As many timers as your stove has burners, each with its own name. It buzzes when it's time to flip the steak, and starts every timer for a whole meal with one tap.
Try it first, decide later. Suggested $4.99, or whatever you think it's worth.

The timer on your stove does one thing at a time. Real cooking doesn't. Kitchen Timer runs the rice, the roast and the garlic bread side by side, each with its own name, so when something buzzes you know exactly what to grab.
Start as many as you need and give each a name, like “pasta” or “oven”. Start them one by one or all together.
Set it to buzz every 4 minutes for 2, 3 or 4 sides, or a different time per flip: steak 2 · 4 · 4, a quick sear 2 · 2.
Save the timers you use again and again, and start them with one tap next time.
Group presets into a meal, like Sunday roast, and load it to start every timer for that dinner at once.
Finished and stopped timers are listed afterwards, so you can see what ran and for how long.
Lock-screen alerts keep working while your phone sleeps on the counter. A built-in test alarm lets you check it first.
Link ChatGPT or Claude and let it set, change and start your timers for you.
Send the app, or a link from another cook, and open it straight into your kitchen.
Kitchen Timer has no trial, no license key and no nag screens. Open it and use it. If it earns a spot in your kitchen, chip in whatever you think it's worth. $4.99 is the suggestion and the range most people pick is $2 to $10, but you set the price.
The suggested amount, for a year of dinners that land on time. Thank you!
Pay $4.99 with VenmoTap the button and Venmo opens with your amount and “Kitchen Timer” already filled in (you can still change it). Or scan the code with your phone camera and pay @FredrikHWinsnes. Paying nothing is fine too.
Yes. There is no trial and no locked feature. $4.99 is the suggested contribution, but any amount, including nothing, is welcome.
Yes, it uses lock-screen alerts. To be sure on your phone, open the menu, then Advanced › Diagnostics › Test alarm in 60s, lock the phone, and listen for it a minute later. Check your alarm volume isn't at zero.
Both. It runs in the browser on any phone and can be added to your home screen. There is also an Android app; the app tells you when a newer version is available.
You add Kitchen Timer as a connector in your AI assistant and confirm with a code. The assistant can then read and change your timers, presets and meals, so you can say “start a 12-minute pasta timer” with your hands full.
Optionally, anonymous usage counts and error reports, to make the app better. Never your timer names or anything you type, and you can switch it off in the app under Advanced.
Use Help & feedback in the app's menu to send feedback, report a bug, or record your screen while you explain the problem. You can also use “Suggest an idea” at the bottom of this page.
No. You get the same app as everyone else, plus our gratitude. Contributions fund new features.
Open Kitchen Timer and set up tonight's dinner. If it earns its place, name your price. If you have feedback or ideas, we would like to hear them.
