## What is proofit?

Your sourdough deserves better than a notes app.

proofit is the baking companion that helps you track your starter, plan your bakes, and actually remember what worked last time. Whether you're feeding your first starter or baking your hundredth loaf - proofit keeps everything in one place.

STARTER TRACKING
Log feedings, monitor readiness, and know exactly when your starter is at peak activity. Quick feed for maintenance days, live sessions with peak tracking when it matters. Smart reminders that adapt to your schedule and storage method.

GUIDED BAKING
Set when you want your bread done, and proofit plans every step backwards - taking your kitchen temperature into account. Follow along with timers, notifications, and timed oven actions like releasing steam or removing the lid. Dough running fast or slow? Adjust the temperature and your whole schedule updates live.

REMEMBER WHAT WORKED
Add photos and notes as you bake - they show up at the same step next time, so your third attempt learns from your first two. Rate finished loaves and build a history of what actually worked.

RECIPE IMPORT
Snap a photo, paste a URL, or type it in - proofit's AI extracts ingredients and steps while you watch the recipe build live. Even complex recipes with levain builds, soakers, and overnight proofs come through cleanly structured. Review, edit, and save to your collection.

RECIPES THAT ADAPT
Scale to any dough weight, swap flours, or let AI turn a yeast recipe into a sourdough version - saved as a variant, with your original untouched. proofit even warns you when an imported recipe needs equipment you don't have.

7 BAKING CALCULATORS
Hydration, scaling, flour swaps, yeast-to-sourdough conversion, feed ratios, water temperature (DDT), and unit conversion. All the math, none of the guesswork.

AI BAKING ASSISTANT
Get personalized tips based on your equipment and kitchen setup. Troubleshoot a sluggish starter, ask questions mid-bake, or get a crumb analysis from photos of your finished loaf.

SHARE YOUR BAKES
Turn your bake reviews into beautiful shareable cards. Send recipes to friends with a single tap - they can save them straight into their own collection.

WORKS OFFLINE, SYNCS EVERYWHERE
Starter tracking, guided baking, timers, and all calculators work without internet. Optional cloud backup keeps recipes and starters in sync across your devices - iPhone & iPad. Only AI features need a connection.

FREE TO USE
All core features are free - no account, no paywall for the basics. Premium (EUR 2.99/month) unlocks more AI uses and a smarter model.

Built by a home baker, for home bakers.

### 5/5 — Beste Brot Back App 👍🏻

*2026-08-03*

Ich nutze die App inzwischen regelmäßig und bin wirklich begeistert. Besonders gefällt mir die geführte Erstellung des Levains sowie die strukturierte Begleitung durch den gesamten Backprozess. Gerade wenn man noch lernt oder neue Dinge ausprobieren möchte, gibt die App Orientierung und hilft dabei, die einzelnen Schritte besser zu verstehen.

Besonders positiv finde ich, dass der Entwickler offen für Feedback ist und die App kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Neue Ideen und Verbesserungsvorschläge werden ernst genommen und fließen immer wieder in die App ein. Dadurch merkt man, dass hier mit viel Leidenschaft und Fachwissen gearbeitet wird.

Für mich ist die App inzwischen ein fester Bestandteil meines Brotbackens. Sie hilft mir nicht nur dabei, den Überblick zu behalten, sondern auch meine Backergebnisse Schritt für Schritt zu verbessern. Ich bin schon gespannt, welche Funktionen in Zukunft noch dazukommen.

Über diese App könnte ich noch viel mehr schreiben, aber das würde hier den Rahmen sprengen. Deshalb habe ich mich auf die wichtigsten Punkte beschränkt.

**Developer response:** Danke das freut mich wirklich sehr 🙏
Viel Spaß weiterhin mit der App und beim Brot Backen.

### 4/5 — Super App mit zwei Schwächen

*2026-07-22*

Die App ist wirklich super. So viele durchdachte Funktionen, ich glaube hier vermisst man nichts, wenn man gerne und regelmäßig mit Sauerteig backt. 
Leider sind mir auf dem iPhone ein paar Fehler bei der Bedienung aufgefallen. Wenn ich einen Sauerteig gefüttert habe, kommt danach ein Fenster mit Vorschlägen was ich als Nächstes machen könnte. Dieses Fenster bekomme ich dann nur wieder weg, wenn ich die App neu starte. Und wenn ich ein Rezept auf meinen Fotos importieren möchte, kann ich das Fenster mit den Auswahlmöglichkeiten unten weder nach oben ziehen, noch zu dem Punkt scrollen wo ich "aus Fotos importieren" auswählen kann. 

Ein weiterer Minuspunkt ist das Abomodell. Ich kann den Entwickler verstehen, gerade die KI Funktionen verursachen je nachdem laufende Kosten. Aber es wäre schön, wenn man grundsätzliche Funktionen wie das Backup oder die Synchronisierung über iCloud oder ähnliches über mehrere Geräte hinweg auch mit einem Einmalkauf freischalten könnte, und die KI Funktionen nach Bedarf dazu buchen. Das wäre perfekt. 
Mittlerweile gibts es leider so viele Abos in Apps und bei einer Back-App, die man vielleicht nur gelegentlich nutzt, sind 5€ im Monat dann schon viel.

**Developer response:** Hallo. Danke das du dir Zeit genommen hast mir ein so detailliertes Review zu hinterlassen. Die ersten beiden Fehler wurden bereits behoben. Danke für’s Melden. 

Bezüglich Abo Modell: In Kürze kommt genau dieser Einmal Kauf. 

Danke!

### 5/5 — Beste Sauerteig-App aller Zeiten ❤️

*2026-06-06*

Vielen Dank für die erste App, die auf Deutsch ist & jeder Anfänger versteht!
Meine drei ASG sind darüber glücklich so wie ich. Das sie mich an das Füttern erinnert, finde ich in meinem stressigen Alltag eine große Bereicherung!
Ob man jetzt das Premium-Abo abschließt, ist jedem selber überlassen.
Ich habe es & finde es gut!

Weiter so 💪🏻

**Developer response:** Danke für deine Bewertung. Das bedeutet mir wirklich viel. Viel Spaß weiterhin beim backen.

### 5/5 — 10/10!

*2026-05-14*

Absolut fantastische Brot-App! Man merkt, dass diese mit Herzblut von Jemandem programmiert wurde, der genau weiß, worauf es beim Brotbacken ankommt. Mir gefällt besonders gut, dass ich an das Füttern meines Starters erinnert werde, dass ich Fütterungen tracken und mein eigenes Rezept hinterlegen kann! Die integrierten Timer während des Backens helfen sehr, die Zeiten einzuhalten! Toll finde ich auch die Möglichkeit, den Mehlbestand einzurichten und die Benutzung verschiedener Rechner für Hydration, Hefe, Volumen, etc! 
Ich kann die App wirklich jedem empfehlen!

**Developer response:** Danke dir, das freut mich echt sehr zu lesen! Schön, dass dir die App beim Backen und mit deinem Starter so gut hilft. Genau solche Rückmeldungen motivieren mich total, weiter dran zu bleiben :). Viel Spaß weiterhin beim Backen!

### 5/5 — Excellent Bread Baking App With a Responsive Developer

*2026-05-13*

Excellent app and extremely useful for bread baking. The developer is responsive and genuinely listens to feedback. I mentioned that the flour options were too broad for users in France, and French flour classifications like T45, T55, T65, T80, etc. were implemented almost immediately for the next update. That level of support is rare. Highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and recommendation. I’m really glad proofit is useful for your bread baking, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share specific feedback.

The French flour classifications were a great suggestion, and it’s exactly the kind of input that helps make the app better for real bakers in different countries. Thanks again for helping improve proofit.

### 5/5 — Tolle Hilfe für Hobbybäcker

*2026-05-08*

Ich durfte schon am Beta Test der App teilnehmen und bin positiv begeistert. Detaillierte Hilfe vom Ansetzen des Sauerteigstarters bis zum fertigen Brot. 
Erinnerung für den Fütterungsintervall, Timer für alle Schritte beim Backen, mittlerweile sogar „Timer im Timer“ bei parallel laufenden Backschritten. 
Empfehlung für jeden, der sich mit Brotbacken beschäftigen möchte.

**Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank für deine Rezension. Ich freue mich total das dir die App so gefällt. Ich habe bereits weitere coole Updates in der Pipeline :)

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-14

New in 1.3:

• Import recipes from social media: share a post from Instagram or Facebook straight to proofit and it becomes a complete recipe - with a guided intro for each app and a free example import to try it first. TikTok and YouTube are coming soon.
• Levain, next level: build your levain in stages with classic multi-stage methods like the Detmolder three-stage process, run several levains at the same time, and let guided baking take care of your levain - build it as part of the bake, watch it ripen to peak, and continue the moment it is ready.
• Step timers now bend to your dough: turn them forward or back right on the timer card, add time when they ring - every adjustment is recorded in your bake journal.
• Italian flours are built in: Tipo 0, Tipo 1, Tipo 2, and Farina integrale, with Italy as a new flour system in Settings.
• Tapped one step too far in guided baking? Undo the last action or swipe back to an earlier step.
• Set a target dough weight in grams before you bake, and tell proofit how warm your kitchen is so proofing times match your room.
• Sort recipe folders your way, and jump through long recipe lists with the new A-Z rail.
• Plus many fixes and improvements throughout the app.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-29

New in 1.2:
• Live levain tracking: start it, watch the ripeness forecast react, confirm the peak with one tap
• Every guided bake becomes a journal with photos and real step times - share it as an image series, even to Instagram Stories
• Edit recipes with AI: describe the change, the recalculated recipe streams in
• Guided baking: one step in focus, folds as a timer chain, new finish screen
• Recipe folders as photo tiles
• Lots of performance fixes

### 1.1.3 — 2026-07-07

proofit now officially feels at home on iPad: more room for planning, importing, editing and guided baking, without your recipe spilling over like an ambitious dough.

Big new extra: you can now create your own flour types and use them right away in inventory, recipes and sourdough feeds.

Also new: recipe import and Recipe AI are clearer and more reliable, shared recipes open and save more smoothly, timers behave more politely, URL imports keep their photos, and the bake planner can account for the room temperature of this bake.

In short: less fiddling, more bread.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-06-25

Version 1.1.2 is a bigger baking bench cleanup: smarter sourdough planning, better recipe imports, and fewer “wait, why is this dough doing that?” moments.

New and improved:
- Premium bread analysis can now review crumb and loaf photos after a bake and suggest likely causes plus concrete tweaks for next time.
- Room-temperature fermentation steps now have a temperature slider that updates timers and the remaining schedule live.
- The bake planner now uses your kitchen temperature more intelligently, including for sourdough pre-ferment ripening.
- Baking steps can include timed oven actions, such as lowering temperature, releasing steam, removing a lid, or checking the loaf.
- Yeast-only recipes can now be converted into separate sourdough variants with AI, while the original recipe stays untouched.
- Flour swaps and hydration adjustments now run locally without AI credits, with changed ingredients highlighted for easy review.
- Hydration is more realistic: ingredients like eggs, butter, yogurt, honey, milk, fruit, and starter water can now count toward effective hydration.
- The yeast and sourdough converter now supports fresh yeast, dry yeast, and instant yeast.

Polish and fixes:
- Recipe variants switch more smoothly and can be set as the default view.
- Imported pre-dough recipes now keep pre-doughs, rests, shaping, steam changes, and temperature changes in the right places.
- Recent bakes show the saved result photo faster after finishing a bake.
- Recipe scaling keeps tiny amounts visible, so 0.5 g yeast does not mysteriously vanish into 0 g.
- Several compact-screen layouts are easier to read.

In short: more control, cleaner imports, better dough math, and fewer suspiciously confusing recipe steps.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-12

More sourdough, less squinting: add a photo to each starter, translate recipes before sharing, and long-press to select multiple recipes or bakes. The bake planner now accepts an exact finish date, long timers are easier to read, and import photos stay politely on screen. Fewer bumps, more bakes.
