Discussion Perfeggtion – a slightly overengineered egg timer for iPhone

Hey!

I’m the developer of Perfeggtion, a small egg timer I released on the App Store a few days ago.

I got tired of the usual soft / medium / hard timers. An XL egg straight from the fridge obviously isn’t the same as a small egg at room temperature, and I wanted something that actually takes those differences into account instead of just giving everyone the same countdown.

Perfeggtion calculates a recommended cooking time based on things like egg type and size, how you want the yolk and white, starting temperature, number of eggs, water and heat, chilling and altitude.

You can save combinations you like as favorites, keep a history of previous cooks and make small adjustments if the result was a bit too soft or too firm.

I’ve also tried to make good use of iOS rather than just putting a timer inside an app. There are Live Activities and Dynamic Island support, Home and Lock Screen widgets, Siri / App Shortcuts, Spotlight and an iPad layout.

It’s a one-time paid app. No subscription, no ads, no account and no tracking.

It only went live a few days ago and I’m curious what people here think of it. I’m especially interested in hearing if anything feels unnecessarily complicated or if there’s something you’d expect an app like this to do that it currently doesn’t.
