Your sourdough deserves better than a notes app. proofit is the baking companion that helps you track your starter, plan your bakes, and actually remember what worked last time. Whether you're feeding your first starter or baking your hundredth loaf - proofit keeps everything in one place. STARTER TRACKING Log feedings, monitor readiness, and know exactly when your starter is at peak activity. Quick feed for maintenance days, live sessions with peak tracking when it matters. Smart reminders that adapt to your schedule and storage method. GUIDED BAKING Set when you want your bread done, and proofit plans every step backwards - taking your kitchen temperature into account. Follow along with timers, notifications, and timed oven actions like releasing steam or removing the lid. Dough running fast or slow? Adjust the temperature and your whole schedule updates live. REMEMBER WHAT WORKED Add photos and notes as you bake - they show up at the same step next time, so your third attempt learns from your first two. Rate finished loaves and build a history of what actually worked. RECIPE IMPORT Snap a photo, paste a URL, or type it in - proofit's AI extracts ingredients and steps while you watch the recipe build live. Even complex recipes with levain builds, soakers, and overnight proofs come through cleanly structured. Review, edit, and save to your collection. RECIPES THAT ADAPT Scale to any dough weight, swap flours, or let AI turn a yeast recipe into a sourdough version - saved as a variant, with your original untouched. proofit even warns you when an imported recipe needs equipment you don't have. 7 BAKING CALCULATORS Hydration, scaling, flour swaps, yeast-to-sourdough conversion, feed ratios, water temperature (DDT), and unit conversion. All the math, none of the guesswork. AI BAKING ASSISTANT Get personalized tips based on your equipment and kitchen setup. Troubleshoot a sluggish starter, ask questions mid-bake, or get a crumb analysis from photos of your finished loaf. SHARE YOUR BAKES Turn your bake reviews into beautiful shareable cards. Send recipes to friends with a single tap - they can save them straight into their own collection. WORKS OFFLINE, SYNCS EVERYWHERE Starter tracking, guided baking, timers, and all calculators work without internet. Optional cloud backup keeps recipes and starters in sync across your devices - iPhone & iPad. Only AI features need a connection. FREE TO USE All core features are free - no account, no paywall for the basics. Premium (EUR 2.99/month) unlocks more AI uses and a smarter model. Built by a home baker, for home bakers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: proofit at every 10 days against CRUSTA's every 3 weeks. proofit also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
