The toolkit
Everything a sourdough baker needs, in one app
No clutter, no gimmicks. The daily job done well, plus the tools to improve every loaf.
Track every feed, never miss one
Log a feed in one tap, in the app, straight from the home-screen widget, or by asking Siri. Each starter shows whether it is fed, due, or overdue, and a gentle reminder brings you back when it is time. Keep a feeding streak going.
Do the baker’s math
Dial in hydration, salt, and starter in baker’s percentages. Scale a formula to any batch or loaf count, and check water for a target hydration in seconds.
Plan your bake day by temperature
Tell Banneton when you want bread out of the oven and how warm your dough is. It works backward through autolyse, bulk, shape, proof, and bake, and adjusts the timing to your kitchen.
Keep a bake journal
Save each bake with photos, a rating, and notes. Insights charts then show how your loaves trend and which hydration and dough temperature your best ones share, so your loaf gets better, not just different.
