Log what goes into each feeding: pick the main flour, add a little whole wheat, rye, barley or a flour you name, with grams if you like. You can also note how much starter you discarded. Both show in your history and the export. Plan a bake at other ratios: tap "Other ratio" and type one, like 1:3:3. Clearer safety advice: a rotten smell now tells you to throw the starter out and start fresh. Fixed: the export now labels room temperature in your unit (°F or °C).

Know when your starter peaks, and plan your bake around it. Log a feeding to see when your starter should peak. Tap "It's peaking now" when it does, and the app learns its timing. To bake, pick your mix time: the app suggests when to feed and at what ratio, then reminds you to feed and check the jar. Fridge starters get a wake-up plan. Also new: export your records and photos from Settings as CSV and JSON. Fixed: new starters saying they were fed before their first feeding.

Your starter has come to life. It now shows how it feels — content, bubbling at its peak, hungry, or under the weather — right on its card. Tap it and it tells you. It also speaks in its own voice in reminders. Log your first feeding, bake your first loaf, or reach 100 days and it celebrates with you. A new "Our story" section on each starter keeps its biography: age, feedings, loaves baked together, and where it came from. Bakers who prefer the classic look can turn all of this off in Settings. Purchase confirmation on iOS now shows instantly.

Started with a dried starter? Now you can say so. When you add a starter, tell the app you began from dried — you'll get a revival guide written for that, instead of the 14-day plan for building one from flour and water. Reviving skips the wild-yeast stage, so the days and the signs to watch for are different. Text across the app is also easier to read, in both light and dark mode.

Under-the-hood improvements and small fixes.

Adding a starter you already have is clearer. The birth date hint — pick the day it first began — now stands out, so your starter's real age is right from the start. Plus small fixes.

Warning signs now stand out. A smell that points to possible contamination is marked clearly instead of looking like an ordinary tip. Hunger signs (vinegary, alcohol, acetone) get their own mark, so "feed it now" and "something may be wrong" no longer look the same. Plus small fixes.

Behind-the-scenes improvements for a smoother experience.

The 14-Day Starter Guide now counts calendar days, so the day rolls over at midnight instead of at the exact time you created your starter. The guide also shows which starter the day count is based on, and picks your most recent starter when opened from the beginner guide.

The feeding calculator now remembers your starter amount instead of resetting to 50g every time. Open it from a specific starter and it keeps a separate amount for each starter. Open it from the home screen and it remembers your last-used amount.

Added clearer starter-level tracking. You can now keep Quick Notes visible on each starter’s main screen. Creation Day is now shown separately in History and Calendar, so your starter’s first day is not counted as a feeding. Feeding calculator access is easier from starter details and feeding logs, with additional polish and reliability improvements.

Added more flexible starter tracking. You can now save custom flour and ingredient options, including bread flour, potato starters, or your own preferred mix. Feeding logs and Quick Health Checks now support optional consistency and texture notes, with trends shown in Stats. Also includes clearer guidance for adding historical entries and iOS lifecycle compatibility improvements.

Improved photo reliability across starter, feeding, health check, and bake logs. This update makes photo storage and recovery more robust, especially when app storage changes after an iOS update or reinstall. Also includes small backup and restore improvements for photo attachments.

Fixed a rare startup issue. Improved backup reliability.

Sourdough Starter now speaks your language. This update adds full localization for Deutsch, Français, Italiano, and Español. Every screen, button, tip, and notification — translated. Pick your preferred language from Settings > Appearance, or let the app follow your device automatically. Plus small under-the-hood improvements.

- Added Gluten-Free / Rice as a flour type option

Bug fixes & improvements • Fixed an issue where Fahrenheit temperatures incorrectly triggered a high-temperature warning • Added 1:5:5 as a default feeding ratio • Custom ratios can now be saved and reused from the ratio picker • Feeding date is now limited to on or after your starter's creation date
