Grill Timer

Stop guessing when your steak is done. GrillTime gives you the exact cook time, flip moment, and safe pull temperature for every cut on the grill β€” so you fire it up, follow the timer, and pull it perfect every single time. Most grilling apps hand you a wall of recipes and leave the timing to luck. GrillTime works the other way around: pick your protein, thickness, and how you like it cooked, and it calculates minutes-per-side and the exact internal temperature to pull at. Timers buzz you to flip at the halfway mark and again the second it's ready β€” even if you've walked back to the cooler. WHAT YOU GET - Exact cook times dialed in to your cut, thickness, and doneness - Safe USDA internal pull temps you can trust for meat, poultry and fish - Flip alerts at the halfway point so both sides cook evenly - Multiple timers running at once β€” steak, corn and wings all land hot together - 24 built-in cuts across beef, pork, chicken, seafood, lamb and veggies - Saved cooks and a history log so your go-to dinner is one tap away PERFECT FOR - Weekend grillers who want restaurant-level results at home - Anyone tired of dry chicken or gray, overcooked steak - Cookout hosts juggling several cuts on one grill - New grillers learning heat zones, temps and doneness WHY NOT JUST USE A KITCHEN TIMER? A plain timer doesn't know a thin flank steak cooks faster than a thick ribeye, or that chicken is only safe at 165Β°F. GrillTime does the math for your specific cut and tells you both when to flip and when to pull β€” the two things a stopwatch can't. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking β€” just great food. Your saved cooks and history never leave your phone. FULL ACCESS A GrillTime membership unlocks everything: unlimited side-by-side cook timers, the complete cut-by-cut grilling guide, and saved cooks that stay offline forever. Choose the plan that fits β€” a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks everything forever. Fire up the grill, pick your cut, and let GrillTime call the flips and the pull. Download it before your next cookout.
