MySourdough reminds you when each step is due and shows where the bake stands, so you can get on with your day between steps. You can start a bake as soon as you open the app. No account is needed. Recipes, step reminders, bake history, and the fermentation and starter tools are free. Lines marked (Premium) need the optional MySourdough Premium subscription.

BakeMemo
Read full descriptionHide full description
The hardest part of baking is not knowing what actually changed. BakeMemo keeps every bake’s formula, method and result together, so you can see what you changed and guess a little less next time. • One recipe sheet for bread, cakes, cookies, pastry, and set desserts, with baker’s percentages calculated live. • Follow the process step by step and run a timer on any step. In-app timing continues even when notifications are unavailable. • Archive each bake and view its lineage to compare recipe changes with recorded ratings—without presenting correlation as certain cause. • A local rule-based coach suggests one clear next step and shows the trade-off. • Cost and nutrition are always labelled estimates. Your package prices take priority, and per-100g estimates appear only after actual baked weight is entered. • Pantry and shopping list: tap a recipe you want to make and anything missing is added for you; logging a bake deducts what you used, and you can filter for recipes your pantry already covers. • Paste text or photograph a paper recipe to import it. Text recognition runs on your device, and you check each line before it's saved as your own recipe. • Free and Pro: 62 recipes and your first three bakes are free. Advanced and challenge recipes are in the Pro recipe library, and Pro also unlocks unlimited bakes and professional cost tools (monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime purchase). The pantry, shopping list and import are free, and recipes you've baked and your existing bakes always stay open. The core workflow works fully offline. No account, ads, tracking, or third-party SDKs. Archived logs can sync across your devices through your own private iCloud database.
