Sourdough Rising: Starter Log

AI Bake Judges & Rise Tracker

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Judge your bakes! Sourdough Rise turns your starter log into something that actually explains your bakes — and now plans them too. FEED, LOG, REPEAT • Log every feed — ratio, flour, hydration, and ambient temperature, confirmed with one tap and never silently guessed • Feeding strategies — daily, warm kitchen, revive a sluggish starter, bake-day boost — set the ratio and the timing together • Keep more than one starter, each with its own name and its own history • Private notes that stay on your device — never uploaded, never shared • Local feeding reminders, so nothing goes hungry SEE YOUR STARTER'S RHYTHM Mark when a feed peaks and Sourdough Rise builds your starter's own rhythm strip — a quick visual read on whether today's rise is fast, typical, or slow compared to ITS history, not a stranger's. Once it has a few peaks, it predicts the next one, and accounts for the feeding ratio you used. RECIPES TO START FROM Begin from a library of 20 recipes, each crediting and linking the published recipe its numbers come from: • Pizza — Neapolitan, New York, Detroit, Sicilian, Roman pinsa, and poolish and biga doughs • Focaccia, baguettes, bagels, soft pretzels and English muffins • Sandwich loaf, brioche, cinnamon rolls, whole wheat and rye • Sourdough discard crackers and pancakes Every one becomes your own recipe to change. Scale by loaves, by pizza size, by pan, or by batch — in grams, or in inches and ounces. PLAN AROUND YOUR DAY • Plan backwards from when you want to eat; the levain step is timed from your own starter's peaks, not a recipe's guess • An estimate of how long bulk fermentation will take — and how much levain to use for a 10-hour overnight bulk • Cold ferments keep the range their recipe allows, so you can see how early or how late you can start • A reminder at every step, and a big Now card for floury hands, with "Running late?" when the day slips • This week: every planned bake on one timeline, oven clashes flagged, a shopping list, and how much levain to build each day AI STARTER CHECK-UP Snap a photo and an AI reads rise multiple, bubble structure, and hooch, and flags discard signals — mold, pink or orange streaks — conservatively. A couple dollars of flour is cheap insurance. Every AI read is labeled clearly as AI, never dressed up as a diagnosis. JUDGES' CORNER — five named AI judges, one bake Photograph a finished loaf and five AI specialists each read their own angle, in their own voice: • Marguerite — crumb structure • Tobias — crust • Emilio — oven spring • Birdie — shaping and scoring • Hana — starter health, as it shows in the bake No numeric grades, no crowd, no simulated "other users" — just five specific reads you can act on. Share a judged bake with a public link you control and can revoke anytime. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Rate your own bakes on crumb, crust, rise and flavour, link them to the recipe you used, and see how that recipe is going over time — kept apart from the judges' reads. BAKER'S MATH • Hydration and baker's percentages, counting the water hidden in milk, eggs and butter • A levain calculator that works in either direction — from a target amount, or from what you already have on the counter • The water temperature to hit your target dough temperature WHAT'S FREE Feeding, reminders, your rhythm strip, the recipe library, planning, and your full history are free — always. A few AI assessments are free every week. Sourdough Rise Premium unlocks unlimited AI starter checks and unlimited Judges' Corner reads, as a single annual subscription.
