About

Knead

Features
Read full description

Knead is the order book and kitchen calendar for home bakers and cottage food businesses โ€” and this app puts the whole thing in your apron pocket. THE COUNTER greets you with what matters today: fresh inquiries, orders due, and gentle heads-ups (an invoice aging, a regular worth thanking). THE BOARD keeps every order moving. Quote it, take the deposit, bake it, hand it off. Each move is one tap, and your website availability updates itself. SWEET SPOT shows your month at a glance. Light days, busy days, full days. Blocking a getaway weekend takes two taps, and your order form respects it instantly. INVOICES & THE JAR: send an invoice from the kitchen, share a pay link by text, and watch payments land. SNAP & CREATE: point the camera at a recipe card (grandma's handwriting included) and Knead turns it into a costed, scalable recipe. Receipts become expenses the same way. Knead is made for the baker who runs the show solo. So warnings stay loud, but you can always break your own rules. Knead offers optional Starter and Growth subscriptions as monthly auto-renewable in-app purchases. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store subscription settings.
