You set the timer. Put the phone down. Came back to overcooked pasta. One alarm isn't enough when you're cooking three things at once. Cook Timer runs multiple named timers side-by-side — pasta, chicken, veggies — all on one screen. Nothing gets forgotten because each timer tells you exactly what it's counting down for. [What Changes When You Use Cook Timer] • Multiple dishes in progress — nothing overcooked, nothing burnt • Each timer is labeled with the dish name — no more "which timer is that?" • Large countdown display readable from across the kitchen [Timers That Actually Go Off] - Triple alert: vibration + sound + screen flash - Works in silent mode — vibration and flash still fire - Background and lock screen compatible — keep cooking, we've got the timing People say things like: "Finally a timer that actually rings. Every time." "I'm doing laundry while pasta's going — no missed timer once." "The labeled timers saved dinner. I had 4 things going and nothing got overcooked." "I've had timers not ring when my phone was locked or on silent." — Cook Timer uses system notifications with triple-redundancy (vibration + flash + sound). Even with the screen off, even in silent mode, you'll know when your dish is done. "My last timer app broke after an update — right in the middle of dinner." — Core timer functionality is the one thing that cannot break. Cook Timer's alerts and countdown logic don't change with updates. "I opened my usual app and got a full-screen ad before I could even set the timer." — Cook Timer doesn't interrupt you at the moment you need it most. Open the app — the timer screen is already there. "Is it free?" — Up to 5 simultaneous timers and built-in presets are free. Premium unlocks unlimited timers and the full preset library ($0.99/month).
