About

Boilo

Boilo: Egg Timer helps you cook the exact egg you want without guessing. Choose soft for a runny yolk, jammy for a creamy center, medium for a firmer bite, or hard for the classic full set. Tap once and the timer takes over. The egg is the timer. As it cooks, a warm glow builds around the egg on screen. When time is up, the egg cracks open with a chime and a gentle haptic, and a notification still reaches you if the phone is on the counter. That is the whole app. No accounts, no recipes, no menus. Cooking time is calibrated for large eggs dropped into boiling water at sea level - the kitchen convention most people already use. The free version supports the app with one banner ad and an occasional interstitial. Lifetime Remove Ads is a one-time purchase that keeps the experience clean forever. Built for people who just want perfect eggs. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
