Dinner is rarely one thing. The eggs need six minutes, the pasta nine, the tea is steeping, and the bread is in the oven — and a single timer makes you pick one. Cookbell is a kitchen timer that runs as many countdowns as you need at once, each as a large card with its own name, a progress ring, the time left, and the clock time it will finish.
When a timer ends it tells you even if the phone is locked, and each one can carry a different alarm tone from a set of eight, so you know by ear which dish is ready. Presets start common cooks in a tap — eggs, pasta, rice, several teas, bread, a steak rest — or you build your own with hour, minute, and second wheels, a color, an icon, and a tone, then save it for next time.
Past the timers there is a cooking guide with safe temperatures and doneness cues, a stopwatch count-up mode, an automatic history of completed timers, and meal presets that launch a whole set — a Sunday roast, a ramen night — together, with a serve-time board that staggers the shorter items so everything lands at once.
Cookbell runs entirely on your device. No account, no network, no analytics, no tracking — your timers are yours.
About Cookbell
Cookbell is the timer you reach for when one countdown isn't enough.
Dinner is never just one thing. The eggs need six minutes, the pasta nine, the tea is steeping, and the bread is in the oven. A single timer makes you choose. Cookbell runs them all — and now it runs them on your Lock Screen.
