Master the flame and achieve perfect results every time.

"No confusion, no burning, just perfect rice."

Rice Timer is a specialized timer app designed to support the mindful, luxurious ritual of cooking rice in a pot. While the flavor of rice cooked over an open flame is incomparable, managing the timing—when to lower the heat or how long to let it soak—can be tricky. This app acts as your digital sous-chef, precisely managing the entire process from start to finish.

Whether you are cooking everyday long-grain rice or traditional short-grain Japanese rice, achieve culinary perfection with ease.

◆ An Immersive "Zen & Wa-Modern" Design
The interface is inspired by the textures of traditional Japanese Washi (paper) and Urushi (lacquer). Turn your kitchen into a serene, meditative space where the wait for your meal becomes a moment of calm and richness.

◆ Key Features
Multi-Grain Support: Perfectly calibrated for the fluffy texture of everyday long-grain rice, as well as the sticky, authentic bite of short-grain Japanese rice—perfect for making homemade Onigiri (rice balls) or Sushi. For Japanese rice, the app supports White Rice, No-Wash Rice, Aged Rice, Brown Rice (Genmai), and Germ Rice (Haigamai).

Dual Cooking Methods for long-grain rice
Tailor your long-grain rice to your exact preference with two traditional methods:

Boil & Drain Method (For a light, fluffy, and separate grain texture): Boiling → Cooking ① → Cooking ② → Steaming.

Absorption Method (Same as the traditional Japonica style): Soaking → Boiling → Cooking → Okoge (Crispy) → Steaming.

Auto-Calculation by Volume
Supports 1 to 10 cups. It instantly calculates the exact amount of water needed for your specific rice type and volume.

Seasonal Soaking Presets
Water temperature changes with the seasons. Choose between "Summer" and "Winter" presets for the scientifically optimal soaking time.

Signature "Okoge" (Crispy) Mode
Want that golden, crispy layer at the bottom of the pot? Add a high-heat finish with one tap and control the level of savoriness to your liking.

Precision Multi-Phase Navigation
The app guides you through every critical step (up to 6 phases) from soaking and boiling to the final steaming and completion, ensuring you never miss a heat adjustment.

◆ Built for Reliability
Background Notifications: Receive precise alerts 5 seconds before a phase transition, even if your phone is locked or you’re using another app.

Crash Recovery: Life happens. If the app closes unexpectedly, simply restart it to resume exactly where you left off in the cooking cycle.

Stay-Awake Display: The screen stays on while the timer is active, allowing you to check the remaining time at a glance without touching your phone with messy kitchen hands.

◆ Perfect For:
Stovetop Enthusiasts: Those who prefer the superior flavor of heavy iron pots, clay pots (Donabe), or stainless steel over electric cookers.

Culinary Perfectionists & Health-Conscious Foodies: Anyone who wants to master heat control for the best possible texture while exploring nutritious whole grains like brown rice.

Outdoor & Campers: The perfect companion for Hango (mess tin) cooking over a campfire or portable stove.

Elevate your daily meals with a seamless fusion of Japanese traditional beauty, Zen mindfulness, and modern precision.
