Eggsy Egg Timer helps you boil your eggs to perfection—just the way you like them, anytime, anywhere. How does it work? • This app calculates the perfect boiling time based on your egg's size, preferred doneness, starting temperature, and your altitude. Why altitude? • Boiling time changes significantly with altitude. The higher you are above sea level, the longer it takes to boil an egg. Don’t worry—this app handles all the calculations for you. What about different egg sizes and room temperatures? • Eggsy Egg Timer includes all common egg sizes and temperatures, but it also offers full customization so you can add your own.
