Plan the perfect loaf around your life โ€” not the other way around. Sourdough Schedule is the calm, organized companion for home bakers who want every bake to come out right. Tell the app when you want to pull the bread from the oven, and it works backward to build your entire timeline: when to feed your starter, when to mix, when to fold, when to shape, when to retard in the fridge, and when to score and bake. Built for beginners learning their first country loaf and refined enough for experienced bakers running long cold ferments and high-hydration doughs. WHAT YOU CAN DO Reverse-Time Scheduler Pick your finish time. The app calculates every step before it โ€” starter feed, levain, autolyse, bulk fermentation, stretch and folds, pre-shape, bench rest, final shape, cold retard, preheat, bake, cool. Every step lands on a real time on your calendar. Step-by-Step Reminders Local reminders for every stage so you never miss a fold or forget the dough in the fridge. Set lead times that match your routine. Starter Tracker Log every feeding with flour, water, ratio, temperature, and notes. Track your starter's rise activity over the last two weeks on a clean chart. Daily feeding reminders keep your culture alive and healthy. Recipe Library Eight handcrafted recipes ready to go โ€” Classic Country, Whole Wheat, Multigrain, Light Rye, Olive Rosemary Focaccia, Baguettes, Whole Wheat Tin Loaf, and Ciabatta. Each one shows full ingredient lists with baker's percentages and a built-in hydration calculator that scales every weight when you change the total flour. Bake Journal Save every bake with a photo, rating, crumb structure, crust color, and tasting notes. Track your progress over weeks and months. Mark favorites and learn what works in your kitchen. Hydration Math Done Right Adjust the total flour weight and watch every other ingredient recalculate live. No spreadsheet, no mental gymnastics.
