Sourflow vs Proofed

Sourflow is a sourdough baking companion for home bakers who want to stop guessing and start understanding their bakes. Every session you log teaches you something about the next one. Try Sourflow free for a month. Track every phase, log every bake, and finally understand what makes your sourdough work. No guesswork. No notebooks. Not a recipe app. A baking journal that happens to hold recipes — built around the data that turns inconsistent results into repeatable ones. Bake Timer Step through up to 8 phases — autolyse, bulk, shape, proof, bake — each individually timed. Log room, water and dough temperatures per session, track stretch-and-folds, and get a bulk fermentation estimate based on your temperatures and your own baking history. A Live Activity widget keeps your current phase visible on the lock screen and Dynamic Island. Levain Tracker Log every feeding with ratio, flour type and temperature. Track your starter's rise state, get peak predictions based on your feeding history, and set reminders so you never miss the window again. Recipes & Guided Baking Save your own formulas by weight or baker's percentage with automatic hydration calculation. Follow any recipe in step-by-step mode — each stage with its own built-in timer, so you never need to switch apps mid-bake. Session Logbook Every completed bake is saved with phase timings, temperatures, linked recipe, notes, fold count, crumb photo and grading. Compare sessions side by side to understand what actually changed. Analytics See how dough temperature affects fermentation duration, track your bake frequency over time, and watch your own patterns emerge the more you bake. Your bakes deserve better than a notebook. Start tracking with Sourflow. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Proofed is a sourdough starter tracker and bake scheduler for people who bake once a week, not once a day. Keep your starter in the fridge and Proofed reminds you to feed it on the right cadence, in the starter's own voice. Tell it your kitchen's temperature and when you want bread on the table, and it builds the whole bake, feed, mix, folds, shape, cold proof, bake, with notifications on your iPhone and Apple Watch. When the loaf is cool, Chef Henri, our brutally honest AI baker, reads the crumb and gives you a diagnosis, a score out of 100 and the one thing to change next bake. MEET CHEF HENRI Slice your loaf, snap a photo, and a brutally honest AI master baker grades your fermentation, texture, oven spring, and crust out of 100 — then tells you exactly what to fix next bake. He is very hard to impress. Scores of 95+ are the stuff of legend. TIMELINES THAT MATCH YOUR KITCHEN Sourdough timing shifts with temperature — a 4-hour bulk in a warm kitchen is 6 in a cold one. Tell Proofed your temp and it builds your whole bake day: feeds, folds, shaping, cold retard, bake. With notifications at every step, Lock Screen Live Activities, and Apple Watch support. A STARTER WITH FEELINGS Name your starter. Feed it. Watch it bubble happily, get hangry, or nap in the fridge. Build feeding streaks, get AI health checks from a jar photo — and if you neglect it, it will guilt-trip you by push notification. In first person. TECHNIQUE DEMOS ON EVERY STEP Not sure what a coil fold looks like? Every timeline step includes a looping video demo — stretch & folds, shaping, scoring, lamination — right where you need it, no searching mid-bake with floury hands.
