Your sourdough starter is alive — now it has feelings too. Feed it, knead with music, bake loaves, and watch your pixel pet thrive.
Meet your new best friend: a pixel-art sourdough starter that eats, sleeps, and needs your love.
Sourdough Pet turns the daily ritual of caring for a real sourdough starter into a cozy virtual-pet experience. Adopt a starter, feed it on schedule, knead dough to your favorite Spotify tracks, and bake beautiful loaves — all while your adorable pixel pet reacts to how well you care for it.
ADOPT & NAME YOUR STARTER
Pick a name for your sourdough starter, choose its storage container, and set a feeding schedule that fits your life. Your pet starts as a tiny blob and grows as you level up.
DAILY FEEDING
Log your feedings with flour type, hydration ratio, and optional notes. Your starter's mood changes based on how consistently you feed it — keep it happy or watch it get hangry.
BAKE DAY
When your starter is strong enough, it's time to bake! Follow guided phases from mixing to cooling, with a music-powered kneading timer. Connect Spotify and knead to your favorite songs — the timer ensures you knead long enough.
YOUR PET REACTS
Five moods — happy, content, hungry, sleepy, and neglected — drive your pixel pet's expressions and animations. Idle bounces, sparkle effects, sleepy Z's, and more bring your starter to life.
PIXEL ART STYLE
Gorgeous retro pixel-art sprites in the classic virtual-pet tradition. Five unlockable pet designs: Blobby, Baguette, Pretzel, Croissant, and Brioche. Each with unique animations for every mood.
JOURNAL & STREAKS
Track your feeding history on a calendar heatmap and browse a photo gallery of your loaves. Build feeding streaks, earn XP, and level up your starter.
KNEADING WITH MUSIC
Connect your Spotify account and browse playlists, search for songs, or pick from your favorites. The kneading timer keeps you on track while you jam.
PRIVACY FIRST
All your data stays on your device. No accounts required, no personal data collected, no tracking. Anonymous analytics help us improve the app — that's it.
