Do you love baking bread? Have you struggled planning your bread? Do you want to get rid of your stained recipe notes and have your recipes with you on the go, so you can bake at a friend's place as well? BreadMe might be the app for you! No matter if you're already an expert or just getting started, "BreadMe" might just be your best new bread baking buddy. BreadMe allows you to easily - SCHEDULE your bread so it's ready at the time you need it. - keep TRACK of your progress in any recipe. - COLLECT your recipes in your pocket and take them anywhere. - SHARE your favorite recipes with friends, family, and other baking enthusiasts. - keep TRACK of your SOURDOUGHS. - receive REMINDERS for feeding your sourdoughs. - receive REMINDERS for progressing with your running recipes. I've always been a little intimidated by baking bread for family or friends, because the risk of forgetting something is high, and making sure your bread is ready at the exact time you need it can be difficult to plan. Still, I've been baking bread for over 4 years now and finally tackled the problem with planning recipes once and for all. After sharing it with a couple of friends and online, I realized just how many people craved such an app, so I decided to add some more features to the beta and release it. So now, here we are. I sincerely hope you will enjoy the app! If you have any questions, ideas, or want to get in touch, head over to https://breadme.app. Looking forward to hearing from you, Ferdinand, Developer of BreadMe
