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 — 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 — pasta, rice, tea, a second batch of eggs — 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 — 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 — 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?

Gullegg

Read full description

Soft, medium or hard: pick how you like your egg and Gullegg tells you how long to boil it, then rings when it is done. Choose the doneness, the egg's size and whether it comes from the fridge. Gullegg works out the time and counts down. The countdown stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and the alarm rings even when your iPhone is locked or silenced, so you can leave the kitchen. WHAT YOU GET • Soft, medium and hard boiled eggs • Four sizes, shown in grams, so S, M, L and XL mean the same everywhere • Fridge or room temperature • A countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • A real alarm, not a quiet notification • Light and dark, large text, VoiceOver • No ads, no account, works offline GULLEGG PRO (one-time purchase) • Several eggs in one pot: one soft, two hard? Gullegg tells you when to put each egg in, so they are all done at the same moment • Altitude: water boils cooler in the mountains, so eggs need longer. Set your altitude once • More alarm sounds HOW THE TIME IS WORKED OUT The times come from a published physics formula for how heat travels into an egg, using its weight, its starting temperature and the boiling point of water. Start the timer when the egg goes into boiling water. Stoves, pots and eggs differ, so treat the time as a very good starting point and adjust to taste.
