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, schedule-based reminders so you never forget a feed.
- Feed ratios and a built-in feed calculator: keep this much, add this flour and water.
- Track multiple starters, each with its own history, feeding-rhythm chart, and streak.
Baker’s math, by the numbers
- 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.
- Save formulas as reusable recipes.
A bake day that fits your kitchen
- Set when you want bread out of the oven and your dough temperature.
- Banneton works backward through every stage and adjusts to the temperature.
- Stage timers and a Live Activity that counts down each stage from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
- Warmer dough ferments faster, and the schedule shows it.
A journal that makes you better
- Save each bake with crumb and crust photos, a rating, and notes.
- 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.
- Export your feeds and bakes to CSV anytime.
Apple Watch
Feed from your wrist, follow bake stages, and keep your starter’s state on the watch face as a complication.
Widgets that work
Home-screen and Lock Screen widgets show who needs feeding, and the Feed button on the widget logs it in one tap.
Siri and Shortcuts
“Feed my starter”, “check my starters”, or “what’s my next bake step”, hands in the dough.
iPhone and iPad
One app across both, with a layout that uses the big screen instead of stretching the small one.
In your language
English, German, French, and Spanish, from the widgets to the Siri phrases.
