GrillTime is not a generic countdown timer. It is a cooking engine for the grill that builds a precise timer for every cut from the things that actually matter: the cut of meat, its thickness, your heat level, and the doneness you want. Pick a cut, set the thickness with a stepper, choose Low, Medium or High heat, and slide the color doneness bar from rare to well-done. GrillTime instantly calculates the total cook time and the exact minute to flip, and shows the internal temperature you are aiming for. While you cook, the timer splits the job into clear phases: sear side A, flip now, sear side B, then rest. Alerts fire with haptics and local notifications that reach you even when your phone is locked, so you never miss the flip. The full-screen timer keeps the screen awake with a giant, easy-to-read countdown. Cooking a whole spread at once? The Cook Board runs several cuts side by side on one grill. Set a Serve At time and GrillTime staggers each cut's start backwards so the steak, the burgers and the chicken all finish together, right on time. GrillTime also keeps a built-in reference of safe internal temperatures for beef, pork, chicken, fish and ground meat, plus a doneness guide, so you can cook with confidence. FEATURES - Timers built from cut, thickness, heat and doneness - Exact flip minute and total cook time, calculated live - Cooking phases: sear A, flip, sear B, rest, with carryover notes - Haptic and local-notification alerts that work when locked - Cook Board multi-timer to run many cuts at once - Serve At planner that staggers starts so everything finishes together - Full-screen timer with keep-awake and a giant countdown - Built-in safe internal temperature table and doneness guide - Save your own custom cut presets - Switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, inches and centimeters - 100% offline: no account, no backend, your data stays on your device Cuts included: steak, burger, chicken, pork, ribs, salmon, shrimp and vegetables. Fire up the grill and nail every steak, burger and rib.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GrillTime at Free against Grillkeeper's $1.99. Grillkeeper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
