PicklyWickly: Ferment Log is the pocket fermentation journal for kimchi makers, hot sauce brewers, sourdough bakers, and pickle purists. Calculate exact salt ratios, track pH and bubbling, and never miss a jar-burping day again — all stored right on your phone.
Enter vegetable and water weight in grams to get exact salt amounts for 2%, 3%, or 5% salinity — with presets for kimchi, sauerkraut, kosher dill, hot sauce, and kombucha F1/F2.
Custom push notifications tell you exactly when to release built-up CO₂ pressure, so lids stay put and counters stay clean.
Record daily pH strip readings, ambient kitchen temperature, and bubbling intensity to watch each ferment's story unfold.
Capture high-contrast batch photos to track color shift, brine clarity, and vegetable compression over time.
Label physical jars with custom batch codes, rate tanginess, crunch, and spice once a batch is finally ready to taste.
Keep tabs on everything resting in your fridge or cellar so every jar gets opened at peak flavor — fully offline, always.
Slide to set your vegetable + water weight, pick a salinity style, and watch the jar fill with your exact salt dose. This is the same logic that powers the in-app calculator.
🫙We're a small crew of home fermenters, hot sauce hobbyists, and sourdough bakers who got tired of guessing salt ratios and forgetting which jar was burped last. PicklyWickly: Ferment Log started as our own kitchen notebook and grew into a full fermentation companion.
🎯Our mission is simple: make pickling feel scientific instead of stressful. We believe precise brine math, clear timelines, and gentle reminders should be available to anyone with a jar, some vegetables, and curiosity — not just seasoned fermenters.
🧪The app gives you a precision salt brine calculator with unit switching, an active batch tracker with pH and bubbling logs, gas-burping reminders, a jar photo vault, batch tagging, and a pantry expiration vault — all working fully offline, whenever you need it.
🫙 Ferment with confidence. Log every jar. Waste nothing.
PicklyWickly: Ferment Log was built on one core principle: your fermentation notes, brine formulas, and jar photos belong to you alone. This app runs entirely on your device — no accounts, no cloud sync, no hidden servers watching your kimchi ferment. Below is exactly how (and how little) we handle information.
We collect nothing. PicklyWickly does not ask for your name, email, location, or any personal identifier to calculate a brine, track a pH reading, or store a jar photo.
Since no information is transmitted to us, there is nothing for us to analyze, profile, sell, or share. Your batch notes and salinity presets stay yours, full stop.
Every brine calculation, burping schedule, pH log, and jar photo is stored locally on your device's storage. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud server or external database.
PicklyWickly contains no third-party analytics kits, advertising networks, or tracking pixels. No outside company ever sees how you ferment.
Because your batch data never leaves your phone, it is protected by your device's own security — the same lock screen that protects your photos protects your ferment log.
PicklyWickly does not knowingly collect data from anyone, of any age. As a fully offline tool, it is inherently friendly to households of all ages, including children helping with a kitchen project.
There are no accounts to manage and nothing stored on our servers to request. Uninstalling the app permanently removes all local batch data, brine formulas, and jar photos from your device.
If our approach to privacy ever changes, we'll update this page with a new effective date and clearly describe what changed, so you're never caught off guard.
Questions about this policy? Reach us at privacy@picklywicklyapp.com — we're happy to explain exactly how (little) data moves through PicklyWickly.
