RiseMate vs StarterLog

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. Available plans, eligibility, trial terms and localized prices are shown before purchase.

StarterLog is a sourdough starter log built for bakers who are tired of paying a subscription for what should be a simple feeding log. Log a feeding in seconds — ratio, flour, water and temperature — and start the rise timer with one tap. A Live Activity tracks the rise on your Lock Screen; mark it peaked and the rise duration is saved to that feeding automatically. Tell the bake planner when you want the bread ready, and it counts back through feed, rise, mix, bulk ferment and bake to show exactly when to start — based on your own starter's recent rise times, not a guess. FEEDING LOG - Track one or more named starters, each with its own feeding history - Log ratio, flour type, water amount and temperature per feeding - Feeding reminders on a schedule you set - Attach a photo to any feeding from your Photos library RISE TIMER - A Live Activity that tracks the rise after every feeding - One tap to mark it peaked — the rise duration is logged automatically - Every estimate shows its arithmetic: "from your last 3 rises, 4h 10m – 6h 30m" BAKE PLANNER - Enter when the bread should be ready and get a full count-back schedule: feed, rise, mix, bulk ferment, bake - Built from your starter's own rise history, not a generic timetable BAKER'S TOOLS - Hydration and levain calculator, independent of the log - A home-screen widget showing the active starter's last feed and next feeding due PRICE StarterLog is free to download. Logging feedings, the rise timer Live Activity, feeding reminders, and the hydration and levain calculator are free forever, for one starter. A single one-time purchase of USD 3.99 — StarterLog Unlimited — adds unlimited starters, the bake planner, the photo log and the widget. No subscription, no ads, ever. No AI scan, either: StarterLog reads your starter's health from the log you already keep, not a photo classifier. No account. No tracking. Your data stays on your device.
