What you can do

Timers that keep time

Run as many timers as you need, each with a name, an ETA and a sound you choose. Add or take off time with one tap. They still ring if you close the app or restart the phone.

Custom timers

Boil for 30 minutes, bake for an hour, rest for 15: one custom timer runs a whole recipe, with a note and a sound for each step and an ETA for every one.

Recipe scaler

Paste your ingredients and say how many you are feeding. Fractions, eggs and whole items are handled, salt and spices can be scaled gently, and you can show the result in metric or US measures.

Converter

Volume, weight, temperature and length, with US, UK and other regional cups. Pick an ingredient to turn cups into grams, and keep your recent conversions.

How much to buy

A recipe needs 7 cups of milk and it comes in quarts. The app says buy 2 quarts and tells you what is left over.

Baker's calculator

Baker's percentages, scaling a formula by pieces, flour or total dough, pre-ferments, gluten-free mode, yeast conversion, water temperature and pan size.

Built-in Help

Every screen has a Help item in its menu that opens the right section. The same text is on the How-To page.

Your data stays yours

No account, no ads, no tracking and no internet permission. Everything is stored on your device.
