A new tab for sourdough baking

A sourdough week runs on timing: feeding the starter, a long proof, a bake that depends on both. The recipes and baking blogs you rely on are rarely at hand when you need them. Here they are big tiles you can spot by their icons, in a Sourdough folder opened in Gallery view with the Grid layout

A proofing timer and a days-baked streak

Set the Timer widget to the length of the proof (here Final proof, 60 minutes) and start it. It keeps counting while you do something else. The Counter widget has a goal of 1 and resets every day, and with days in a row switched on it builds a streak for every day you bake. Two notes with checklists hold the feeding schedule and the shopping list, and a comment on a tile records why you saved that recipe

A calm, warm look

The background is a solid cream (#efdcc0) in the Light theme, with a serif font and an amber accent. The toolbar sits at the bottom, out of the way of the tiles. There is no photo and no pattern, so the recipes stay the loudest thing on the page

What’s free, what’s Pro

Free already covers most of it: Gallery view with the Grid layout, the Serif font, the amber accent and notes with checklists. Pro adds the workspace, the solid color background, the Timer and the Counter
