Plan it, bake it, then find out why.
Lievanto is a pizza dough coach for iPhone. It plans a bake backward from dinner, cooks it with you one step per screen, and an hour after serving reads one photo of the result. Sourdough bread, focaccia and pan pizza are fully supported.
The part no calculator does.
How did it go?
An hour after the time you planned to eat, a notification asks. Send one photo of the pizza and Leva tells you what happened, why, and the one change to make next time, with how confident she is and what she could not see. Save the verdict to that bake with one tap.
It knows your oven
Setup asks which oven you bake in, down to the model: outdoor gas and wood ovens, a stone or steel in a home oven, a deck oven. Preheat guidance and every diagnosis take it into account, because a burnt base means something different on a 450°C floor than on a home-oven steel.
Ask with dough on your hands
Tap the mic and say it. Leva transcribes the question and answers with your bake, your oven and your kitchen in mind. Or type, and attach up to three photos of the crumb, the crust or your setup. The audio is not kept.
It learns from your bakes
Every bake you log builds a picture of how your dough behaves: bulk timing, shaping, hydration. Each belief is marked observed, inferred or unknown, sits next to the bakes it counted, and can be corrected. A diagnosis reads your last five bakes of the same recipe before it answers.
Table stakes, done properly.
Plan backward from dinner
Pick when you want to eat. Lievanto works the schedule back from that time: when to mix, when to fold, when to ball, when the dough comes out of the fridge, when to preheat. Every step gets a clock and a reminder 15 minutes before.
Cook Mode
One step per screen: what to do, what to look for, and a timer you can read from across the kitchen. Tick off ingredients, note what you saw, add a photo, move on. Timers keep running if you leave the screen.
Build a bake with Leva
Describe what you want and Leva writes a complete, reviewable bake: formula, steps, timings. A quick door if you already know your kitchen, one question at a time if you are new. Nothing is saved until you accept it.
Read the flour bag
Point the camera at the bag and the flour's protein, strength and type fill in from the label, so the formula starts from what you actually bought rather than a generic number.
Check the dough, not the clock
Mid-bulk, log what you see with a few taps: volume, jiggle, temperature. The likely-ready window moves with the dough, and with the kitchen when it warms up.
The logbook
Every bake, tied to the recipe it came from: photos, a rating, notes, and the verdict if you asked for one. Charts across your bakes show what actually changed when you changed something.
The rest of the kitchen.
The calculators
A dough calculator with baker's percentages, hydration, yeast by temperature, and biga and poolish splits. A desired-dough-temperature solver and a cold-ferment yeast calculator. Five of them also run free in your browser, on this site.
Scale to your pans
Scale any formula up or down while the baker's percentages hold, or size a dough to a round, square or rectangular pan by thickness factor. Read and enter every amount in the units you think in, in °C or °F.
The starter log
Sourdough bread, focaccia and pan pizza are fully supported. Log feedings with the room temperature and, after a few, the app estimates when the jar will peak and shows the rise curve. Confirm with dome, bubbles and smell.
Copy a recipe, keep the original
Twenty built-in recipes, from Neapolitan and NY style to Detroit, focaccia and a Saturday sourdough. Copy any of them, tweak the copy, and both stay in your library.
Kitchen temperature from the weather
When you allow it, the kitchen temperature can prefill from local weather, so yeast and timing estimates start from a useful number. A manual reading always wins.
Your data stays yours
Photos stay on your phone unless you send one to Leva or turn on Pro photo backup. Nothing reaches an AI provider until you tap send, and the app tells you what will be sent first. Export your account as JSON without Pro. No ads, no tracking, no analytics SDK. Lievanto Pro adds cloud photo backup, production runs for bigger bakes, a price book, and saved calculator formulas.
