CrumbNote is a batch journal for sourdough — every feed, fold, and crumb shot, tracked. So you finally figure out which variable made the difference.
We're building it now. The waitlist gets first slice.
Same recipe, one week apart. Look at what actually changed.
Dense, tight crumb. Barely any oven spring.
Open crumb, real ear. The good one.
You changed three things last weekend — a new bag of flour, a warmer kitchen, an extra hour of bulk. The loaf got better. So which change did it? Without the log, you'll never know — and you'll change all three again next time. CrumbNote exists so one highlighted line answers the question.
Four tools, one bench. Here's what the journal will do.
Every step time-stamped: feed → autolyse → bulk → shape → bake. Scrub back through any loaf and see exactly when each thing happened.
Type your flour and water; baker's percentage is computed live. Dial in a target before your hands hit the dough.
Your starter, fed on time, with rise tracked feed to feed — so you bake when it's at peak, not whenever you remember.
Put any two bakes next to each other; the variables that differ are highlighted automatically. The diff is the insight.
Planned, not final — but waitlist members lock in the founding price for as long as they stay.
It's in the oven now — CrumbNote is in active development, and there's no app to download yet. Join the waitlist and you'll be first to hear when early access opens.
Early access before public launch, the founding price locked for as long as you stay subscribed, and a vote on which variables we build tracking for first.
Yes — baker's percentages are the core data model, not a bolt-on calculator. Every flour, water, salt, and levain figure is stored as a percentage of total flour, so any two bakes compare cleanly.
Yes. Your starter is its own record — feed times, ratios, and rise — kept apart from individual bakes, so you can see how starter health tracks against your crumb.
Sourdough first, because that's where variable-chasing hurts most. Yeasted bread, pizza dough, and other ferments are on the roadmap — same batch-journal discipline.
Still in development. No app to download yet — the waitlist hears first, and gets the founding price.
