Kitchen Timer for busy cook

Features
Read full description

This kitchen timer is designed for busy cooks. When you are busy in the kitchen, there's usually no time to read the screen closely, there's no time to config timer, and your hands are usually either wet or occupied. I know that situation, that's why I built yet another timer because a really good one doesn't exist. Key Features: High-Visibility Display: The high-contrast, large-format UI ensures that all active timers can be easily read from across the kitchen at a glance. Touch-less Gesture Control: Keep your workflow sanitary and uninterrupted. Frictionless 1-Click Operation: A single tap is all it takes to start, pause, or stop any timer. Audio Alerts: When a timer finishes and goes into overtime, the system utilizes text-to-speech to read the specific title of the timer (e.g., "Roasted Chicken"). This removes the guesswork from standard, repetitive alarm beeps. Supports 30 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Traditional Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, Dutch, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian Bokmål, Danish, Finnish, Czech, UK English, Canadian French, European Portuguese, Ukrainian, Thai, Malay. (English, 简体中文, 日本語, Deutsch, Français, Español, Español (Latinoamérica), 한국어, Português (Brasil), Italiano, Русский, 繁體中文, हिन्दी, العربية, Türkçe, Nederlands, Indonesia, Tiếng Việt, Polski, Svenska, Norsk bokmål, Dansk, Suomi, Čeština, English (UK), Français (Canada), Português (Portugal), Українська, ไทย, Bahasa Melayu)
