## What is Homebaker?

Perfect your bread baking with Homebaker, the bread baking notes app for home bakers that want to keep track of their bread recipes and baking sessions.

Whether you're just beginning your baking journey or you're a seasoned bread baker, Homebaker offers seamless tools to:

- Perfect your recipes: Create your own bread baking recipes by adding your preferment, dough and non-dough ingredients, as well as detailed recipe steps. Homebaker automatically calculates baker's percentages and hydration. Use recipes as templates to pre-fill your baking sessions. You can also share your recipes with fellow bakers using a public link.
- Log your baking sessions: Record every step of your baking sessions with detailed timings, descriptions, metadata (such as temperatures) and pictures. Review past sessions and refine your techniques for perfect results every time.
- Step by step precision: Never forget to add salt again. Mark baking steps as done to keep track of where you are in a baking session.
- Manage your sourdough starters: log your starter's activity and schedule feeding notifications
- Get notified: Get notified with push notifications when step timers are completed in your baking session or when it's time to check on your sourdough starter.
- Stay synced: With the Pro version (requires paid subscription) – access Homebaker from any device, including desktops, via our web app.

A subscription to Homebaker Pro is optional and can be purchased in-app to unlock the following features:
- Unlimited creation of recipes: In the free version of Homebaker the number of recipes you can create is limited. Upgrade to Pro to create as many recipes as you want, which also can be used as templates for your baking sessions
- Access to the Homebaker web app: Your recipes and sessions get synced with your Homebaker account and can be accessed in the browser via the web app. This makes it easy to manage your baking notes on desktop devices.
