Kitchen Timer|Multiple Timers
Read full descriptionHide full description
A free kitchen timer app! Run multiple timers at once — a timer made just for the kitchen. Even when simmering, grilling, and steaming overlap, one device keeps track of it all. ■ Time 4 things at once There are always 4 timers. No need to add or remove any. The selected timer is shown in large digits that fill the screen, with the other 3 lined up small below. Tap one below to show it large. The order never changes. Give each timer a name so you can tell at a glance which is which. ■ Big digits you can read from a distance The remaining time uses the full width of the screen, so you can check it from a step or two away from the stove. You can keep the screen on while timing. Turn this on or off in Settings. ■ Adjust the time while it's running Need just a little more? Use the + and − buttons to add or subtract time while the timer is running. No need to reset and start over. Choose from 3 step patterns for + and − (10 min, 1 min, 10 sec, 1 sec, and more). You can also switch to a number pad. Set up to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. ■ Save as many favorite times as you like Save a name and a time together, like "Pasta 8 min." There's no limit on how many you can save. Your top 4 appear on the main screen — just tap to set one. The rest can be picked from the list screen. In the list, drag to reorder and swipe left to delete. Tapping only sets the time; it doesn't start on its own. Check the time, then press Start. ■ Stays quiet in silent mode While your device is in silent mode, the alarm won't sound either. It simply follows your device settings. You can also choose to sound the alarm even in silent mode. This works only while the app is open on screen. You can also use vibration only, with no sound (only while the app is open on screen). ■ Fine-tune how it alerts you ・Choose from 3 alarm sounds ・Adjust the volume and fade-in (works while the app is open on screen) ・Pre-alarm: a heads-up sound 1 minute before the end (off by default) ・Turn feedback for button presses on or off ■ Show your favorite photo Pick one of your own photos to show in a circle at the top of the screen and in the "done" alert. Drag and pinch to adjust the photo's position and size. ■ Even when the app is closed You'll get a notification when time is up. The first time you press Start, the app will ask for permission to send notifications. ■ Pricing All features are free to use. There are no in-app purchases or paid versions. Available in Japanese, English, and Portuguese (Brazil). The language follows your device settings.
