About this app

Try the 1-Hour Pan Pizza free. One Pro purchase unlocks every recipe, several pizzas per cook and your own recipes, for good. No subscription, no ads.

Pizza night has one hard problem: everything has to land at the same time. Dough that proofed for two days, an oven that needs an hour to heat, sauce that should be ready with it. PieForge does the math so you don't have to.

Tell it what you're making and when you want to eat. It builds the whole timeline backward from that moment and rings a real alarm for every step, from the first mix to "remove and serve."

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick your pizza. With Pro, add several and mix styles.
2. Pick an eat time, or tap ASAP to start now.
3. Cook by the alarms. Each one tells you exactly what to do next.

BUILT BACKWARD FROM DINNER
- Choose the moment you want to eat; PieForge schedules everything before it
- Plans across days, so a three-day cold ferment is just another step
- Pro: mixing two styles? Different lead times are coordinated around your serving time
- Preview the full schedule before a single alarm is set

ONE OVEN, MANY PIES
- Pro: several pizzas are grouped into bake batches that fit your oven and racks
- Sauces linked to a recipe get their own step at the right time
- Set up your ovens once: racks, heat source, max temperature

ALARMS YOU CAN TRUST
- Alarms ring even when the phone is locked or the app is closed, with required alarm and notification permissions enabled
- Every alarm names the step. Open the active cook for instructions and ingredients
- Running late? Delay a reminder or move later steps with it
- Finish early? Eligible steps can bring later steps forward
- Optional spoken alarms announce each step while PieForge is open

RECIPES WITH TIMING BUILT IN
- Every recipe carries its own steps and timing, so there is nothing to set up on the night
- Weight-based dough recipes, with baker's percentage tools for adjusting formulas
- Start from the built-in cookbook, or write your own with Pro
- Pro: copy a recipe and adapt it to your flour, your oven, your schedule

TOOLS FOR DOUGH NERDS
- Dough calculator with baker's percentages
- Hydration and scaling calculators
- Bake logs to remember what worked
- Pro: import and export your own recipes

FREE AND PRO
PieForge is free to install. The free version includes the complete 1-Hour Cast Iron Pan Pizza and its quick sauce, with full planning and alarms for one pizza at a time. Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks the whole cookbook (New York, Chicago tavern-style, cracker-thin and pan pizza, and their sauces), cooking several pizzas at once, and your own recipes.

YOUR DATA
No account needed. Your recipes and plans live on your phone. Optional usage and crash reporting through Google Firebase helps us fix bugs. Turn it off in Settings.

WHO IT'S FOR
- Hosts who want pizza on the table when the guests sit down
- Home bakers learning long ferments and timing
- Anyone tired of juggling four kitchen timers and a notepad

Set the time. PieForge forges the plan.

What’s new

Metric cooks now see °C and grams beside °F and ounces in recipes, cook steps, alarms, the oven editor and the bake log. Finished cooks are counted once. Help can restart the tutorial again. Small fixes and Google Play compatibility updates.
