SourdoughGuru vs S.D Timer Pro

**Better sourdough starts with understanding your last bake.** SourdoughGuru helps you plan a bake, follow each step, and learn from the result. Photograph your crumb for AI-powered feedback, compare attempts to see what changed, and keep your recipes and baking history together. **PLAN AROUND YOUR DAY** Choose when you want your bread ready. SourdoughGuru builds a step-by-step schedule backwards from that time, with estimates based on your kitchen temperature. **STAY WITH YOUR DOUGH** Follow guided baking steps with timers and reminders for folds and other key moments. Record temperatures, rise, notes, and photos as you bake. **LEARN FROM EVERY LOAF** Take a photo of your crumb to explore its structure and get practical ideas for your next bake. Compare attempts side by side to spot changes in timing, temperature, rise, and results. **KEEP YOUR BAKING IN ONE PLACE** Create and scale recipes with baker’s percentages, track starter feedings and activity, and revisit the details of past bakes. **SHARE WHAT YOU MADE** Turn a finished bake into a Loaf Card you can share with friends, along with a link to the recipe so they can bake it too. Sourdough takes practice. SourdoughGuru helps you make each bake count.

S.D TIMER Pro computes the exact feeding schedule for your sourdough starter, working backward from your target ready time to give you a precise feed time and gram-level recipe. HOW IT WORKS Enter six parameters: target ready time, quantity of starter needed (grams), desired hydration percentage, flour type, starter activity level (%), and ambient temperature (°C or °F). The app applies a fermentation kinetics model that factors temperature-dependent metabolic rates of lactic acid bacteria and wild yeast to calculate when your starter will hit peak activity. OUTPUT — YOUR FEEDING PLAN • Feed time: the exact moment to feed so your starter peaks on schedule • Starter / flour / water quantities in grams • Feed ratio (e.g., 1:9.8:9.8) • Estimated peak pH • Predicted flavor profile (mild, balanced, tangy, complex) • Recommended bread types suited to the resulting starter profile • Fermentation timeline chart with 80% activity window marked Set process alarms directly from the results screen to get notified at feed time and at peak. DESIGNED FOR PRECISION Temperature has a nonlinear effect on fermentation speed. A 5°C difference between summer and winter kitchens can shift peak time by 2–4 hours. S.D TIMER Pro accounts for this so your timing stays consistent regardless of ambient conditions. Supports both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Works across all flour types including whole wheat, rye, spelt, and einkorn. Starter activity input lets you calibrate for your specific culture's behavior.
