Crockwise keeps every ferment on your counter in check — the salt, the timing, and that nagging "is this still okay?" — with tools built for real crocks, not lab coats.
Everything a jar needs from first pack to last spoonful, built around how fermenting actually happens in a home kitchen.
Turn the scale dial, slide the salt ruler, and get exact grams for sauerkraut, brine pickles, kimchi, kombucha, kefir and miso — with color zones for under-salted, classic and extra slow.
Every jar keeps its own clock, from first bubbles to ripe. Drag the thermometer and watch the ready date shift as your kitchen warms or cools.
Tap what you're seeing — surface, brine, veggies, bottom or smell — and get a clear call: Normal, Watch It, or Discard, plus plain advice on what to do next.
Burp a gassy lid, log a taste, note a Guide check — it all lands on one timeline, so your kraut and your kombucha both have a story.
Two working tools straight out of the app. Pick a ferment, enter your batch, and watch the numbers move.
Choose your ferment, enter your weight or volume, then slide the ruler to see exactly where you land.
2% is the well-worn path for a crisp, reliably sour kraut.
A sample from the in-app guide — 34 signs in all, each one sorted so you're never guessing over an open jar.
We're a small crew of home fermenters who got tired of eyeballing salt and guessing whether a jar was "probably fine." Crockwise: Ferment Tracker grew out of notebooks left open on the counter into the pocket companion picklers, kraut-makers and kombucha brewers actually reach for.
Our mission is to take the guesswork out of the crock. Salt percentages, fermentation windows and spoilage signals aren't mysteries — they're math and observation, and every home fermenter deserves tools precise enough for a lab and simple enough for a Tuesday night.
Inside the app: a salt ruler and dial that turns jar volume or veggie weight into exact grams for six ferment styles, a personal clock for every jar that reforecasts with your kitchen's temperature, a 34-sign spoilage guide that sorts normal from "toss it," and a journal that remembers every burp, taste and batch you've brewed.
Because a jar you trust is a jar you'll actually finish, and a kitchen full of confident ferments beats a fridge full of question marks — every single time.
"Ferment with your senses, not your fear."
Crockwise: Ferment Tracker is designed around one simple rule: your kitchen is not our business model. Every salt calculation, ready-date forecast, spoilage check and journal entry runs entirely on your own device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your data — this page explains exactly what that means.
We collect nothing. Crockwise does not request your name, email address, location, photos, or any device identifier, and no hidden pipeline gathers this information in the background.
Because nothing is collected, nothing is analyzed, profiled, or sold. There is no advertising engine reading your jar list, and no dataset built from your fermenting habits.
Every jar you log, every salt-ruler reading, every ready-date timer and every journal note is written to local storage on your device only. Nothing syncs to a server or database that we operate.
Crockwise ships without third-party analytics kits, advertising networks, or tracking pixels. Nothing you log ever leaves your phone to reach an outside service.
Since your ferment records never travel anywhere, there is nothing in transit to intercept. Your device's own lock screen and storage protections keep your journal as safe as your photo library.
Crockwise is safe for fermenters of any age because it collects no personal data from anyone, including children under 13 — satisfying the spirit of COPPA by design, not by exception.
There are no accounts to register or delete. If you'd like your data gone, uninstalling the app removes every jar, salt note and journal entry along with it — completely and immediately.
If how Crockwise handles information ever changes, we will update the Effective Date above and describe the change in plain language within the app itself.
