## What is Starter?

Know when your starter is ready. Starter keeps your sourdough starter fed and tells you when it's hungry, rising, or near its peak, so you bake at the right moment.

Log a feeding in one tap, pick your ratio, and set a reminder for the next one. The home screen shows how long it's been since the last feed and where your starter is in its rise.

FREE
• One-tap "Fed now" with your ratio (1:1:1, 1:2:2, 1:5:5, or custom) and grams of starter, flour, and water
• A next-feeding reminder every 12 or 24 hours, or on your own schedule
• Hungry, Rising, and Near peak status at a glance
• A ratio calculator that splits any target weight into starter, flour, and water
• Feeding streaks
• A Home Screen widget with time since the last feed and the next one

PREMIUM
• Rise tracker: photograph the jar, drag a line to the top of the dough, and see a rise chart and the exact peak time
• Average time to peak, learned from your own jar, shown right on Home
• More than one starter
• A bake journal with photos, notes, ratings, and a dough scaler for flour, hydration, starter, and salt
• Feeding history chart

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your starters, feedings, and photos stay on your iPhone. Reminders are local notifications.
