Autolyse
A precise sourdough tracker. It reads your starter's ferment as a live curve and predicts peak from your kitchen temperature — so you know when it's actually ready to bake, not just when you fed it last. Pay once, no ads, no subscriptions.
Why this app exists
Sourdough apps generally fall into two camps: dry utilities that ask you to remember what "hydration" means, or all-in-one bloated food apps that happen to have a starter tab. Neither respects the craft.
Autolyse is built for serious home bakers. It models the real variable that decides when your dough is ready — kitchen temperature — and uses it to predict peak. It keeps a bake journal worth re-reading next Sunday. It does not nag, upsell, or send your data anywhere.
Features worth calling out
Temperature-aware peak prediction free
Log kitchen temp when you feed. Autolyse models fermentation rate and tells you a realistic peak window — not a generic "6 hours".

Real bake journal free
Stage-by-stage timing (same-day or overnight), crumb photos, ratings, and notes you'll actually re-read.
