Cooking timer — multi-stage recipe timer

Build a sequence of named cooking stages — prep, boil, simmer, rest — and Tickline beeps between each one so you don't have to watch the clock. Choose a preset or build your own recipe, then copy the link to share the exact timing with a friend.

Why stage timers beat one long countdown

Most recipes fail in the handovers — the pan that sat off the heat while something else finished. Splitting a recipe into named stages means each one ends with its own alarm, so you're prompted at exactly the moment the next action is due rather than tracking several clocks at once.

Building a sequence

Work backwards from when the dish should be on the table, name each stage after the action ("sear", "simmer", "rest") and give resting time its own stage — it is the one people skip. Copy the link when you're happy with the sequence: the URL carries the whole recipe timing, so you can reuse or share it.

Single-ingredient timings

For one item, the dedicated pages are faster: eggs, pasta, rice, steak, tea, baking and bread proofing each have presets ready to start.
