Autolyse vs RiseMate

Your starter doesn't care about 12-hour rules. It cares about temperature. Autolyse is a sourdough tracker that actually gets that — built around how real home bakers actually bake. Track your starter, predict peak with temperature-aware timing, run your bake stage-by-stage, and keep a journal worth re-reading next Sunday. No subscriptions. No ads. No account. No tracking. WHAT AUTOLYSE DOES Peak prediction that understands your kitchen Log the ambient temperature when you feed, and Autolyse tells you a realistic peak window, not a generic six hours. A real bake journal Stage-by-stage timing for same-day and overnight schedules, crumb photos, star ratings, and the notes you'll actually read next time. Baker's math, solved Dial in dough weight, hydration, levain, and salt percentages. Save go-to formulas. Scale cleanly. Multiple starters, named Doughlores, Breadley, the rye experiment. Each with their own flour blend and feeding schedule. Multi-component flour blends Model 80/20 bread flour and whole wheat, or any other blend you actually mix. Hydration gets calculated correctly. Your data, your device Everything stays on your phone. Syncs across your Apple devices via iCloud. Nothing sent to any server of mine, because there are no servers of mine. PRO UNLOCK — $6.99 ONCE, FOREVER Free to try with one starter, full bake tracking, baker's math, and CSV export. One-time $6.99 unlock adds multiple starters, multi-component flour blends, weekly insights, bake streaks, starter age milestones, and beautiful share cards for your best crumbs. No subscription. No upsells. No hidden tiers. WHO IT'S FOR Home bakers who've gotten serious. You've got a named starter. You care about hydration. You know what autolyse means. You want an app that respects the craft — not a food app that happens to have a starter tab. WHAT IT ISN'T No community feed. No leaderboards. No "share your bake" pressure. No ads chasing you. This is a private, quiet tool — like a proper notebook. PRIVACY Autolyse collects no personal data. No analytics SDKs, no crash reporters of my own, no trackers.

Your sourdough does not follow the clock. RiseMate helps you decide what to do now, when your dough is likely to be ready, and what to change next time. START WITH A STRONGER ROUTINE Create starter profiles, log feedings and ratios, record flour, hydration, temperature and activity, and see when to check for the next peak. Gentle reminders keep feedings from slipping through the day. PLAN A BAKE AROUND REAL LIFE Choose when you want to bake or finish. RiseMate builds the timeline backwards—from feeding and levain through folds, bulk fermentation, cold proof, baking and cooling. Add sleep or unavailable time and adjust the plan when a step runs late. READ THE DOUGH, NOT ONLY THE TIMER Instead of pretending fermentation ends at one exact minute, RiseMate gives you an earliest, likely and latest readiness window, a confidence level, a next check time, and physical signs to verify. Record rise, bubbles, edge shape, wobble, strength and dough temperature to refine the guidance. KEEP EVERY STEP CLOSE Run a live bake with persistent timers, notifications, step instructions, quick notes, photos and a clear next action—even as you move through the rest of the app. BUILD RECIPES WITH BAKER'S MATH Work in grams or baker's percentages. Calculate hydration, prefermented flour, inoculation, levain builds and dough scaling while keeping flour and water contributions normalized. LEARN FROM EVERY LOAF Save loaf and crumb photos, ratings, notes and actual timings. Compare bakes, spot patterns only when enough data exists, and choose one measurable experiment for your next loaf. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU BAKE • Beginner-friendly defaults with advanced controls when you want them • Metric and US customary units • Light and dark themes • Local-first guest mode—no account required for core use • Optional account for supported sync features • iPhone and iPad support • Accessibility and reduced-motion support RiseMate's fermentation estimates are guidance, not guarantees. Always verify readiness with the dough's physical signs and use your own food-safety judgment. RiseMate is free to download with optional Premium access for expanded limits, Smart Fermentation detail, advanced planning, unlimited tracking, and deeper insights.
