Stop guessing when your steak is done. GrillTime gives you the exact cook time, flip moment, and safe pull temperature for every cut on the grill โ€” so you fire it up, follow the timer, and pull it perfect every single time. Most grilling apps hand you a wall of recipes and leave the timing to luck. GrillTime works the other way around: pick your protein, thickness, and how you like it cooked, and it calculates minutes-per-side and the exact internal temperature to pull at. Timers buzz you to flip at the halfway mark and again the second it's ready โ€” even if you've walked back to the cooler. WHAT YOU GET - Exact cook times dialed in to your cut, thickness, and doneness - Safe USDA internal pull temps you can trust for meat, poultry and fish - Flip alerts at the halfway point so both sides cook evenly - Multiple timers running at once โ€” steak, corn and wings all land hot together - 24 built-in cuts across beef, pork, chicken, seafood, lamb and veggies - Saved cooks and a history log so your go-to dinner is one tap away PERFECT FOR - Weekend grillers who want restaurant-level results at home - Anyone tired of dry chicken or gray, overcooked steak - Cookout hosts juggling several cuts on one grill - New grillers learning heat zones, temps and doneness WHY NOT JUST USE A KITCHEN TIMER? A plain timer doesn't know a thin flank steak cooks faster than a thick ribeye, or that chicken is only safe at 165ยฐF. GrillTime does the math for your specific cut and tells you both when to flip and when to pull โ€” the two things a stopwatch can't. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking โ€” just great food. Your saved cooks and history never leave your phone. FULL ACCESS A GrillTime membership unlocks everything: unlimited side-by-side cook timers, the complete cut-by-cut grilling guide, and saved cooks that stay offline forever. Choose the plan that fits โ€” a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks everything forever. Fire up the grill, pick your cut, and let GrillTime call the flips and the pull. Download it before your next cookout.

About

BBQ Grill Timer

BBQ Grill Timer is a practical command center for relaxed, well-timed grilling. Build a serving-time plan, follow live cooking steps, track doneness targets, and keep multiple timers running while you grill. GRILL PLANNER Choose your dishes and serving time. The app builds a reverse timeline so sides, ribs, brisket, steak, fish, and vegetables are ready together. Live mode lets you check off each step as you cook. DONENESS TEMPERATURES WITH CARRYOVER Browse 70+ meat and fish cuts with target core temperatures by doneness level. BBQ Grill Timer accounts for carryover cooking and shows the pull temperature plus resting time guidance. Always verify food safety with a real thermometer. GRILL TIMES Use fallback timing by food, thickness, and direct or indirect heat when you do not have a thermometer nearby. MULTI-TIMER Run several timers at once for different dishes, zones, or resting periods. EQUIPMENT GUIDE AND COOK LOG Keep notes for your grill sessions and check practical guidance for grills, thermometers, temperatures, zones, and care. COACH TIPS Quick reminders for two-zone setup, lid discipline, resting, order of operations, and better prep. AI-VISION ASSISTANT (Beta) Upload a food photo to receive visual cues such as crust and grill marks. AI-Vision does not detect internal doneness; for poultry, pork, ground meat, and safety-critical cooking, always measure core temperature. BBQ Pro Season is a yearly subscription (12 months) with auto-renewal. You can cancel anytime in App Store account settings.
