Gude Timer - Good Eggs, Gude Time

A dedicated egg timer for your Garmin watch with presets based on egg size, storage temperature, and cooking method.

Features:
Choose your egg size (S, M, L, XL) for accurate timing
Room temp or straight from the fridge? The timer adjusts automatically (+60 seconds for cold eggs)
Two cooking methods: cold water start or boiling water start
Three doneness levels: soft, medium, or hard yolk
Visual countdown with color-coded progress ring
Vibration alerts at the start, every full minute, and when done
Quick access to your last-used settings

How it works:
Pick your egg size, storage temp, cooking method, and preferred doneness. The timer calculates the cooking time and guides you through. For cold water starts, you'll get a prompt to begin timing once the water boils. For boiling water, just drop the eggs in and hit start.

Cold Start vs. Boiling Water Start:

Cold Start:
Place eggs in cold water, then bring to a boil
Gentler cooking method that reduces cracking
Eggs heat gradually with the water
Better for peeling as the gradual temperature change prevents the egg white from bonding tightly to the shell
Timing starts when water reaches a boil
Ideally use a small pot (like 16cm diameter). Water level should just cover the egg

Boiling Water Start:
Add eggs to already boiling water
More precise control over doneness
Whites set faster, creating a firmer texture
Yolks cook more evenly
Timing starts immediately when eggs enter the water
Ideally use a small pot (like 16cm diameter). Water level should just cover the egg

Last Used:
The app remembers your preferences, so repeat cooking is just one tap away.
