Features

Everything you actually need. Nothing you don’t.

Every starter gets its own record

Manage multiple starters at once — feed history, reminders, archives, and care modes for both room-temp and fridge routines.

Log the whole bake, not just the recipe

Timeline, oven details, crumb and crust notes, formula variants, photos, and the tweaks you want to try next time — all in one entry.

Real bread math, not hand-waved

Hydration, scaling, baker’s percentage, starter feeding, and levain — all tied to the formulas you’re actually baking.

Keep a record worth coming back to

Search, compare past bakes, save templates, and back up the whole journal — no more scattered notes or half-finished spreadsheets.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I need to be an advanced baker?

No. It works for experienced bakers, and it helps newer ones get comfortable with terms like hydration, levain, and proofing along the way.

Can it handle multiple starters?

Yes — managing multiple starters is a core feature, not an edge case.
