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.
