The About-Timer
Timing snacks with a twist!
Free · Designed for iPad
It’s about time! Add suspense, laughs, and random sounds to your microwave routine with The About-Timer—your quirky, punny kitchen sidekick.
Let’s face it: microwaves are mysterious. “One minute” can mean “still frozen” or “lava eruption.”
Introducing The About-Timer—the app that’s truly about time (and about fun, and about snacks, and about not burning your fingers).
Are you tired of microwave timers that just don’t get you? It’s about time you met an app that’s not only about time, but also about fun, food, and a little bit of sass. Introducing The About-Timer—the only timer that’s as unpredictable as your microwave and as punny as your dad.
Why The About-Timer?
Because it’s about time you stopped trusting your microwave’s lies.
Because it’s about time you added some suspense to your snack routine.
Because it’s about time you had a timer that’s as quirky as your leftovers.
Features:
- Legendary Presets: From “Still Icy” to “Thermonuclear,” our presets are about as accurate as your microwave’s promises. Each one is randomly tweaked—because time is just a suggestion.
- Mystery Mode: Want to spice up your life? Hide the countdown and watch the dots go … dot dot dot. It’s about suspense, it’s about drama, it’s about time you lived on the edge.
- Progress Bar: Watch your food’s journey from “about to start” to “about to explode.” It’s about progress, but mostly about anticipation.
- Sound Surprise: Will you get a beep, a sigh, or a yell? It’s about time you found out. (Warning: may cause sudden snack attacks.)
- Background Brilliance: Go ahead, multitask! The About-Timer keeps ticking, even when you’re about to forget you started it.
For Chefs, Snackers, and Anyone About to Eat
Whether you’re about to reheat, about to feast, or about to press that big brown "That's enough!" button, The About-Timer is about to become your new best friend.
