Cooking three things at once while the oven clock tracks only one? KitchenTime is a kitchen timer built for real cooking: pasta, rice, tea and eggs counting down side by side, each with its own loud alarm. Most timer apps hand you a single countdown. KitchenTime hands you a board: up to 12 timers running at the same time, each with its own name, a big readable countdown and an alert that fires even when your phone is locked or the app is closed. WHAT YOU GET • Dinner where the pasta, the sauce and the roast veg all land together — up to 12 timers running side by side • A soft egg at exactly 6:00 from one tap — 10 kitchen presets covering pasta, rice, eggs, tea, steak rest and proofing dough • Your own “Roast chicken — 45 min” saved once, started in one tap every week after • An alarm that still rings with the screen off, the app closed, or even after your phone restarts • Start all and Pause all for the moment everything hits the stove at once • Countdown digits big enough to read from across the kitchen with wet hands PERFECT FOR • Home cooks juggling three pots and an oven • Parents lining up dinner, homework and bath time • Tea and coffee drinkers steeping more than one cup • Meal preppers batch-cooking a whole Sunday afternoon WHY NOT JUST THE CLOCK APP? The built-in timer runs one countdown and calls it “Timer”. When the rice, the eggs and the tea all need watching, one nameless countdown is how dinner burns. KitchenTime names every timer, runs them all at once, and tells you exactly which one just finished. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Your timers and presets live on your phone and nowhere else. FULL ACCESS KitchenTime requires a Full Access purchase: an auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Full Access opens the entire app — up to 12 simultaneous timers, all 10 kitchen presets, custom timers up to 3 hours, and your own saved presets. Put a name and a countdown on everything you cook — get KitchenTime and run your first full board tonight.

About

Kitchen Timer|Multiple Timers

Features
Read full description

A free kitchen timer app! Run multiple timers at once — a timer made just for the kitchen. Even when simmering, grilling, and steaming overlap, one device keeps track of it all. ■ Time 4 things at once There are always 4 timers. No need to add or remove any. The selected timer is shown in large digits that fill the screen, with the other 3 lined up small below. Tap one below to show it large. The order never changes. Give each timer a name so you can tell at a glance which is which. ■ Big digits you can read from a distance The remaining time uses the full width of the screen, so you can check it from a step or two away from the stove. You can keep the screen on while timing. Turn this on or off in Settings. ■ Adjust the time while it's running Need just a little more? Use the + and − buttons to add or subtract time while the timer is running. No need to reset and start over. Choose from 3 step patterns for + and − (10 min, 1 min, 10 sec, 1 sec, and more). You can also switch to a number pad. Set up to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. ■ Save as many favorite times as you like Save a name and a time together, like "Pasta 8 min." There's no limit on how many you can save. Your top 4 appear on the main screen — just tap to set one. The rest can be picked from the list screen. In the list, drag to reorder and swipe left to delete. Tapping only sets the time; it doesn't start on its own. Check the time, then press Start. ■ Stays quiet in silent mode While your device is in silent mode, the alarm won't sound either. It simply follows your device settings. You can also choose to sound the alarm even in silent mode. This works only while the app is open on screen. You can also use vibration only, with no sound (only while the app is open on screen). ■ Fine-tune how it alerts you ・Choose from 3 alarm sounds ・Adjust the volume and fade-in (works while the app is open on screen) ・Pre-alarm: a heads-up sound 1 minute before the end (off by default) ・Turn feedback for button presses on or off ■ Show your favorite photo Pick one of your own photos to show in a circle at the top of the screen and in the "done" alert. Drag and pinch to adjust the photo's position and size. ■ Even when the app is closed You'll get a notification when time is up. The first time you press Start, the app will ask for permission to send notifications. ■ Pricing All features are free to use. There are no in-app purchases or paid versions. Available in Japanese, English, and Portuguese (Brazil). The language follows your device settings.
