Poolish vs Proofed

Your sourdough starter deserves better than sticky notes. Poolish is a quiet tool for bakers. Every jar on the shelf, every feed logged, every bake planned — one app, no clutter, no ads. WHAT POOLISH DOES Shelf, not screens. Every starter you keep shows up as a jar on a wooden shelf, sorted by who's hungriest. One tap to log a feed. The overdue ones rise to the top, coloured like burnt crust. A live countdown. Watch the hours tick down in real time. We'll tell you an hour before a feed, at feed time, and once if you forget. Three notifications max, never more. Bake day, planned backwards. Want bread by Saturday 9 AM? Drag the target; Poolish walks back through preheat, shape, cold proof, bulk fermentation, mix, levain, and the last feed. Your whole Friday lays out in one timeline. History that stays honest. Every feed records ratio, temperature, rise, and an optional photo. See your starter get stronger week over week in a rise-trend sparkline. Seven languages, built in. English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese — each with baker's terminology. Two palettes, two modes. Cream & Crust (flour-counter warm) or Deep Rye (deeper, shadowier). Light + dark for each. POOLISH PLUS (subscription) Most of Poolish is free.

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.
