Crusty: Bread Baking Planner

Good bread takes a day or two. Crusty makes it fit around yours.

Tell Crusty when you want to eat, and it works backward through the levain, the folds, the shaping, and a night in the fridge. Every hands-on moment lands when you’re awake and free. If your time can’t work, it says so, offers the soonest one that can, and suggests what would make it sooner. Or just tap Start now.

PLANS THAT FIT YOUR WEEK
• Pick a time, or start right now
• Milder or tangier: more time in the fridge, same ready time
• Folds and shaping never land while you’re asleep
• Log a step early or late and the rest of the bake replans

TWO BAKES, ONE OVEN
• Run up to three bakes at once
• Crusty keeps them from needing the oven at the same time

YOUR CALENDAR COUNTS
• Crusty works around meetings in the calendars you choose
• Optionally add your bake to a Crusty calendar

WHILE YOU BAKE
• A reminder for every step and fold, with log and snooze buttons
• Lock Screen countdown and Home Screen widgets
• Cook mode: big type, screen stays on
• Siri: “Log the next step in Crusty”

ON YOUR WRIST AND YOUR IPAD
• Apple Watch: the next step, a live countdown, and one tap for Folded or Done
• Watch complications for every face; log a starter feed from your wrist
• On iPad, the whole bake sits beside what’s next

STARTERS THAT LEARN
• Keep one starter or several, each with its own schedule
• Predicted peaks that get closer every time you mark one
• Know when to feed so it’s ripe as the levain goes in
• “Is it ready?” check and a starter guide

YOUR RECIPES
• Country sourdough, whole wheat, pizza, focaccia, challah, brioche, and bagels
• Write your own in grams or cups, import from a link or pasted text, and share with friends
• Baker’s percentages: scale and tweak, and the timing follows

A BAKE LOG THAT TEACHES
• Real step times, dough temperatures, photos, and how it turned out
• Plain-language patterns across bakes, and side-by-side comparisons
• Search, tags, spreadsheet export, and full backups
