Kitchen Capacity works backward from serving time using the ovens, burners and prep stations you actually have. See start order, resting time and dishes that exceed your waiting preferences. HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE 1. Open Kitchen Capacity from the timer toolbar. Set serving time and independent resource counts. 2. Add dishes or import a saved meal, then confirm each dish’s real resource, duration, rest and waiting preference. Earlier priority gets the latest available slot. 3. Inspect the schedule, save the plan and share a cooking handoff. Tap a dish’s Start button and confirm to start its existing Cookbell timer now. Cooking timers, saved meals, timer sounds and the widget remain available. A planned dish can start an ordinary timer after confirmation. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 20 dishes, three independent ovens, six burners and six prep stations; 50 saved plans. This deterministic schedule is not guaranteed optimal. Each dish uses one independent resource slot; shared oven trays and temperature compatibility are not modeled. Include preheating and changeover time yourself. Waiting preferences do not establish food safety. Plans do not automatically schedule future timers or alerts. iPhone and iPad. No account required.

Knock, listen, choose. Watermelon Maestro uses your iPhone's microphone to analyse the sound of your knock, measuring its pitch and how long it rings, then shows you a sweetness dial and a plain verdict from Skip It to Buy This Melon. Deep and resonant means ripe; high and short usually means unripe. Grounded in published acoustic research, with a five-step illustrated picking guide and seven languages built in. One-time purchase, works offline, no account required.
