Great pizza is mostly about timing — and Kneady Pizza does the timing for you. Tell it the style you're making and when you want to eat. It works backwards to a clear, step-by-step plan: when to mix, when it rises, when to shape, and exactly how much flour, water, salt and yeast to weigh — all from proper baker's percentages. NO MORE GUESSWORK • Pick a style — Neapolitan, New York, Roman, Detroit, Sicilian, focaccia and more — and the recipe is seeded for you. • Set your serve time; the app plans the whole rise around it. • Yeast and timings adjust to your kitchen's temperature (fetch it automatically or set it by hand). • Tight on time? It warms the proof and nudges the yeast to fit your window before ever suggesting a quick dough. A PLAN THAT FITS REAL LIFE • Quick, Cold or Warm proof — choose your pace. • Sleep-aware scheduling shifts hands-on steps out of the middle of the night. • "Start baking now" locks your times so they never drift when you reopen the app. • A Currently Cooking banner brings you back to the exact step you're on. COOK FROM YOUR PHONE • Landscape cooking mode: one step per screen, swipe to move on, double-tap to tick it off. • Tap any step to read it full-screen, with a big clock pill for its timing notes. • Each step explains what to do, the kit you'll need, what to watch out for, and the why behind it. FOR THE SERIOUS BAKER • A water temperature (DDT) calculator works out exactly what to mix your water at — with friction presets for hand kneading, a stand mixer or a spiral mixer. • Seven real flour presets — Caputo Pizzeria, King Arthur Bread Flour, All Trumps and more — each nudging hydration to suit. • Every slider now doubles as a typed exact number. • An illustrated poke-test guide appears right on the final proof step: underproofed, ready, or past its best. • Check on a bake from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island — no need to reopen the app to see how much longer the rise has left. • A real, sourced pizza history quiz — 21 questions on where every style actually comes from, with myths clearly flagged as myths. KID MODE — MAKE PIZZA TOGETHER • A big, fun, mess-and-giggles mode for little chefs, with huge fonts, jokes and confetti. • Pick a pizza — Hawaiian, Margherita, Dino Pepperoni and more — or build your own and save it. • Choose the dough: "Right now!" (ready in about 30 minutes) or "Puffy & bouncy". • One giant animated step at a time, in kid words, with a grown-up hand-off for the hot oven. • The chef reacts to what you actually made, and finishing a pizza earns a real sticker for your collection. • A silly six-question pizza trivia round of its own. • Four modes to match your household — Kid, Villager, Pizzaiolo or Roman — from playful to full control. PLAN THE WHOLE NIGHT • Choose classic pizzas — Margherita, Marinara, Diavola, Capricciosa, Prosciutto and more. • Get a scaled shopping list for dough and toppings, with rough cost estimates. MADE TO ENJOY • Two looks: calm Classic or bold Vibrant. • Gluten-free mode with the right hydration and binders. • Friendly tips, facts and the odd terrible pizza joke along the way. Works offline, no account needed. A single discreet banner on the main screen helps support development — never while you're cooking, and never in Kid Mode. Prefer it gone? Remove ads for good with a one-time purchase. Yeast amounts and timings are well-grounded estimates, not laws — trust your dough and adjust to taste. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.3 — 2026-07-29 Keeping Kneady Pizza going: • The app now shows one small banner, and only on the main screen — never while you're cooking a bake, and never in Kid Mode. It helps cover the cost of keeping the app free, offline, and account-free. • New in Settings: a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase that switches the banner off for good, with Restore for your other devices. Everything else is exactly as you left it. Buon appetito! ### 1.2 — 2026-07-08 A big one — new tools for serious bakers, and new reasons for kids to come back: • Live Activity — check on your dough from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, no need to reopen the app. • Water temperature (DDT) calculator — work out exactly what to mix your water at, with presets for hand kneading, a stand mixer or a spiral mixer. • A flour picker — seven real presets (Caputo Pizzeria, King Arthur Bread Flour, All Trumps and more), each nudging hydration to suit. • Every calculator field now accepts a typed exact number, not just a slider. • An illustrated poke-test guide shows up right when you need it, on the final proof step. • A correctness fix: preferment percentage is now capped to what your recipe's own hydration can actually supply, so what you see always matches the real dough. • A pizza history quiz — 21 questions on where every style really comes from, with myths clearly flagged as myths. • Kid Mode: the chef now reacts to what you actually made, there's a real sticker collection to fill up, and a silly pizza trivia round of its own. Also included: Villager mode simplified to always be a Cold Proof with no clock times, focaccia's own instructions and kit list, and a Dark Mode contrast fix in landscape cooking. Buon appetito! ### 1.1 — 2026-07-02 Introducing a revised Splash Screen and Kid Mode — a big, fun, mess-and-giggles way to make pizza together! • Pick a pizza (Hawaiian, Margherita, Dino Pepperoni and more) or build your own and save it. • Choose your dough: "Right now!" (ready in about 30 minutes) or "Puffy & bouncy". • One giant, animated step at a time in kid words — cups and spoons, with grams for grown-ups. • Jokes, confetti and cheering the whole way, with a grown-up hand-off for the hot oven. Also in this update: • A fresh MODE picker — Kid, Villager, Pizzaiolo or Roman — sets how simple or detailed the app feels. • Reminders now only ping once you've actually started baking. • The style picker locks while a bake is underway, so you don't lose your place. • Tap any cooking step to read it full-screen, swipe between steps, and see timing notes in a big clock pill. Buon appetito! ### 1.0 — 2026-06-26 No release notes. ## More apps by David Defranceski - [Fuel Saver](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fuel-saver/id6781846879) - [VEXED!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vexed/id6785740104) - [Sky Warden](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sky-warden/id6789458021) - [ERP Galaxy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/erp-galaxy/id6791550922) All apps by David Defranceski: https://appshunter.io/developer/6781090212 ## Related topics [kneady](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/kneady) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
