Truly a Loaf Saver
Some of my loaves were burning. Some of them were raw. The timer is one thing but having internal temp/ambient temp settings and other tools really helps me dial in my oven. Now i’m living my loaf to the fullest. Great app.

What's New in Levain
1.2
June 26, 2026
NEW: Rise Tracker Pull a small jar of dough during bulk and log its height as it rises. Levain shows your live percent rise against a 50–75% target band, so you stop ending bulk by the clock and start ending it by actual fermentation — the most reliable signal that your dough is ready. NEW: Schedule Bakes by Finish Time Plan backward from when you want bread on the table. Pick a "ready by" time and Levain works out exactly when to start mixing — with a live countdown, a notification when it's time to begin, and an automatic transition into the active timeline. Plus polish across the bake flow.
