Your sourdough starter is a living thing. Fermie turns it into a companion. The face IS the diagnosis: when Fermie looks hungry, your real starter is hungry. When it glows, it's at its peak — time to bake. No charts to read, no guesswork. One glance and you know. RAISE IT FROM FLOUR AND WATER Making a starter from scratch takes about ten days, and days 3–4 are where everyone quits. Fermie walks you through every feeding, explains the weird smells before they scare you, and celebrates the first real bubbles with you. IT REMEMBERS SO YOU DON'T Reminders follow your starter's actual rhythm — every day on the counter, once a week in the fridge, adjusted to your kitchen's temperature. And the fridge is not a punishment: it's a cozy nap with a wool cap. BAKE REAL BREAD Guided recipes that unlock as your starter matures — from a forgiving weekend focaccia to loaves a young starter couldn't lift. Every step scheduled ("bread ready Saturday 6 pm"), with timers and reminders. Plus a whole book of discard recipes, because throwing flour away hurts. STRAIGHT TO YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets show how your starter is doing and when it's time to feed — without opening the app. A FAMILY Name it. Dress it up as it earns XP. And when it's strong, gift a descendant: Fermie prints an adoption certificate with a QR code that carries the whole family line. Your friend scans it, and generation 3 is born with its history intact. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. Your starter lives on your device, period. — SUBSCRIPTION — Fermie Premium: 7 days free, then $14.99/year or $1.99/month. Cancel anytime in Settings.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Reminders now arrive when they should. If your starter was hungry and Fermie stayed quiet, that's fixed — the feeding schedule is rebuilt every time you open the app, and permission is asked before anything gets scheduled. The mixing and feeding tutorials got hand-drawn illustrations for every step. Also: everything fits properly on smaller iPhones. No more buttons hiding below the edge or text cut off mid-sentence.
