Timers

Updated 2026-09-02

In Cook Mode, open the timer control and add one:

  • Pick a quick preset — 3, 5, 10, 15 minutes, or 1 hour — or dial a custom time on the scroll wheel.
  • Give it a label if you want ("rice", "oven").
  • Run up to 10 timers at once. The next one to finish counts down in the top bar.

Timers are manual

ReciLore does not read "simmer for 20 minutes" from a step and start a timer for you. You add every timer yourself.

Controls

Pause and resume, add +30 seconds, snooze +2 minutes when it rings, or cancel.

Alerts

When a timer finishes it plays a sound and buzzes. If you've switched apps or locked the phone, you still get a "Timer done" notification.

  • Do timers alert if I leave the app?
