FAQs
Questions from the proofing basket
Is DoughBro free?
Yes. DoughBro is free to download on iOS and Android — no subscriptions, no nonsense.
Will it actually remind me to feed my starter?
That's the whole point. Set a feeding schedule, name your starter if you like, and DoughBro will nudge you when it's time. Push notifications keep Gerald (or whatever you've called yours) alive.
Can I time a bake, not just a feed?
Yes. Open a recipe, start the cook timers, and DoughBro alerts you at each stage — mix, fold, proof, bake — so you stop guessing.
Do I need a web account?
No. DoughBro is a native iOS and Android app. There is no web calculator or dashboard. Create an account in the app to sync your starter log, recipes, and timers.
Where do I get help if something's off?
Check the Help Centre, or send a note from the Contact page. We're bakers too — we'll get back to you.
Ready to stop killing your starter?
DoughBro is free, friendly, and genuinely makes sourdough less of a mystery. Give it a go — your starter's been waiting.
