Levain vs Dough it yourself

Bread Baking and Sourdough Maintenance Management for iOS and iPadOS Keep all your bread baking recipes in one single place. Define the individual recipe steps entering all details relevant to you (step duration, automatic or manual start, ingredients, temperatures, equipment etc) Bring your recipes to life by creating bakings. Get notified when a step is ready to start or has just started. Manage your sourdoughs and get notified when it’s time to feed or store them. Monitor your bakings and levains without opening the app by using the home screen and lock screen widgets. iCloud support: your recipes, bakings and levains will be available across all your iOS/iPadOS devices. Levain is totally free, In-App-Purchases allow you to tip the developer and have no impact on the app's functionality.

Dough it yourself is the ultimate sourdough app for home bakers. Whether you're baking your first loaf or your hundredth, it guides you through every step, from feeding your starter to the perfect loaf coming out of the oven. Reverse scheduling — tell us when your bread should be ready. Just enter when you want your bread to be ready, and the app works backwards to plan every step: preferment, autolyse, bulk fermentation, shaping, cold retard, baking and cooling. You'll know exactly when to start and what comes next. Temperature-aware timing Enter your room temperature and the app adjusts fermentation and resting times automatically. Warmer kitchen? Shorter bulk fermentation. Cooler? The app takes that into account. Starter management Give your starters names and avatars, log every feeding with its ratios, track the rise and keep an eye on their health. Feeding reminders make sure you never miss a feeding. Step-by-step notifications Every baking step is scheduled in advance as a local notification, so you always know when it's time for the next one. Your phone becomes your baking assistant. Baking journal Record every bake with photos, ratings (crust, crumb, flavor, oven spring) and notes. Follow your progress with statistics and trends. Recipe editor with baker's percentages Create and adjust recipes with baker's percentages: hydration, salt percentage and dough weight are calculated automatically, and when you plan a bake you can scale the quantity with a turn of the wheel. Choose from a built-in flour database with protein content. Gamification Earn achievements, build baking streaks and level up from beginner to master baker.
