Pick a loaf, tap Bake, and proofit walks you through every step - with timers, reminders and your sourdough starter in one place. GUIDED BAKING Every step of your recipe, one at a time. Timers for every fold, proof and bake, a notification when it's time, and timed oven actions like releasing steam or removing the lid. Dough running fast or slow? Add or take away minutes and the whole schedule follows. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN - NEW Your current step and timer stay on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you never have to unlock your phone with floury hands. STARTER TRACKING Log feedings, watch the rise live and see when your starter will peak. Smart reminders adapt to your schedule and to whether it lives on the counter or in the fridge. PLAN BACKWARDS Tell proofit when you want fresh bread and it works out when to start, based on your kitchen temperature and the hours you have. Build a levain with the right amounts at the right time. IMPORT ANY RECIPE Share a reel or post from social media, photograph a cookbook page, paste a link or type it in. proofit's AI turns it into a structured recipe with steps and timers while you watch. Even levain builds, soakers and overnight proofs come through cleanly. RECIPES THAT ADAPT Scale to any dough weight, swap flours, or turn a yeast recipe into a sourdough version - saved as a variant, your original stays untouched. Or start with proven classics like the Sourdough Boule, Focaccia and Bagels. REMEMBER WHAT WORKED Photos and notes from a bake show up at the same step next time, so every loaf learns from the last one. Rate your bakes and share them as cards. 7 BAKING CALCULATORS Hydration, scaling, flour swaps, yeast to sourdough, feed ratios, water temperature (DDT) and unit conversion. AI BAKING ASSISTANT Tips for your equipment and kitchen, help with a sluggish starter, answers mid-bake and a crumb analysis from a photo of your loaf.

Every baker knows the feeling: you pull a loaf out of the oven and something went wrong. But why? BreadAdvisor closes the loop between what you planned and what you baked. PLAN A BAKE — before you start Submit your recipe (photo, paste, or URL) and get: • Baker's math: hydration %, salt %, yeast % calculated automatically • What to expect: crumb, crust, rise prediction for your exact recipe • Risk flags: the 2-3 things most likely to go wrong • Substitution advice: what changes if you swap rye for bread flour, or active dry for instant yeast • Add-in ideas: what works at your hydration and style CHECK YOUR DOUGH — while you bake Not sure if your dough is ready to shape? Take a photo. BreadAdvisor compares it to your starting reference and tells you: • Ready to shape now • Wait 30-45 minutes — recheck then • Borderline — shape now, expect limited oven spring • Overproofed — shape gently, skip final proof, bake immediately No more guessing. No more wasted loaves from over-fermented dough. LOG THE RESULT — after you bake Photo your finished loaf. BreadAdvisor diagnoses it against what it predicted: • What actually happened vs what was predicted • What went well (and why) • 2-3 specific tweaks for your next bake • One tap to plan v2 with those tweaks pre-filled THE LOOP THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER BAKER Plan → Check → Log → Plan v2. Each bake builds on the last. Your recipe library accumulates versions with side-by-side crumb shots and predicted-vs-actual notes. After 3-4 iterations you'll have a version of every recipe dialed in to your oven, your flour, your kitchen. FREE — start here • 3 bakes on us — no monthly reset, just on us • After that: watch a short ad to unlock another bake, or upgrade to Pro • Check Your Dough and Log a Bake are never gated — only Plan a Bake counts PRO — $4.99/month or $39.99/year • Unlimited bakes • Compare versions: see crumb, crust, rise, and score side-by-side across every version of a recipe • No ads • Full recipe library with version history SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION BreadAdvisor Pro is an auto-renewing subscription.
