Making the perfect loaf of sourdough bread requires a healthy starter which can be tricky to get right, so the 'Breadwinner' is positioned as a solution for bakers to help optimize the process. The device works by being positioned on top of a jar with the starter inside and will go to work tracking various metrics to let the baker know when it's ready for use. The app-connected functionality will send a notification directly to the smartphone of the baker to let them know the moment it's time to start baking.
The 'Breadwinner' device is presently in the public prototyping phase and is expected to be fine-tuned through this process to have it ready for the mass market in the near future.
