You typed "egg timer" because there's a pot on the stove right now. Pick your yolk β€” Runny, Soft, Jammy, Medium or Hard β€” press Start, and BoilEgg pings you the moment your eggs are ready. No grey-ringed yolks, no watery whites, no cutting one open "just to check." Most egg timers hand you one fixed number and hope your kitchen matches it. BoilEgg starts from proven times, then adjusts for egg size and a cold-water start β€” and when a cook lands too soft or too firm, you nudge the preset once and your corrected time sticks from then on. It even runs a mixed pot: jammy for your ramen, hard for the lunchboxes, everything finishing together. WHAT YOU GET β€’ Five donenesses, one tap β€” a runny yolk for dipping, a jammy custard centre for ramen, or a hard egg for salads, each with its own dialed-in time β€’ Mixed-batch scheduling: pick several donenesses and BoilEgg tells you exactly when to drop each egg so they all come out at once β€’ Size and start aware: a small egg into boiling water and a large one from a cold pot get different clocks, automatically β€’ An alert the second time is up β€” plus a drop reminder for every staggered egg β€” even with your phone locked β€’ Taste, then tune: rate each cook "too soft," "perfect" or "too firm," and History shows exactly which way to move your next 30 seconds β€’ A five-minute cooling timer to stop carry-over cooking, and a plain-language food-safety guide based on USDA guidance PERFECT FOR β€’ Ramen cooks chasing that exact jammy, custardy centre β€’ Parents boiling soft for one kid and hard for the other in a single pot β€’ Meal preppers hard-boiling a dozen eggs without overcooked green rings β€’ Anyone who changed stove, town or altitude and suddenly "6 minutes" stopped working WHY NOT JUST USE THE CLOCK APP? A bare countdown doesn't know your eggs came straight from the fridge, doesn't add time for a cold-water start, can't stagger a mixed batch so it finishes together, and forgets everything the moment it rings. BoilEgg keeps the time you've tuned to your own kitchen. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your timings, history and kitchen profiles stay on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. FULL ACCESS BoilEgg Pro unlocks your complete cook history β€” every egg, every setting, every rating β€” and unlimited kitchen profiles, so a second home, a holiday rental or a high-altitude cabin each keep their own calibrated times. Choose the Weekly or Yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Put the pot on, pick your yolk, and press Start β€” make tonight's egg the last one you second-guess.

Cook eggs exactly the way you like them with eggyβ€”the cute egg timer that turns guesswork into a simple routine and delicious results. Whether you want a runny yolk, a soft center or a firm hard-boiled egg, eggy helps you find the right cooking time for every egg. Not every egg is the same. That is why eggy calculates your boiling time from the egg size, its starting temperature and your preferred doneness. Pick S, M, L or XL, or enter the exact weight for a more personal countdown. Choose metric or imperial measurements for weight and temperature. WHY YOU’LL LOVE EGGY β€’ Smart boiled egg timer: get a calculated cooking time for your settings, not a generic countdown. β€’ Three clear results: choose liquid, soft or hard for breakfast, toast, salads and snacks. β€’ Starting temperature: account for an egg straight from the fridge or one closer to room temperature. β€’ Flexible sizing: use standard carton sizes or enter the egg’s actual weight. β€’ Easy cooking guide: follow six friendly steps from boiling the water to the cold-water finish. β€’ Ready alarm: get alerted when time is up, so you can prepare the rest of breakfast without watching the clock. β€’ Live Activity: keep the remaining time visible at a glance on supported system surfaces. β€’ Home Screen widgets: see your egg timer quickly and start again with less fuss. β€’ Apple Watch app: choose your settings and start a timer right from your wrist. β€’ Siri and Shortcuts: start an egg timer using your latest settings through a system action. β€’ Cute by design: warm colors, cheerful egg artwork and a clear interface make cooking feel lighter. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the size printed on the carton, or enter the exact egg weight. 2. Set the egg’s starting temperature. 3. Select the texture you want: liquid, soft or hard. 4. Carefully lower the egg into boiling water and tap Start. 5. When the alarm sounds, move the egg to cold water to stop it cooking. From soft-boiled eggs for toast to firm eggs for salads, meal prep and lunch boxes, eggy is a focused kitchen assistant you can rely on. There are no boiling-time charts to memorize and no kitchen clock to watch. Set your preferences, let eggy calculate the countdown and get on with your morning. Some features, including custom egg sizes, widgets and the Apple Watch app, require Eggy Golden. Actual cooking time can vary with your stove, altitude and water temperature, so adjust your preferences to suit your kitchen. Download eggy and make the perfect breakfast egg easy, reliable and wonderfully cute.
