Bread app with baker's percentages calculator and baking journal
Hi
I recently started baking and found myself resorting to spreadsheets to recalculate ingredients after changing total volume or percentages. I guess I'm not the only one doing that!
I made an app that's easier to use than a spreadsheet. I've made all the loaves in there so I know they work ok, but I haven't thoroughly tested the app and it may have glitches.
Because I find it useful, I thought I'd share it here in case anyone else is helped by it:
https://bread-recipes.glideapp.io
If you do try using it, let me know how it goes.
I wrote about what the app does in this article:

Nicely done, that is pretty slick.
Thanks!
Looks very interesting. The link says the app has reached its usage limit and to contact the author for upgrade. BTW, are you planning to develop it commercially?
Hi Dudley
Thanks for taking a look! You should be able to have a go with the app from the weekend because my monthly usage limits will reset. If that's of interest, I can message you here again then as a reminder.
As context, I'm not a developer. I made the app using a no code tool (called Glide) and just wanted to share it because I find it useful. Really I'm just a keen baker (instagram.com/charlietmail).
At this point, I'm the only person using it (every day!). If others find it useful and would like ongoing access, I'd need to charge a price to cover the cost of expanding access (ie the cost I'd need to pay to Glide).
In the short term while doing any development, I think I can keep it running for free.
Hope that all makes sense and thank you again for asking about it!
