Keep all your timers in view. From cooking and study to focused work and workouts, MultiTimer brings your timers together on a visual board so you can follow several tasks at once. Set a quick countdown, build an interval workout or alternate focused work with breaks. Give each timer a clear name, color and icon, then see what is running at a glance. TIMERS FOR EVERY ROUTINE Choose countdown, Quick, count-up, Pomodoro and interval timers. Add a stopwatch, counter or clock to the same board. Create interval programs with warm-ups, work periods, rests and repeated groups. CONTROL TIME YOUR WAY Start, pause and reset timers individually. Add or subtract time while a timer is running, set a delayed start or choose when a countdown should end. Use Auto-repeat for recurring countdowns. Open Single View for a closer look at a timer and its current state. KEEP TIMERS WITHIN REACH Check timers with Home Screen widgets, Live Activities and Dynamic Island on supported devices. Use Siri and Shortcuts for supported actions, or follow your timers from the Apple Watch companion app. SHARE A VIEW OF YOUR BOARD Use Web Share to let others view your timer board in a browser.

The functions in detail: - Menu with preset times for quick selection - Individual timer with minutes and seconds - Simple operation, just as it should be in the kitchen - Settings for preset times, alarm sound, duration of the alarm tone and language Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MultiTimer at Free against Kitchen's $2.99. MultiTimer also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Kitchen's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On ads there is nothing between them.
