A Kitchen Timer You
Never Have to Touch.
Hands-Free Kitchen Timer is a free, voice-controlled multi-timer built for real cooking — wet hands, full hands, and more than one pot going at once.
No download. Open it on any tablet or phone browser and start cooking.
01Why a hands-free kitchen timer?
A regular phone timer works fine for one pot, at a desk, with dry hands. A real kitchen isn’t that.
Your hands are wet, floury, or covered in oil — the last thing you want to touch is a screen.
Several things are cooking at once, and a single built-in timer can’t keep up.
You keep walking over just to check “how much longer” on something that’s still running.
You set the same times over and over — 3 minutes for this, 8 for that — every single day.
02Voice commands, not button-tapping
Every command starts with a spoken wake word so it won’t trigger by accident over kitchen noise.
| Say this | What happens |
|---|---|
| NEW 「タイマー、パスタ5分、ラーメン10分」Timer, pasta 5 min, ramen 10 min |
Adds two or more timers at once and starts them together |
| NEW 「タイマー、ラーメンあと何分？」Timer, how much time on ramen? |
Speaks back the exact time remaining on that timer |
| 「タイマー、そば、5分」Timer, soba, 5 minutes | Adds one new timer and starts it immediately |
| 「タイマー、ストップ」Timer, stop | Silences every alarm that’s currently ringing, all at once |
| 「タイマー、うどん、ポーズ」Timer, udon, pause | Pauses one specific timer by name |
| 「タイマー、素麺、リセット」Timer, somen, reset | Resets one specific timer back to its original time |
Voice commands run on Japanese speech recognition — you speak the wake word and commands in Japanese, but timer names can be absolutely anything: pasta, udon, dumplings, toast, whatever’s on your stove.
03What makes it different from a normal timer app
Add several timers with one sentence
Name and time, side by side, in a single breath — every timer starts together.
Ask how much time is left
No walking over to check the screen — just ask, and it answers out loud.
One-tap favorites
Star a name-and-time combination once, then call it back with a single tap next time.
Stop every alarm with one word
When several timers ring together, one command silences all of them at once.
Custom spoken alerts, per timer
Instead of a generic beep, each timer can announce exactly what it’s for.
Unlimited timers, landscape layout
Add as many as your stovetop needs, laid out for a tablet propped up on the counter.

Hit “Reset” to run the same timer again from the top.
Made by a working kitchen
Jikaseimen Kirinji is a ramen restaurant in Sendai, Japan, specializing in aburakasu (fried beef offal) ramen — the only shop of its kind in the Tohoku region, running for about 20 years.
Hands-Free Kitchen Timer was built to solve a problem this kitchen actually had, then made free for anyone else who needs it.
