Welcome to MealTime

An Android app to help you time your meals

(This website is under construction)

Summary

The app will give you a list of the timings you need for a meal, based on all the preparation, cooking, and serving steps you provide.

Setting Up Ingredients

  • For each ingredient, enter its name and other details.
  • Also set up items of equipment you need (pots, pans, etc.)

Setting Up a Meal

  • Select the ingredients and equipment for the meal.
  • For each ingredient, specify the amount and enter the preparation steps - the order you carry out the steps, and how long they take.
  • For each item of equipment, enter the times when you add the ingredients.
  • Specify any other cooking and serving steps you need.

Showing the Time Line for a Meal

  • Choose the meal, then enter the time you want to serve it or start preparing it.
  • The app will then show a list of timings, using all the details you've previously entered.

Standard Features


These features are available in all versions of the app.

Fully Functioning Software

Whether using the Free or Pro versions of the app, there are no time limitations, and no ads.

Create as many ingredients, meals, and time lines as you like, and save, amend, and delete them as required.

Customizing the App

You have a variety of settings you can change, to make the app work better for you.

For example: a 24- or 12-hour clock; your own cooking appliances and temperature units/settings; categories for ingredients and meals.

Reducing Timing Conflicts

The app will show you if any of the timings overlap, and can suggest changes to timings to minimize the overlaps.

Being Notified About Progress

As a step becomes due, it is highlighted and you hear a sound notification.

Exporting to Another Device

You can easily transfer your data (ingredients, meals, and time lines) to another device that has the app running on it.

Getting Help

Extensive help is available in all parts of the app.

Two example meals are included, so you can see how all the important features work.

(Coming soon: a user manual and FAQ section will be available on this website.)

Pro Features

The Pro version has a number of extra features to enhance the app.

Ingredient Amounts

The Time Line can automatically include the amount of each ingredient.

Combining Time Lines
