TimeFork
Stop juggling timers.
Start Cooking
Paste any recipe. TimeFork turns it into a smart cooking timeline with parallel timers - so everything comes together at the right time.
How It Works
Three steps. Any recipe
Step 1: Paste
Copy a recipe URL or text from anywhere. BBC Good Food, Guardian, your favourite food blog, or just the recipe text itself.
Step 2: Parse
Artifical Intelligence reads the recipe and builds an optimised timeline, detecting which steps can run in parallel.
Step 3: Cook
Follow guided steps with concurrent timers. Get notified when each step needs your attention, even if your phone is locked.

Why TimeFork?
Recipes tell you what to cook. TimeFork tells you when.
Most recipes are written as a wall of text. You read ahead, try to figure out the timing, and inevitably something gets forgotten or overcooked. TimeFork breaks the recipe into a visual sequence — showing exactly when to start each step so everything finishes together.

# TimeFork — Privacy PolicyLast updated: February 2026## OverviewTimeFork is a cooking timer app that turns recipes into step-by-step timelines. We believe in minimal data collection — we only process what's needed to make the app work.## What Data We ProcessRecipe text you submit: When you paste a recipe (text or URL), it is sent to a third-party AI service (Anthropic's Claude API) via our server to parse the recipe into timed steps. This text is processed in real time and is not stored by us.A random device identifier: On first launch, the app generates a random, anonymous identifier. This is used solely to process your recipe requests through our server. It is not linked to your name, Apple ID, or any personal information.Purchase status: If you purchase TimeFork Unlimited, your purchase is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We store only a simple "unlocked" flag on your device. We do not have access to your payment details.That's it. We do not collect, store, or process any other personal data.## What We Don't Do- We do not require you to create an account
- We do not collect your name, email address, or contact details
