CookSync vs KitchenQ

Track pasta, rice and oven dishes with separate cooking timers in one clear view. CookSync helps you follow several dishes while you prepare the rest of your meal.

CHOOSE A DISH OR SET YOUR OWN TIME
Browse 34 dishes and 102 cooking presets across seven categories. Pick a cooking method, adjust the duration, or name a quick timer and set hours, minutes and seconds.

SEE WHAT IS COOKING
Track multiple countdowns, pause and resume each timer, and remove timers you no longer need. Live Activities show the countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported devices.

MADE FOR YOUR KITCHEN
Search dishes, filter categories and use light or dark appearance. On iPad, the catalog and timers can appear side by side. The interface supports 10 languages, including Ukrainian.

ALERTS AND AVAILABILITY
On iOS 26 or later, allow system alarms for locked-screen alerts. Earlier systems use notifications, which follow your sound and Focus settings. Live Activities require iOS 16.2 or later, or iPadOS 17 or later, on compatible devices.

Preset times are a guide. Adjust them to your ingredients and check your food before serving. No account required.
