🧀 cheesemaking Live · Self-host

A tracker for home cheesemakers who care about the details.

Log every batch from milk to aged wheel. Record temp & humidity in your aging vault. Capture tasting notes on every cut. And when you're not sure what's going on with that 21-day Brie, upload a photo — Claude Vision reads the rind, estimates stage, and suggests tasting-note keywords.

What it does

📒

Batch logs

Name, cheese type, milk source, start date, aging target, status. Everything about one wheel, in one place. SQLite under the hood — your data never leaves your server.

🌡️

Aging vault

Daily or as-needed log entries: day number, temp (°F), humidity (%), free-form observations. Spot trends, catch drift early, keep the record your cheese deserves.

👅

Tasting notes

1-10 rating plus flavor, texture, and aroma fields. Build a history across batches so you can actually answer "which Brie was the best one?"

🤖

AI vision aging assistant

Upload a photo of any wheel. Claude reads rind color, estimates mold coverage, guesses the aging stage, and suggests tasting-note keywords to consider on your next cut.

🔒

Single-password auth

Built on dangercorn-saas-template (dcst). One password to protect your data, simple Stripe wiring for Pro features when you're ready.
