Ever cut into a boiled egg and found the yolk chalky when you wanted it runny? Egg Timer takes the guessing out of the pot. Tell it the egg size, how done you want it, and whether the eggs came straight from the fridge β€” it sets the exact cook time so the yolk lands where you love it, every single time. Most timers just count down a number you had to guess. Egg Timer calculates the number for you from real boiling science, then keeps going long after the eggs are in: run several kitchen timers at once β€” pasta, rice, tea, a second batch of eggs β€” each one labelled and counting down together, with a warm chime the moment any of them is ready. WHAT YOU GET - Exact boil times dialed in by egg size, doneness, and fridge-cold or room-temp start - Soft, jammy-medium, or firm hard-boiled results without the trial and error - Several labelled kitchen timers running at the same time for a whole meal - A gentle done-chime plus haptic buzz, even while the app is in the background - Your own custom presets saved for the eggs and dishes you cook most - A full cook guide covering egg science, sizing, food safety, and mess-free peeling PERFECT FOR - Home cooks who want the same great egg every morning - Ramen and salad fans chasing that perfect jammy center - Meal-preppers boiling batches for the week ahead - Anyone juggling eggs, pasta, and tea on the stove at once WHY NOT JUST USE A PLAIN TIMER? A plain timer makes you remember the minutes and guess when the eggs are cold or extra-large. Egg Timer works out the right time for your exact conditions, saves your go-to setups, and tracks a whole meal instead of one lonely countdown. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking β€” just great eggs. FULL ACCESS A single unlock opens everything: unlimited concurrent timers, the complete egg chart and cook guide, and unlimited custom presets. Choose the plan that fits you β€” a low-commitment weekly, a best-value yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks the app forever with no renewals. Set your first egg now and taste the difference a precise timer makes. Terms of Use (EULA): https://web-levi.web.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://web-levi.web.app/privacy-policy Questions?
