Multiple timers, one grill

Steaks, chicken, veggies — run a separate timer for every item on the grate and cook the whole feast at once. Premium goes up to 10.

⌚

Timers on your wrist

The new Apple Watch app shows every timer. Start, flip, and reset without touching your phone — a tap on the wrist says when it's time to flip. (Premium)

🌡️

Cook to temperature

Connect a Combustion wireless thermometer and watch the core temp live on the timer card. Set a target and get a heads-up when it's time to pull. (Premium)

🔄

Flip & total cook times

A countdown ring shows time to the next flip at a glance. Add a total cook time and get one alert when the whole cook is done.

📣

Alerts you can't miss

Loud sounds, haptics, and custom sounds cut through the party. Voice announcements name the timer that finished, right in your AirPods.

Built for the backyard

Big numbers you can read in full sun, a compact view for big cookouts, and a fresh glowing-coals look.

Cook to temperature with a Combustion probe

GrillTime Pro connects to the Combustion Predictive Thermometer — live core temp on your timer card, a guided cook, and a pull-now alert. Probe sold separately.

The story

One guy. One Mac. A dream.

Hi, I'm James Farruggia — founder, developer, designer, QA guy, and chief BBQ taste-tester here at Farruggia Creations.

This little studio is powered by one person, a lot of curiosity, and some serious help from today's amazing AI tools. I've always wanted to build software, but never had the time to learn everything the traditional way. Now I'm able to turn ideas into real iOS apps that help everyday people — starting with those who love to barbecue.

"Great food and good company shouldn't require hovering over the grill."

This site will grow as I release new apps — but for now, it's home base for everything I create under the Farruggia Creations name.
