What it does

A quiet kitchen tool, not a chatbot.

SourdoughAI works the way a good baker works — by paying attention. It tracks your kitchen, your starter, and your schedule, then tells you exactly when to do the next step.

  • Aware of your kitchen

    Tracks ambient temperature, dough temperature, and humidity. Adjusts every step accordingly.

  • Precise fermentation timing

    No more 'four to six hours.' Get specific time estimates for bulk, shape, and proof.

  • Recipes that adapt

    Scale any recipe up or down. Substitute flours. The math is handled for you.

  • Quiet by design

    No notifications you didn't ask for. No distracting marketing. Just the next thing to do.

The process

From flour and water to the loaf you wanted.

  1. 01

    Day-by-day guidance from the first mix to a starter that doubles reliably.

  2. 02

    Mix and autolyse

  3. 03

    Bulk fermentation

    Folds at the right intervals. End of bulk predicted by your dough's behavior.

What bakers say

The bread you've been trying to bake for years — actually rising.

"I'd been making mediocre sourdough for two years. Three weeks with the app and the bread is unrecognizable."
Sarah M. Portland, OR
"The fermentation timing for my climate is uncanny. It just knows when my dough is ready."
Mike T. Asheville, NC
"I went from 'this loaf is okay' to 'this loaf is genuinely great' in under a month."

FAQ

Practical questions, plain answers.

Have a question we haven't answered? Read the journal or contact us.

Do I need any sourdough experience to start?
No. The app guides absolute beginners through building their first starter and baking their first loaf. Experienced bakers can skip ahead and use the timing and recipe tools.
What does it actually do that I can't do with a recipe book?
It computes fermentation times for your specific kitchen temperature, your starter's strength, and your flour. Recipes assume an idealized kitchen; this works in yours.
Is it just a chatbot?
No. The interface is built around timing, schedules, and step-by-step guidance. There's no chat to wade through.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Core baking features work without an internet connection. The app syncs when reconnected.
What does it cost?
The app is free. Optional in-app purchases unlock advanced recipes, longer bake history, and additional flour databases.
Will it teach me, or just tell me what to do?
Both. Each recommendation is paired with the reasoning, so you build intuition over time. After 30+ bakes, most users barely consult the app.
