Batch
Live Ferments

Batch was conceived from the world of sourdough and baking, and is designed to become a hub for all fermentation processes like kefir or kombucha. Batch centers ongoing activities, steps, reminders, and work histories to keep track of every process and every important activity.

The problem

Existing baking and fermentation tools generally fall into two categories: recipe archives and community apps. What was missing was an operational tool: something that answered a single question, at any moment. What do I need to do right now?

The solution

The experience is built to answer a very simple question: what is the next thing to do. From here comes a planner-first structure where the home is a space that sorts what’s ongoing, overdue, or upcoming. Step-by-step recipes, timers, timelines, and local notifications work together to support the real progression of the process.

App Architecture

Batch is organized around three distinct areas.

Today

Homepage with all reminders, ongoing processes, and upcoming actions to perform.

Fermentations

Hub for active preparations, sourdough starters, kefir batches.

Guides

Editorial content offering tips and useful information, contextually linked as the app’s internal glossary.

UX/UI

From a UX/UI perspective, Batch was designed as an essential system. Each card has a single primary action, statuses are instantly recognizable, advanced content appears only when needed, and the visual hierarchy always highlights the most relevant task. The interface avoids both the rustic tone common to many bread-related apps and an overly technical or laboratory look. The result seeks a more balanced approach: native, clean, and functional. The product architecture follows the same logic of simplicity, with local notifications, offline supporting content, and a native iOS structure designed to work without unnecessary dependencies.

Result

The result is an app that makes a process, which evolves over time and never follows a perfectly linear logic, more understandable and manageable. Batch brings together product vision, operational UX, visual system, and native development in a coherent direction. The value of the project lies precisely in this continuity: brand, interface, behavior, and implementation do not operate as separate layers, but as parts of the same system. The outcome is an essential, clear, and useful tool, built around a concrete need.
