RoastBack: Meal Time Planner

Plan dinner like a chef: pick when you want to eat, and we work backwards through 5 stages — preheat, cook, rest, carve, serve. Live Activity keeps you on time.

Tell us when you want to eat. We'll tell you when to start.

Most cooking timers ask "how long?" — Roast Back asks "when do you want to eat?" and works the schedule out backwards from your meal time.

Pick your meat, weight, and the time you want to sit down. Get a five-stage plan:

1. Preheat the oven
2. Put it in
3. Take it out to rest
4. Carve
5. Serve

While it cooks, a Live Activity on your lock screen and Dynamic Island counts down to every step. Get a reminder when each one arrives — no juggling kitchen timers, no "wait, did I start it yet?", no missed step because you got pulled into a conversation.

What's in the box

• Seven meats: chicken, turkey, duck, beef, lamb, pork, venison • Doneness levels for red meats (rare → well done) • Edit any time per meat if you cook from a favourite recipe • Built-in reference for safe internal core temperatures • Calendar / Reminders / Notification integration — pick what fits your kitchen • Designed for iOS 18+ with Liquid Glass icon and Live Activities

A note on food safety

We always recommend using a meat thermometer and following food safety guidance. The internal-temperature reference inside the app is there for that exact reason — open it any time from the home screen.

No ads. No tracking. Just a tool to help you put a roast on the table on time.
