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: Meal Timing Planner
Kitchen Capacity works backward from serving time using the ovens, burners and prep stations you actually have. See start order, resting time and dishes that exceed your waiting preferences.
HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE
1. Open Kitchen Capacity from the timer toolbar. Set serving time and independent resource counts.
2. Add dishes or import a saved meal, then confirm each dish’s real resource, duration, rest and waiting preference. Earlier priority gets the latest available slot.
3. Inspect the schedule, save the plan and share a cooking handoff. Tap a dish’s Start button and confirm to start its existing Cookbell timer now.
Cooking timers, saved meals, timer sounds and the widget remain available. A planned dish can start an ordinary timer after confirmation.
WHAT TO KNOW
Up to 20 dishes, three independent ovens, six burners and six prep stations; 50 saved plans. This deterministic schedule is not guaranteed optimal. Each dish uses one independent resource slot; shared oven trays and temperature compatibility are not modeled. Include preheating and changeover time yourself. Waiting preferences do not establish food safety. Plans do not automatically schedule future timers or alerts.
