What is CookIt? (cook – it)
CookIt is a cooking countdown application designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch which allows a user to time a cooked meal to perfection!
You start by entering each of the items you wish to cook, along with their cooking time. The application will then work out when each item is due to be started. A timer and notification system makes sure you are keeping track with the schedule.
Watch it in action
Features
- Works out total cooking time
- countdown until the meal is ready
- countdown for individual items (when they need to be cooked)
- alarm and vibrate alerts 1 minute before item is due to start
- countdown continues and items are saved if you exit the app (so if you get a phone call or put the device to sleep, when you return to the app, the countdown will still be running.

Just received the updated 1.1 version – loving that you can change the sounds now for alarms. I didn’t like the original one – too high pitched! thanks for a great app!!
Great App! Really helpful
I really needed an app like this. I have just purchased it and it crashes as soon as I press ‘Add item’. It does this all the time, I cannot use it. I am using an iPod touch with the latest software release. I want to contact you direct as I do not want to leave negative feedback on the iTunes store until I hear from you.
Hi Nick. I’ve replied to your email. Just in case you don’t get it though – what version are you running? 3.1.3? Thanks for getting in touch.
Finally, an app that let’s you schedule your various dishes. Nice interface, easy to use. Good job!
My only comment is that if you happen to miss starting one dish on time, it would be helpful to pause that particular timer without affecting the previous timers. This would delay the “ready in” overall timer, but would prevent your dishes in progress from burning. I’m a pretty disorganized cook.
Thanks for a great app! I was beginning to think no developers saw the obvious need for this.
Hi Cathy. Thanks for the comments. I’ll have a think about how I can delay an item. There’s a new version coming out soon so it’ll have to be a release after that if possible!
Cheers,
Matt
GREAT APP! Congrats!
Only suggestion is if it is possible to change the default 1 min reminder as some dishes may take longer to get ready.
Good luck!
Thanks BigLouis! Good idea… I’ll see if I can get this in to V2 which is out soon
Will your new version sound alarms in multitasking mode?
Am now using recipe apps and having multitasking will be a great advantage.
Also looking forward to the other features you mention. Brilliant app by the way.
App not working now. No new updates/comments. I guess app abandoned?
@Tony – sorry. It’s not abandoned.. I’m just struggling for time at the moment!! I have written this in my spare time and at the moment, don’t have any! I’ll try to push an update for OS4 soon… my first born is on her way in 6 weeks, so I’ll have to do it sooner rather than later!!
Hi Matt
Phew! Glad your still there.
I understand fully about available time and will look forward to the update as this is such a great concept.
Wow, your first born. Takes me back a few years. I know it will be a wonderful time, especially when you hear the first scream.
All the best, Tony
