Marlabee's Recipes vs BreadLog

Marlabee’s Recipes is a private family cookbook for preserving and sharing favorite recipes.

BreadLog turns sourdough baking from a stressful guessing game into a guided, joyful ritual. Whether you're feeding your first starter or scoring your hundredth loaf, the app keeps a calm, warm presence beside you in the kitchen. WHAT'S INSIDE Live cooking sessions with a visual progress line, encouraging ambient text, and haptic milestones at every key moment. Hands-free mode — say "Next" with floured hands or tap giant buttons designed for messy kitchens. Scoring preview with camera overlay — pick a pattern, rotate it over your dough, score with confidence. Smart waiting prompts during long ferments — what to do while you wait, plus dough-expansion visualizer. Live Activity + Dynamic Island — your current step and countdown live on the lock screen. Mini educational moments — tap a term, learn what autolyse, bulk ferment, or scoring really mean. STARTER & JOURNEY Starter Journey — a 6-step guided path: from mixing flour and water to fridge sleep mode and dried backup. Baking Journey — a 5-day onboarding for absolute beginners with confidence-building milestones. Flour mix on feedings — log wheat + rye + whole grain together with separate gram amounts. Activity chart, peak prediction, fridge / room mode, spoilage detection.
