Sourdough Tracker ist die deutsche Alternative zu Loaflo: Hosting in Deutschland, deutscher Vertragspartner, deutsches Recht. Drei Dinge, die aus gutem Grund zusammenreisen - jedes für sich allein wäre nur ein halbes Versprechen.

At a glance

Loaflo is a polished app with a large community and it deserves credit for popularising sourdough tracking. The friction point that shows up most in user reviews is its paywall: core features like reminders and full history access sit behind a subscription, which rankles bakers who just want a reliable journal. Sourdough Tracker is a direct alternative: free tier covers everything a home baker needs (unlimited feed logs, photo journaling, rise % tracking, per-starter sharing), AI health analysis is available on the free tier with a monthly quota, and the data stays EU-hosted. The honest answer: if you're already in Loaflo and it's working for you, there's no pressing reason to switch. If you hit the paywall and it annoyed you — or if per-starter sharing and EU hosting matter — Sourdough Tracker is worth a look.

Deutsche Alternative

Drei Säulen, die zusammenreisen

Hosting in Deutschland allein bedeutet wenig, wenn der Vertragspartner eine Delaware LLC ist - der CLOUD Act hängt am Sitz, nicht am Server. Deutscher Vertragspartner allein bedeutet wenig, wenn die Server in Virginia stehen - das Zugriffs-Risiko liegt dort. Deutsches Recht allein bedeutet wenig, wenn beide oben fehlen - der Gerichtsstand löst das Datenproblem nicht. Sourdough Tracker bringt alle drei zusammen: dedizierte Server in Deutschland, Einzelunternehmer Finn Glas mit Sitz in 72461 Tailfingen, deutsches Recht im Vertrag. Die Lücke zu Loaflo ist meistens, dass eine dieser Säulen fehlt.
