Keep every jar, check-in and taste note in one offline diary.

Batch Bloom is an offline iPhone journal for homemade fermentation batches: kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, sourdough starters, pickled vegetables and small kitchen experiments. It helps you remember what you started, how it changed by day, and which runs are worth repeating.

ModeFully offlineNo accounts, cloud, AI, scanners, subscriptions or external APIs.
StackSwiftUI iOS 16+Native iPhone utility with MVVM-friendly structure and TabView navigation.
StorageUserDefaults + CodableBatches, check-ins, tastes, types, templates and settings are local.
PositioningPersonal logNot a food safety expert system or laboratory tool.

A cellar workflow for real homemade batches.

This page avoids screenshots and fake app screens. It presents Batch Bloom as a practical fermentation workflow: start a batch, observe it over time, taste it, finish it, and learn from the archive.

Batch lifecycle

The app is built around cycles, not static recipes.

Batch Bloom’s core value is the repeated loop of starting a batch, checking how it behaves, tasting at different moments and finishing with a real outcome.

Over time, the archive helps reveal which temperatures, templates and fermentation types worked best for the user’s own kitchen conditions.

StartType snapshot, vessel, ingredients, starter, salt, sugar, storage band and notes.
ObserveRecommended check-in interval, last check-in age, warning tags and ready window membership.
TasteSourness, crunch or body, balance, overall score, tags and optional notes.
RepeatDuplicate as new, save as template, compare similar finished batches and improve next runs.

Six tabs for a complete fermentation diary.

Batch Bloom is dense enough to remember real experiments, but intentionally avoids social features, shopping, remote recipes, AI, sensors and alarm-heavy behavior.

B

Batches

Active batches, summary filters, stage badges, ready windows and quick actions.

C

Check-In

Focus screen for overdue jars and ready-window batches with a compact observation form.

H

History

Finished batches with search, filters, final scores, durations and outcome tags.

A

Analytics

Score by type, temp band comparison, success rate, template hit rate and repeat behavior.

L

Library

Fermentation types, stage windows, check-in intervals and reusable recipe templates.

S

Settings

Preferred temp band, haptics, analytics period, sample data, export-style data controls and About.

Local-first logic for repeatable kitchen experiments.

The app turns personal observations into deterministic derived values: current stage, days running, needs check-in, ready-window membership, taste history and finished-batch insights.

Personal insights without pretending to be a food safety authority.

Batch Bloom uses careful language such as “likely ready window,” “user observation,” and “personal log.” Warnings like mold suspicion are stored as observation tags, not medical or laboratory recommendations.
