Keetle calculates the exact time from real physics—wattage, water volume, start temperature, and efficiency—then counts it down live so you can walk away and get pinged the second it is ready. The timer follows you everywhere: Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Live Activity, Home Screen widgets, and Control Center. No more hovering over the kettle.

Soft, jammy, or hard — get your eggs exactly right, every single time. Pick how you like your yolk (shown as real egg cross-sections), drop your eggs into boiling water and hit Start. Egg Timer alerts you the second they're done — even if your phone is locked or the app is closed. WHY EGG TIMER • 3 doneness levels, shown visually — pick with your eyes, not with numbers • Smart timing: adjusts to egg size (S–XL) and fridge-cold vs room-temp eggs • An alarm you can trust — fires on time even with the app closed • Live countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • A charming pot that bubbles more as your eggs get closer to done • +1 minute button for extra-firm fans • Built-in pro tip: a 60-second ice bath makes the shell slide right off PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No account. No tracking. No internet needed — everything runs on your device and the app collects zero data. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, meal prep, ramen eggs, egg salads — and everyone who has ever chased "6 minutes" around the kitchen with a phone stopwatch. Made by a solo developer — if Egg Timer nails your eggs, a rating helps more than you know.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Egg Timer at none against Keetle's 3. Egg Timer also leads on iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
