• Notifications with a 10-minute heads-up before the end of each phase

CALCULATIONS
• Yeast formula based on temperature, time and hydration, with equivalent hours for cold fermentation
• Water temperature from room, flour and mixer temperatures

Coming from version 1.x? Timers no longer move to the next phase on their own: when a phase ends they ask you to confirm, so the timing follows what you actually do.
