## What is Ferment & Sprout?

Ferment&Sprout keeps track of the living projects in your kitchen: ferments, starters, sprouts and microgreens. Each one has its own timer and rhythm, so you can see at a glance what's on track and what needs a look.

BATCHES
• Timers for kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, hot sauce, kefir, ginger beer and more
• Day counts, time left, and a clear "Check it" when a batch reaches its target time
• Guided checks from built-in recipes, such as when to start tasting
• A check-in log for notes on how each batch is doing
• Optional reminders, set per batch

STARTERS
• Care rhythms for sourdough, ginger bug, milk and water kefir, kombucha SCOBY, vinegar mother and more
• Feeding history and status at a glance
• In the Fridge: rest a starter with a weekly or every-2-weeks check instead of daily reminders
• Built-In Templates: start from a trusted setup and adjust it before saving

SPROUTS & MICROGREENS
• Soak, rinse, blackout and light stages with a harvest window
• Rinse reminders every 12 hours
• A care log of every soak, rinse and move to light

OPTIONAL AI COMPANION
Ask questions about a batch, starter or sprout, and save useful parts of an answer to your notes or recipe. It uses Google Gemini with your own API key. Nothing is sent until you add a key and accept the notice, and you can turn it off in Settings. AI answers can be wrong and can't confirm whether food is safe.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Everything is stored on your iPhone. The only thing that leaves it is what you send to the AI Companion, if you use it.
• Export a backup file whenever you like

Ferment&Sprout gives guidance, not guarantees. Always check your ferments yourself, and when in doubt, throw it out.
