Not just recipes.
It learns from your baking.

📅

Bake Scheduler

Tell it when you want fresh bread and when you're asleep or at work. It plans backward, adjusting feed ratio and cold retard so every hands-on step lands while you're awake. Reminders arrive even when the app is closed — and each one tells you what to do, not just which step it is.

Personal
📊

Insights

Log eight bakes and Insights opens up: the hydration and bulk time your best loaves share, how your starter's vigour is trending, whether your kitchen has warmed or cooled with the season, and when you changed too many variables at once to learn anything from a loaf.

Diagnostic
🔍

Troubleshooting

Dense crumb? Gummy texture? Flat loaf? Air tunnels? Pale crust? Too sour? Eleven common problems, each diagnosed against your own logged hydration, dough temperature, bulk time, and last feeding — not generic advice. It rules causes out as well as in.

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

Built for real bakers. Every feature designed to help you bake better bread, track your progress, and perfect your craft.

Step-by-Step Guides

Complete 6-day starter creation guide and full baking walkthrough — from autolyse to final bake. Visual cues on every step tell you when to move on. Tap a step to have it read aloud (text-to-speech) when your hands are covered in dough, and tap unfamiliar terms for a plain-English definition.

🗣️

Text-to-Speech

Tap any guide step to hear it read aloud. Hands-free baking — no need to touch your phone with doughy fingers.

📐

Recipe Builder

Build bread recipes the way professionals do — using baker's percentages. Flour is 100%; water, salt and starter are ratios. Scale by number of loaves or target dough weight. Enriched doughs too — eggs, butter, milk, honey, oil and tangzhong scald all count toward true hydration, so your baker's math stays honest.

📓

Bake Journal

Log every bake with photos, star ratings, hydration, bulk time, cold proof, oven temp, and tasting notes. Your journal becomes your personal sourdough reference.

🎴

Shareable Bake Cards

Turn any journal entry into a beautiful bake card and share it to WhatsApp, Instagram, or anywhere. Show off your crumb shots with style.

🧫

Multiple Starters

Keep more than one sourdough starter. Record every feeding with ratio, peak rise, time to peak, temperature and flour type. Watch each starter develop over time with peak rise history charts.

6 Calculators
🧮

Calculators for Every Stage

Hydration calculator, DDT calculator, starter feeding calculator (any ratio including stiff starters), bulk fermentation calculator with aliquot jar method (temperature-aware rise targets), flour blend calculator with 14 flours, and kitchen unit converter. Every calculation a sourdough baker needs.

🌾

Flour Reference

Browse 14 flours with protein content, absorption rates, and blending notes. Blend multiple flours and instantly see the resulting protein and recommended hydration.

⏱️

Bake Timers

Multi-stage timers for bulk fermentation, proofing, and baking. Alarms survive the app closing. Bake Mode keeps the screen on while your hands are busy.

📸

"Great app for both new and advanced sourdough bakers. Brilliant guides as well as options to log your bakes and starters. The app is really great, but the customer service is the cherry on top. Very responsive and happy to help. I will be recommending this app to everyone I gift my starter to."
