Levain is now free for everyone. NEW: Tip Jar If Levain has earned a place in your kitchen, you can leave an optional tip in Tools. It changes nothing in the app — it just supports one baker's work. IMPROVED • Mark Done now stays within thumb's reach — no more scrolling mid-bake. • The iCloud notice stays dismissed once you close it. • The rise tracker now flags implausible readings before you save them.

NEW: Rise Tracker Pull a small jar of dough during bulk and log its height as it rises. Levain shows your live percent rise against a 50–75% target band, so you stop ending bulk by the clock and start ending it by actual fermentation — the most reliable signal that your dough is ready. NEW: Schedule Bakes by Finish Time Plan backward from when you want bread on the table. Pick a "ready by" time and Levain works out exactly when to start mixing — with a live countdown, a notification when it's time to begin, and an automatic transition into the active timeline. Plus polish across the bake flow.

NEW: Starter Management Track your sourdough starter with detailed feeding logs, readiness indicators (peak time, rise %, float test), and health tracking. Set feeding schedules with smart reminders so you never miss a feed. NEW: 18 Recipe Templates Expanded library with Focaccia, Motif Loaves, Rye, Spelt, and more — each with bake temperatures and step-by-step timelines. NEW: Home Screen Widget See your next feeding time or active bake step at a glance without opening the app. NEW: iCloud Sync Your bakes, starters, and feeding history sync seamlessly across all your devices. Plus: Improved recipe card designs and reliability improvements throughout.
