LoafNote: Sourdough Baking
Starter tracker and bake timer
Free · In‑App Purchases
Your first month is on us! The whole app, free for a full month. No starter yet? LoafNote walks you through making one.
Sourdough runs on your kitchen's temperature, not the recipe writer's clock. Tell LoafNote when you want warm bread and it plans the whole bake backward from that moment, tuned to your kitchen and scheduled around your sleep.
PLAN THE BAKE BACKWARD
Pick a finish time. LoafNote works back through every step: when to feed, when to mix, when to shape, including cold proofs. If a schedule would have you folding dough at 3am, it bends the plan so the work lands while you're awake. When that isn't possible, it says so.
BULK THAT WATCHES THE TEMPERATURE
Tell LoafNote your kitchen temperature and it adjusts the bulk window with guidance for every rise along the way.
YOUR STARTER, LOOKED AFTER
Keep one starter or several. LoafNote tracks each feed and shows you at a glance whether a starter is hungry, rising, or at peak, so it's ready when you are.
NO STARTER YET? MAKE ONE
Mix flour and water and LoafNote takes it from there: what to feed each day, what the jar should look like, and why the quiet day 4 is normal. In about a week, a readiness check walks you through the signs that it can raise bread.
A NUDGE WHEN IT'S TIME
Start a bake and put the phone down. Step timers and reminders tell you when the dough needs you, and the current step sits on your lock screen with its countdown running.
RUN MORE THAN ONE BAKE
A boule for Saturday and a focaccia for tonight can run side by side. Each bake keeps its own timers and its own lock screen countdown, and Home lists every active bake in one place. When the day gets away from you, pause a step and resume when you're back at the counter.
RECIPES WITHOUT THE SCROLLING
Paste a link, paste text, or import from a photo. You get the ingredients and timed steps, with hydration and baker's percentages worked out with everything measured in grams. Your recipes stay on your phone forever and you can share them with friends with one tap!
EVERY LOAF TEACHES THE NEXT
Rate the crumb and note what you'd change. That note greets you the next time you start the same recipe.
LEARN BEFORE BAKING
New to sourdough? A built-in course walks you through the basics, and a glossary covers the terms bakers actually use. No question is too small.
FREE FOR A MONTH
Try everything free for a month. Long enough to wake a starter up and put a few real bakes behind you. After that, LoafNote is $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, and the subscription includes the whole app. What you're paying for is the planning: a schedule built backward from when you want bread, bent around your sleep, with bulk timing tuned to your kitchen. A timer alone doesn't do that. No ads, no account needed, and your baking data stays on your device.

Starting a starter from scratch now shows the whole week at a glance: each day on a strip, today marked, with one line on what to do. Feed reminders begin the moment you set up a starter, and tapping one takes you straight to the feed form.
