Often when I 'd bake bread on the weekends, I'd get tired of setting so many timers. So, I built this app that allowed me to enter my custom baking schedule and it would send me reminder notifications whenever it was time to start the next step. Plus, it helps remind bakers that they need to feed their starter - whether you feed daily or weekly. It's a free application that should help streamline the baking process - enjoy!
