Terms of use

LoafTime works out feeding times, rise times and bake plans from a fermentation model checked against published figures from several bakers (each tool lists its sources). Every starter, flour and kitchen is different: a time is an estimate, and the range around it is where most bakes fall, not a promise.

Watch the dough: when it looks ready, it is ready, whatever the clock says. The app says so on every step and lets you mark a step early or late.

Mold on a starter — fuzzy spots, pink, orange or red streaks — means throw it away, jar and all. The app never judges safety from a photo.

The gluten-free tools help you bake with gluten-free flours. They do not make a loaf safe for someone with celiac disease: cross-contact in a home kitchen is outside the app’s control.

Raw flour and raw dough are not safe to eat. Bake them fully.

The calculators are free to use. You are responsible for what you bake and for your kitchen.

Your records live on your phone. Keep your phone backed up (iCloud does this for you) — if the phone is lost without a backup, we cannot restore them, because we never had them.

If you buy LoafTime Pro in the iPhone app, Apple takes the payment and Apple’s standard licence applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. A subscription renews until you cancel it in your iPhone’s Settings, at least 24 hours before the renewal date.

In the Android app, Google Play takes the payment and its own terms apply. A subscription renews until you cancel it in Google Play › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the renewal date.

We work hard to make every number right and test every calculation against the published figures. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for a loaf that did not turn out, or for losses that come from relying on an estimate instead of your own eyes.

If these terms change, the new version is posted here with a new date.
