One timer. Every dish.

Set one main timer for the whole meal. Then add labeled reminders along the way, each one set “in X minutes”:

  • Cake — in 35
  • Flip the chicken — in 20
  • Pull the cookies — in 12

The main timer keeps running while each reminder comes due, so you always know what’s next and how long the whole meal has left.

Built by a chef who cooks at home now.

I trained at the French Culinary Institute and cooked in New York kitchens, where the hard part is never one dish. It's cooking a dozen things at once and landing every element at the same moment. I haven't cooked professionally in years, so I built 1 Minute More to be the timer I wanted at home: one clock for the whole meal, with labeled reminders for everything along the way. The numbers are huge and the alerts are loud, because a kitchen is hot, busy, and noisy. No ads, no tracking. Just a timer I'd trust on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any day of the year.

I already paid. Do I pay again?

No. Anyone who bought the app before it went free is unlocked automatically.

Does it alert when my phone is locked?

Yes. When your phone is locked, each reminder and the end of the timer arrive as a notification with the sound you picked, as long as notifications are on for 1 Minute More. In Silent mode, iOS plays them as vibrations instead, and during a Focus, add 1 Minute More to your allowed apps. If you wear an Apple Watch, it taps your wrist too.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. 1 Minute More runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The Apple Watch app is an optional synced remote (start, pause, reset) included with Lifetime Unlock.
