenTime names every timer, runs them all at once, and tells you exactly which one just finished. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Your timers and presets live on your phone and nowhere else. FULL ACCESS KitchenTime requires a Full Access purchase: an auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Full Access opens the entire app — up to 12 simultaneous timers, all 10 kitchen presets, custom timers up to 3 hours, and your own saved presets. Put a name and a countdown on everything you cook — get KitchenTime and run your first full board tonight.
