DoughLab β the baking recipe notebook for serious bread bakers Great bread is never perfect on the first try. Tweak the formula a little each bake, capture photos and notes, and promote your best round to "main." A precise baking tool for home bakers who care about sourdough and naturally leavened bread. β’ Baker's percentage formula engine Every ingredient is calculated against flour at 100%. Convert grams β percent instantly, and see hydration (water %) and total dough weight at a glance. Set a target like "1.2 kg total" or "6 baguettes" and the weights scale to match. β’ Bake plan (schedule) β timeline + start reminders Put your bakes on a timetable. Pick a recipe and the total time fills in from its process steps; a notification tells you when it's time to start. Set weekly repeats for your regular bakes. See your baking day at a glance in day and week views β great for bakers managing a shop's oven schedule, too. β’ One recipe, many formulas Stack every bake of a recipe. Clone a round you liked, change just one thing, and bake again β then compare photos, ratings and notes side by side. Pin your best formula as the "main" so it shows first. β’ Ingredient stock that links to recipes Register the amount on hand (g) and expiry for flour, yeast, levain and more. DoughLab flags what's short for a recipe, warns when you're running low against the amount you first bought, deducts what you use automatically, and lets you restock right there. β’ Build a recipe in 4 steps Name β yield β formula β method.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Belka at none against DoughLab's 4. Belka also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). DoughLab's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
