## What is Sourdough Coach?

Why won't my sourdough rise? Why is my crumb gummy? Sourdough is half science, half guessing - until now.

Snap a photo of your starter or your cut crumb and Proofd reads it like a seasoned baker. It tells you what it actually sees in YOUR jar or loaf, what it means, and exactly what to do next - not a vague, canned answer.

WHAT PROOFD DOES
- Reads your starter - rising, at peak, hungry, sluggish, or off. Know when it's ready to bake, with a real explanation.
- Diagnoses your crumb - under-proofed, over-fermented, gummy, dense? Find out what went wrong and how to fix it next time.
- Catches trouble - flags possible mold so you stay safe.
- Feeding schedule - set your rhythm and get a gentle reminder when it's time to feed.
- Baker's tools - hydration calculator, baker's percentages, and a grams-to-cups converter.
- Bake journal - save every diagnosis and watch your loaves get better over time.
- Ask anything - a sourdough expert in your pocket.

HONEST, FROM THE START
Other sourdough apps charge every single month and hide everything behind a timer pop-up. Proofd is a one-time purchase - pay once, own it forever. No subscription, no trial traps, no surprise charges. Calculators and your journal are always free.

Photos are used only to read them and are never stored or shared. Your journal stays on your device.
