Better Sourdough
Your loaf, step by step
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Slide to set your dough, pick when you want to bake, and follow simple steps until your bread comes out of the oven. No math, no account, no emails.
Baking sourdough shouldn't take a spreadsheet. Better Sourdough does the math, plans the bake around your day and walks you through every step until your bread comes out of the oven.
NO MATH NEEDED
Slide a finger up or down on flour, water or starter and the app works out the rest: hydration, salt and the total weight, in grams. Tell it your starter in one tap. Nothing to type, nothing to calculate.
BAKE WHEN IT SUITS YOU
Pick when you want the bread in the oven, today or tomorrow morning, and the app plans everything back from there, from your kitchen and fridge temperatures. You can see at a glance which steps land while you sleep.
SIMPLE TO FOLLOW
Before you start, you see every step with its time: mixing, each stretch & fold, shaping, into the fridge, preheating, lid on, lid off and out of the oven.
WITH YOU UNTIL IT'S BAKED
Start the bake and the app shows what to do now, what to look for and how long until the next step. Tap each step when it's done. Running late, skipping a fold or chilling the dough early? The plan simply adjusts around your real dough, and "Change of plans" shows what a choice does to your oven time before you make it.
A NUDGE WHEN IT'S TIME
Your bake shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and optional reminders tell you when the next step is due. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone; nothing is sent from a server.
NO ACCOUNT, NO EMAILS
There's nothing to sign up for. Your bakes stay on your device, we never ask for your email and we never send you marketing. Usage statistics are anonymous and never linked to you.
FROM THE BAKER
Hey, I'm Mike, and I love baking with sourdough. I made this app for myself: a way to keep track of my bakes and easily get to the best bread I can make at home, while being, admittedly, always a bit forgetful.
It's built to be used with your thumb, the only finger I can keep dough-free while kneading. I keep working on it to make it better and easier to use, and I hope you'll like it too. Happy baking!
