The Loafy Sense smart sourdough device on a kitchen counter.

Coming soon · Loafy Sense

Never guess when your starter is ready again.

We're building Loafy's first smart device — a completely new way to monitor your sourdough. It reads your starter's activity directly and tells you the exact moment it peaks. The most reliable readiness signal there is. No float tests, no rubber bands, no guessing.

We're in early proof-of-concept and heading to Kickstarter later this year.

We'll only email you about Loafy Sense. Unsubscribe with one click.

How Loafy Sense works

01

Pop it on your jar

Set it up on the starter jar you already use. It takes seconds — no new routine to learn.

02

It reads your starter

It continuously senses your starter's activity around the clock, so nothing gets missed while you sleep.

03

Get the green light

Loafy tells you the exact moment your starter peaks and is ready to bake — right in the app.
