S.D Timer vs Proofed

S.D TIMER computes the exact feeding schedule for your sourdough starter, working backward from your target ready time to give you a precise feed time and gram-level recipe. HOW IT WORKS Enter six parameters: target ready time, quantity of starter needed (grams), desired hydration percentage, flour type, starter activity level (%), and ambient temperature (°C or °F). The app applies a fermentation kinetics model that factors temperature-dependent metabolic rates of lactic acid bacteria and wild yeast to calculate when your starter will hit peak activity. OUTPUT — YOUR FEEDING PLAN • Feed time: the exact moment to feed so your starter peaks on schedule • Starter / flour / water quantities in grams • Feed ratio (e.g., 1:9.8:9.8) • Estimated peak pH • Predicted flavor profile (mild, balanced, tangy, complex) • Recommended bread types suited to the resulting starter profile • Fermentation timeline chart with 80% activity window marked Set process alarms directly from the results screen to get notified at feed time and at peak. DESIGNED FOR PRECISION Temperature has a nonlinear effect on fermentation speed. A 5°C difference between summer and winter kitchens can shift peak time by 2–4 hours. S.D TIMER accounts for this so your timing stays consistent regardless of ambient conditions. Supports both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Works across all flour types including whole wheat, rye, spelt, and einkorn. Starter activity input lets you calibrate for your specific culture's behavior. PROFESSIONAL & HOME BAKERS Built for bakers who want repeatability and data-driven control over their sourdough process. Used by professional bakery instructors for workshop demonstrations and planning. No login required. Works offline once loaded.

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. GROW A SOURDOUGH DYNASTY Real starters get shared. Gift a piece to a friend with a link — when they claim it, their starter joins your family tree. Generations, descendants, and bragging rights, tracked forever. THE WEEKLY BAKE Every week, every baker gets the same challenge. Bake it, scan it, climb the leaderboard.
