About this app

Sourdough Timer tells you exactly when your sourdough starter and your dough will be ready.

Enter your starter weight, hydration, flour type and kitchen temperature, and the app builds the feeding schedule and the fermentation timeline backwards from the hour you want to bake.

WHAT IT DOES
- Sourdough starter feeding schedule with exact times and gram-level flour and water amounts
- Bulk fermentation and proofing timing that adjusts to your kitchen temperature
- Reverse planning: set your bake time and get the schedule that leads to it
- Fermentation timeline with phase markers, so you know what to expect and when
- Baker notes for tracking each bake
- Works fully offline. No account, no internet needed

WHY TEMPERATURE MATTERS
Fermentation rate changes sharply with temperature. A dough that needs 4 hours at 26C can need 8 hours at 20C. Sourdough Timer models that instead of giving you one fixed number, so the schedule matches your actual kitchen instead of somebody else's.

WHO IT IS FOR
Professional bakers and serious home bakers who want reproducible sourdough instead of guesswork. Levain, country loaf, baguette, whole wheat, rye and high hydration doughs.

Note: the free version is supported by ads. Sourdough Timer Pro is ad free.
