Kitchen Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Six pots, three pans and a roast in the oven, and one phone timer that only counts one thing. Brioche runs every kitchen timer you need side by side, each one named, color-coded and announced out loud the moment it is up. Most timer apps give you a number counting down. Brioche gives you a kitchen that talks: when the eggs are done it says "Soft Eggs is ready", when the pasta is done it says so by name, and if your phone is across the room a notification still rings so nothing boils over. Recipes with several steps become one tap that starts every timer at once. WHAT YOU GET ⢠Run as many timers as your stove has burners, each with its own name, color and emoji so you never wonder which one just went off ⢠Hear each timer called out by name through the on-device voice, hands still in the dough ⢠Get a notification with the dish name when the app is in the background, so a walk to the pantry never burns dinner ⢠Turn a recipe into a one-tap start: Boil water plus Cook pasta, Sear side 1 plus Flip, all timers fired together ⢠Start from eight ready-made presets for pasta, eggs, French press, oolong and green tea, steak and rice, or build and edit your own ⢠See every finished cook in History with total cooks, total time and your most cooked dish, so your prep rhythm gets tighter every week PERFECT FOR ⢠Weeknight dinners where the sauce, the pasta and the vegetables all finish within minutes of each other ⢠Sunday meal prep with a roast, grains and a tray of eggs running at the same time ⢠Tea and coffee steeping timed to the second, every morning, without touching the phone ⢠Home bakers juggling proof, bake and rest stages across several batches WHY NOT JUST THE CLOCK APP? The built-in timer is fine for one pot. The moment you have two, you lose track of which alarm is which and have to walk to the phone to find out. Brioche labels every timer, tells you the name out loud, and keeps the whole board on one screen with progress rings you can read from across the counter. Edit a running timer, pause one burner without touching the others, and reset in a tap. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your recipes, presets and cook history stay on this iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, no ads, no analytics. Voice announcements are generated on the device, and Brioche works fully offline. FULL ACCESS Brioche requires a subscription or a one-time purchase after onboarding. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them at any time in your App Store account settings. The exact price for your country is shown in the app before you confirm. Tap the Pasta preset tonight and let Brioche tell you when both the water and the noodles are done.
