Bake by the numbers, ferment by feel.
CakeyBake turns hydration math, starter feedings, and stretch-and-fold timing into one calm, offline toolkit — so you can chase open crumb and crackling crust without the guesswork.
Every stage of the bake, tracked
From the first feed of your starter to the final crackle out of the oven, CakeyBake keeps every ratio and rise on record.
Precision Ratio Engine
Exact water, flour, starter, and salt weights for any loaf size at 60%–90%+ hydration — no mental math required.
Multi-Flour Blend Scaler
Blend whole wheat, rye, bread flour, and ancient grains while total hydration adjusts automatically.
Batch & Loaf Scaler
Scale a single boule up to a multi-loaf bake day in one tap, weights recalculated instantly.
Stretch & Fold Alarm
Step-by-step audio timers for autolyse, bulk fermentation, and coil folds — set it and walk away.
Ambient Temp Adjustment
Log room and dough temperature to dial in bulk fermentation time and proofing speed.
Visual Rise Tracker
Time-stamped progress photos through bulk rise, so you can spot peak volume by eye next time.
Starter Health Journal
Log feeding ratios like 1:1:1, 1:2:2, and 1:5:5, feeding times, flour types, and peak rise hours.
Peak Activity Alerts
Get notified right as your starter hits peak activity, so you mix dough at exactly the right moment.
Crumb & Crust Gallery
Archive high-resolution shots of your scoring, ear development, and open crumb — bake after bake.
Hydration Calculator
Set your flour weight, target hydration, starter, and salt percentages — CakeyBake works out every weight in grams, live, exactly like it does inside the app.
Built by people obsessed with the crumb
We're a small crew of home bakers and app builders who got tired of scribbling hydration math on flour-dusted notepads. CakeyBake started as a personal spreadsheet and grew into a full baking companion once we realized every sourdough baker faces the exact same problem: too many ratios to hold in your head.
Our mission is simple — take the guesswork out of dough hydration and starter feeding, so more energy goes into technique, timing, and flavor. We believe good bread comes from consistency, and consistency comes from knowing your numbers cold.
CakeyBake gives you a precision ratio engine, multi-flour blend scaling, stretch-and-fold alarms, a starter health journal, and a crumb-shot gallery — all running fully offline, so your kitchen counter is the only place your data ever lives.
Whether you're nursing your very first starter or managing a five-loaf bake day, CakeyBake is the quiet assistant standing next to your mixing bowl — never in the way, always exact.
Your dough data stays in your kitchen
CakeyBake: Sourdough & Ferment ("CakeyBake," "we," "our," "the app") was built on a simple principle: your baking notes, starter logs, and photos belong to you and only you. This Privacy Policy explains — in plain language — exactly what that means.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information, account details, usage analytics, or device identifiers. CakeyBake does not ask you to sign up, log in, or provide an email address to use the app. Every hydration calculation, starter feeding entry, temperature log, and crumb photo you create stays entirely within the app on your own device. We have no server that receives, stores, or even sees this information.
2. How We Use Information
Because we do not collect any data, we have nothing to use, analyze, profile, or monetize. We do not build usage statistics, we do not track which features you open, and we do not sell, rent, or share information with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third party — there is simply nothing to share.
3. Data Storage
All recipes, hydration calculations, multi-flour blends, starter feeding logs, stretch-and-fold timer settings, temperature notes, and crumb/crust photos are stored locally on your device using standard on-device storage. CakeyBake does not sync to a cloud service, does not maintain a backend database, and does not create backups on our servers. If you delete the app, that locally stored data is removed along with it.
4. Third-Party Services
CakeyBake does not integrate third-party analytics software, advertising networks, or behavioral trackers. The app functions with complete offline access for its core features — hydration formulas, proofing timers, and saved recipes all work with no internet connection and no outside service involved.
5. Data Security
Because your baking data never leaves your device, it is protected by the same security measures — passcode, biometric lock, encryption — that protect the rest of your phone or tablet. There is no remote database for anyone to breach, because no such database exists.
6. Children's Privacy
CakeyBake does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Since the app collects no personal data from any user, it does not gather any information from children either, in line with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
7. Your Control
There are no CakeyBake accounts to manage, no cloud profile to delete, and no data request to file — because we never had your data to begin with. If you want to remove everything CakeyBake has stored, simply delete the app from your device; all locally saved recipes, logs, and photos are removed with it.
8. Changes to This Policy
If our practices ever change, we will update this Privacy Policy and revise the Effective Date above. Since CakeyBake operates fully offline by design, any future change affecting how data is handled would be reflected here before it takes effect in a new app version.
