So you have a slew of dishes baking, boiling, and simmering simultaneously. You need a way to track those cooking times—and it’s got be fail-safe.

Enter MultiTimer.

The app puts six easy-to-read timers on your screen at once, and its simple controls seem tailor-made for harried cooks with nine out of 10 fingers slathered in grease.

Tap to start a timer. Tap again to pause. If you want to restart, tap and hold.

To avoid culinary chaos, program all of your timers in advance. The app lets you assign each a name as well as a unique icon and color for better visibility across the kitchen.

When a timer is complete, it keeps tracking the time elapsed so you’ll know if that pie has been overbaking for 5 minutes or 15.

The most brilliant touch: MultiTimer warns you if your phone’s volume is set low. No need to worry about not hearing the ding over the clatter of your very busy kitchen.
