Cooking Timer: scheduler

Cooking Timer is a simple, free-to-use cooking assistant and meal scheduler that ensures every single item in your meal finishes cooking at the exact same time. No more cold sides, reheated mains, or overcooked veggies!

Designed for both phones and tablets, Cooking Timer is perfect for complex dinners, Sunday roasts, BBQs, and much more.

NEW: Sequential Steps for Single Items
Perfect for air fryers (especially single-basket models)! You can now define sequential steps within a single meal item. Create an item like "Air Fryer Mix" and add steps for each ingredient in the exact order they need to be added or removed.

Why you'll love Cooking Timer:
• Synchronized Finishes: Schedule each part of a meal so everything is hot and ready at once.
• Sequential Workflows: Group multiple steps under a single meal item to cook things in a specific order.
• Total Timer Control: Easily adjust cooking times on the fly by advancing, delaying, or pausing.
• Customizable Alerts: Get clear sound and visual alerts (flashing arrows) when it's time to start the next step.
• Seamless Background Running: Use your device for other things—you'll get lock screen and notification bar alerts when it's time to act.
• Save Your Favourites: Build a personalized library of your go-to meals for quick scheduling.
• More than Cooking: Use it to time and schedule any multi-step project that needs to finish simultaneously.

How it works:
1. Build Your Meal: Add your cooking items, their individual cook times, and optional "start after" (delay) or "finish before" (resting) buffers.
2. Start the Clock: The app automatically orders and counts down every step based on when they need to start.
3. Follow the Prompts: Follow the alerts to add your items. You can view the timer as a standard countdown or as a real-time clock (12/24hr).

Key Features:
• Auto-Pause: Set specific steps to automatically pause the timer when they are due to start—great if you need prep time between stages.
• Flexible Adjustments: Missed a start time? Need a few extra minutes? Effortlessly push back or advance any active timer.
• Safe State Saving: If the app is unexpectedly closed, your active cooking progress is saved. Reopen and pick up exactly where you left off.
• Dark Mode Support: Save battery and protect your eyes in the kitchen with a sleek dark theme.
• Custom Alert Sounds: Choose your preferred alert sound directly from the Settings menu.
