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.

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.
