Chronos Cooking
Meat, fish & BBQ timers
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Several cuts on the fire? One timer per piece, flip reminders, alerts even when your phone is locked. The dashboard for everything you're cooking.
Chronos Cooking is a dashboard of cooking timers, built to cook several pieces at once without ruining any of them.
Name each timer — ribeye, duck breast, chicken, salmon — start each one independently, and watch everything on a single screen. The compact overview shows all your timers at a glance while you're at the grill.
EVERY TIMER IS COMPLETE
• Countdown timer or stopwatch, your choice
• Audible flip reminder at exactly the right moment — halftime, or an adjustable split for asymmetric cooking (duck breast, skin side longer). After you flip, the timer becomes the countdown for side two, restarted in full even if you flipped late
• Progress bar with a flip marker
• End-of-cooking alert with overrun tracking, ringing until you dismiss it
COOKING TIMES COMPUTED, NOT GUESSED
The built-in calculator suggests a duration and a flip point from cooking charts: meats, fish (salmon, tuna, white fish), shellfish (shrimp, scallops), sausages (merguez, chipolata, Toulouse), your target doneness (blue rare to well done), and your cooker: pan or griddle, gas, charcoal or pellet barbecue, oven. Thickness on the pan or grill, weight in the oven. One-tap visual selection, plus quick presets for common cuts.
ALERTS THAT ACTUALLY RING
Notifications are scheduled in iOS: they ring even when your phone is locked or the app is closed. Times are computed from real timestamps — your timers stay accurate in the background and even survive an app restart.
AI ASSISTANT — ENTIRELY OPTIONAL
If you have an Anthropic API key, describe your cut in plain words ("2 lb rib steak, 1.5 in thick, charcoal grill, rare") and the assistant suggests a duration, a flip point and a tip, added to a timer in one tap. Without a key, the app is 100% functional, offline, with no account and no ads.
No data collected. No account required. Available in English and French.
Food-safety note: suggested times are indicative. For pork (63 °C / 145 °F) and poultry (74 °C / 165 °F), only a core-temperature reading with a thermometer guarantees doneness.
