The kitchen timer that actually works.

No Bluetooth. No app. No pairing. Just a dial, a button, and the loudest beep you've ever heard from a timer this small.

Twist to set your time. Press to start. The 90dB alarm cuts through running water, exhaust fans, and closed doors. The neodymium magnet on the back sticks to your fridge through door slams.

Why it's better than your phone:

You can hear it from the backyard
No dead phone = burnt dinner
One-handed operation with flour-covered fingers
Magnetic — always where you need it
Runs 18 months on one AAA battery

The Story Behind Bench Timer

Loud enough to matter

We tuned the alarm to exactly 90dB. Loud enough to hear from the backyard through a closed sliding door. Quiet enough that you don't want to throw it against the wall. We tested 5 different piezo buzzers before finding the one that hit the sweet spot.

Magnetic by design

The neodymium magnet holds 2.5 lbs. That means it stays on your fridge through door slams. We designed the magnet housing so the timer sits flush — no wobble.

No menus, no apps, no BS

Three years of design work to arrive at two controls: one dial, one button. Twist to set. Press to start. Your phone already has a timer app. This is the one you use when your hands are covered in dough.

Bought one for baking. Now I have 3 around the house. One in the kitchen, one in my office (Pomodoro), one camping.

Simple and built well. The magnet is strong enough to hold on the side of my stainless steel fridge. Loud — that's the point.
