Banneton: Sourdough Starter

Keep your starter alive and bake better bread.

Banneton tracks every feed, reminds you when a starter is due, does the baker's math, and plans your bake day around your kitchen and your calendar. By feel and by numbers. It works offline and needs no account.

FEED TRACKING THAT FITS YOUR DAY
- Log a feed in one tap from the app, the Home Screen widget, your Apple Watch, or by asking Siri
- Every starter reads fed, due, or overdue, and reminders follow its own interval and pause in the fridge
- Keep a feeding streak and see your rhythm over the last 30 days
- Lock Screen widgets and watch complications keep the next feed in view
- See when each feed should peak, so you mix at the top of the rise
- New, or reviving a dried starter? A day-by-day plan says what to do and what to expect
- Share a starter with your household: anyone can log a feed, and a feed moves everyone's reminder

THE BAKER'S MATH
- Work out hydration from flour and water, or the water you need to hit a target hydration
- Full baker's percentage calculator with salt, starter, and recipe scaling to any loaf count
- Seven tested recipes, from a country loaf to discard crackers, each timed for its own bake day
- Pre-ferment calculator for levain, poolish, biga, and sponge
- Dough temperature: how warm the water needs to be to hit your target
- Save and reopen your formulas, or import one you already have
- Grams or ounces, Celsius or Fahrenheit

PLAN THE WHOLE BAKE DAY
- Say when you want bread out of the oven, or when you can start, and how warm your dough is
- It lays out autolyse, bulk, pre-shape, proof, and bake, timed for your recipe and dough temperature
- Push the rest of the day back when life happens, and every timer follows
- Connect your calendar, read only and kept on your device: Banneton flags hands-on steps that clash with an event or your night, then finds start times that fit
- A timer for every stage, with a Live Activity counting down on your Lock Screen

A JOURNAL THAT MAKES THE NEXT LOAF BETTER
- Save each bake with crumb photos, a rating, and notes
- Leave yourself a note and it returns when you plan that recipe again; share a card of the crust, crumb, and numbers
- Insights show how your loaves trend, and the hydration and dough temperature your best ones share
- Export everything to CSV whenever you want it

LEARN AS YOU GO
- A glossary and starter basics, free
- A troubleshooting library for flat loaves, dense or gummy crumb, and sour bread

PRIVATE BY NATURE
- Everything lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud
- No account, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking, no data sale
