Why Fermentr

Track

One place for all your ferments. No more sticky notes and phone alarms.

Time

Smart scheduling shows what needs attention and when. Never miss a fold or a feed.

Learn

Rate, reflect, and improve with every batch. Turn guesswork into craft.

Built for how you actually ferment

Not another recipe app. Fermentr is a companion that understands fermentation is alive, messy, and needs timing.

Timeline

See everything at a glance

A Gantt-style timeline shows all your active ferments on one screen. See what's proofing, what's fermenting, and what needs your hands next.

Scaling

Scale any recipe instantly

Making a double batch? Half batch? Tap a preset or enter a custom multiplier — every ingredient updates in real time.

Tracking

Learn from every batch

Set a focus goal before you start, rate the result when you're done, and reflect on what worked. Your baking journal builds itself.

Dashboard

Juggle with confidence

Bread proofing, kombucha brewing, and kimchi fermenting — all on one dashboard. Know exactly what needs attention and when.

Hydration

Know your dough's hydration instantly

Fermentr automatically calculates hydration from your ingredients — no manual math. See at a glance whether you're in the standard, medium, or high-hydration zone. Drag the slider to explore what-if scenarios and remix your recipe at a new hydration level.

  • Low zone — tight crumb, easy to shape
  • Standard zone — the sweet spot for most breads
  • High zone — open crumb, ciabatta territory
