SkyHigh Baking
High Altitude Baking Converter
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Baking at elevation used to be trial and error. Not anymore. SkyHigh Baking reads your recipe, figures out your altitude, and explains what to change and why, so you can bake with more confidence.
How it works
Photograph a recipe, use a screenshot, upload a file, or paste the text in. SkyHigh Baking reads it on-device, asks you to confirm a few details, then adjusts ingredient amounts, oven temperature, and bake time for your baking location. Find your altitude with your location, look it up by ZIP or postal code, or enter it by hand. If a recipe was already adjusted for altitude, enter its source altitude and convert it to where you are now.
Built for real baking, not just a calculator
- Photo and file import with on-device text recognition, so you never have to type out a whole recipe by hand
- Automatic altitude detection, or enter your altitude, ZIP code, or postal code
- Convert recipes between their source altitude and your baking location
- Choose Metric or US Customary measurements; supported ingredients can convert between volume and weight
- Ingredient-by-ingredient adjustments for flour, leavening, sugar, liquid, and more, not just a blanket "add more flour"
- Works with recipes measured in cups and spoons. Weight-based amounts stay weight-based unless a supported ingredient density allows volume conversion
- Oven temperature and bake-time guidance tailored to your elevation band
- Your recipe's own steps, with the new temperature and bake time written right in
- Pan-material refinements for more precise oven guidance
- Clear "why" explanations for every change, so you understand the science and not just the numbers
- Water's actual boiling point at your elevation, and why it matters for what you're baking
- Converts and saves recipes without an internet connection. Favorites updates and recipe suggestions need one
- Universal app, full support for iPhone and iPad
- Send a converted recipe to your paired Apple Watch for offline reference
Not just a calculator for your own recipes
- Publisher's Favorites: browse recipes from the publisher and convert them for your altitude, no typing required
- My Recipes: save any conversion and come back to it later. Reopen it exactly as saved, or recalculate it if you're baking somewhere new. Deleted one by mistake? It stays in Recently Deleted for 30 days
- Learn: a plain-language reference on the science of baking at elevation, covering boiling point, leavening, yeast, oven technique, and more
- Suggest a saved recipe to the publisher for review. You choose whether to include its first photo, enter a contact email, and confirm before it is sent to the private review queue
Built for how you actually bake
Dark mode, adjustable text size, and VoiceOver support mean SkyHigh Baking works whether you're squinting at a phone with flour on your hands or propping an iPad up as a kitchen reference.
Your privacy, respected
No account is needed to convert or save recipes. Your recipes and saved history stay on your device unless you choose to suggest a saved recipe to the publisher. A suggestion includes the recipe you review, your contact email, and the first saved photo only if you leave photo sharing on. It goes to a private review queue; the publisher decides separately whether to add it to Favorites. No ads, analytics, or tracking.
Honest pricing
One-time purchase, no subscription. Everything in the app when you buy it is yours for good, and updates to it are free. Some future features may be offered as optional one-time add-ons. You'll never need one to keep using what you already have.
Whether you bake at home in Denver or somewhere else above sea level, SkyHigh Baking helps take the guesswork out of high-altitude baking.
