Dough Clock keeps the numbers and the clock for a sourdough bake in one place. Work out the formula, plan the day back from the time you want to bake, and see the current step and its ready time on your Lock Screen. Pro is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription, no ads and no account. FORMULA CALCULATOR • Edit in grams or in baker's percentages, and watch the totals change as you type • True hydration that counts the flour and water in your levain • Several flours, add-ins, stiff or liquid levain • Scale to a dough weight, to a number of loaves, or from the ingredient you're short of ("I only have 350 g of levain") • Water temperature calculator for the dough temperature you want, in °C or °F BAKE PLAN AND TIMERS • A plan for every step: autolyse, mix, folds, bulk, shape, proof, bake • Start now, or pick when the loaf should go into the oven and get the plan worked out backward • A warning when a step would wake you between 2 and 6 AM • Reminders for every fold • Bulk and proof shown as a range for your dough temperature and levain amount • Tap Done when the dough is ready, not when the timer says so. The rest of the plan shifts with you. STARTER • Log a feeding with one tap, using your last ratio • See roughly when it should peak, and get a reminder to feed it • Add a jar photo and mark the fed level JOURNAL • Every bake is saved with its formula and real timings • Add crust and crumb photos, a rating and notes • Bake Again copies the formula and the plan 12 BASE FORMULAS Country loaf, half whole wheat, focaccia and sandwich loaf are free. Pro adds light rye, seeded multigrain, a high-hydration loaf, olive and rosemary, baguettes, pizza, bagels and discard crackers. Your own formulas are always free and unlimited. DOUGH CLOCK PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • Estimates that adjust to the bakes you log, so they fit your kitchen • Live Activity: the current step and its ready time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • All 12 base formulas • Unlimited starters and the whole journal • Export a formula as text or PDF • Color themes • Family Sharing A NOTE ON ESTIMATES Fermentation times are estimates, not promises. They come from rules of thumb and from your own logged bakes. Always check your dough: volume, bubbles and the poke test decide. Your formulas, photos and logs stay on your iPhone.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PizzApp+ at none against Dough Clock's 1. PizzApp+ also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Dough Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
