Built for the way you actually bake

Banneton serves both the intuitive baker and the precise one. Track and feed by feel, then reach for the numbers when you want them.

The daily loop, done right

One-tap feed logging, with a clear fed, due, or overdue state for each starter.
Feed without opening the app: a Feed button right on the home-screen widget, or ask Siri.
Gentle reminders on each starter’s own rhythm, with quiet hours so nothing wakes you at 3 AM.
Feed ratios and a built-in feed calculator: keep this much, add this flour and water.
Log the ratio, the temperature, a note, and a photo with any feed.
Moving a starter to the fridge pauses its reminders until you wake it again.
After every feed, an estimate of when the starter will peak, from the ratio and your kitchen temperature.
Premium adds a peak alert with a Lock Screen countdown, a way to mark real peaks so the estimate learns your starter, and a feed-for-a-bake planner that works back from your mix time.
Track multiple starters, each with its own history, feeding-rhythm chart, and streak.
Starting from scratch, or reviving a dried starter? A guided day-by-day plan says what to do, what to expect, and what looks wrong but is fine, with one reminder each morning.
Log how each feed smelled, how far it rose, its bubbles, and any hooch, and the starter’s page tallies the pattern over the last feeds.

A free hydration calculator, plus the full baker’s percentage calculator.
Scale any formula to a dough weight or loaf count.
Plan a poolish, biga, levain, or sponge with the pre-ferment calculator.
Import a recipe from a link or a photo of a page. It is read on your device and never uploaded.
A recipe library of seven tested formulas, from a country loaf to discard crackers, free to read and ready to scale, save, and plan.
A desired-dough-temperature calculator: the water temperature that lands the mix where you want it, from the room, the flour, the levain, and how you mix.
Count the water in eggs, milk, potato, or a tangzhong toward the hydration the dough really has.
Work in grams or ounces, Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Set when you want bread out of the oven, or when you can start, and your dough temperature.
Banneton lays out every stage and adjusts to the temperature. Start from a library recipe and each stage is timed for that bread.
Push the rest of the day back by half an hour or two when life happens. The timers and the Live Activity follow.
Stage timers and a Live Activity that counts down each stage from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
Bake Mode reads each step aloud and keeps the screen awake, for when your hands are in the dough.
Warmer dough ferments faster, and the schedule shows it.

Save each bake with crumb and crust photos, a rating, and notes. The first three bakes are free; Premium keeps every loaf.
A “next time” note that comes back the moment you plan the same recipe again.
A share card with the crust, the crumb, the rating, and the numbers, ready for the group chat.
Insights charts: how your ratings trend, and which hydration and dough temperature your best loaves share.
Track observed rise to dial in your timing.
An experimental on-device crumb reader for a quick read on openness.
A shopping list that totals the flour, water, and salt across every bake you have planned.
Export your feeds and bakes to CSV anytime.

Starter basics, free: start one from scratch, feed it, read it, and bake your first loaf.
Seven tested recipes with a method and tips, in every language the app speaks.
A 16-term glossary, from autolyse to oven spring, with the terms cross-linked.
A troubleshooting library for flat loaves, dense or gummy crumb, sour bread, sticky dough, and a missing ear.
Every symptom and its likely causes are free to read. Premium unlocks the step-by-step fixes.
Search across the basics, the glossary, and the fixes at once.
All of it in English, German, French, and Spanish, and all of it offline.

Feed from your wrist, follow bake stages, and keep your starter’s state on the watch face as a complication.

Home-screen and Lock Screen widgets show who needs feeding, and the Feed button on the widget logs it in one tap.

“Feed my starter”, “check my starters”, “when will my starter peak”, or “what’s my next bake step”, hands in the dough.

One app across both, with a layout that uses the big screen instead of stretching the small one.

English, German, French, and Spanish, from the widgets to the Siri phrases.
