## What is knowyourpit?

knowyourpit — AI BBQ Planner

BBQ is part craft, part science, and a whole lot of timing. knowyourpit gives you an AI pit master in your pocket — one that plans your cook from fire-up to table, predicts finish times, and keeps you on track so nothing gets overcooked or forgotten.

PLAN YOUR COOK, START TO SERVE
Tell the app what you're cooking, how heavy it is, and when you want to eat. knowyourpit calculates when to light the pit, when to put the meat on, when to wrap, and when to pull — then sends you alerts so you never miss a window.

SEQUENCE A FULL SPREAD
Cooking brisket, ribs, and chicken for the same meal? The Multi-Cook sequencer takes your whole menu and builds a single schedule so every item comes off the grill ready at the same time. No more cold brisket waiting on the chicken.

AI CHECK-INS DURING THE COOK
Take a photo mid-cook or log your current temps, and the AI analyzes bark formation, moisture, and cook health to give you real-time coaching. It learns your grill and your style over time.

TRACK EVERY COOK
Log sessions with food type, weight, temps, and notes. Rate your cooks and build a personal record of what worked — and what didn't. Your cook history becomes your most valuable BBQ resource.

TEMPERATURE MONITORING
Connect your MEATER, ThermoWorks, Inkbird, or Govee probe and see live readings right inside the app. Set temperature alerts so you get notified the moment your meat hits the target.

FROZEN-TO-TABLE PLANNING
Cooking from frozen? knowyourpit factors in your thaw method — fridge, cold water, or counter — and adjusts the entire timeline so you still hit your serve time without compromising food safety.

GRILL PROFILES
Track multiple cookers with their own history, stats, and quirks. Whether you run a ceramic egg, an offset stick burner, or a pellet grill, each pit gets its own profile.

RECIPES & TECHNIQUES
Browse a built-in library of BBQ recipes with cook parameters already dialed in. Save favorites, take notes, and turn any recipe into a planned cook in one tap.

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competition pit master, knowyourpit brings structure, data, and AI coaching to the art of live-fire cooking.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-16

Fixed a bug where the cook detail screen would show a loading spinner on cold launch. Activity timeline and health score now load correctly the first time you open the app.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-27

A lot has changed since the last major update — here's what's new:

Multi-Cook Sequencer
Plan a full BBQ spread and let the app build one unified schedule. Add brisket, ribs, chicken, and sides — knowyourpit works backwards from your serve time so everything finishes together. Supports multiple grills with per-item grill assignment.

Frozen-to-Table Planning
Cooking from frozen? Pick your thaw method (fridge, cold water, microwave, or counter) and the app folds the full thaw and temper time into your cook plan — including notifications when each window completes.

Cook Photos & AI Check-Ins
Snap a photo mid-cook and get AI feedback on bark formation, moisture, and cook health. Each check-in is logged alongside your temps and notes so you can review the full timeline after the cook.

Overall Cook Grade
Completed cooks now show a letter grade backed by two scores: plan accuracy (how close your finish was to the prediction) and cook health (based on your check-in ratings). Tap the badge for a full breakdown.

Spritz & Mop Scheduling
Set a spritz or mop interval during planning and get notified on schedule throughout the cook. Never forget to moisture your bark again.

Inkbird BLE Overhaul
Bluetooth connection to Inkbird probes is faster, more reliable, and recovers automatically after backgrounding or brief disconnections.

ThermoWorks In-App Password Reset
Reset your ThermoWorks credentials directly inside the app without leaving to a browser.

Vegetables & Fruit Categories
The meat picker now includes vegetables and fruit so you can plan your full cook — not just the protein.

"Stay Signed In" Option
A toggle on the sign-in screen lets you choose between a persistent session and a memory-only session that signs out when the app closes.

Stability & Performance
Resolved a screen-hang bug that caused an 8-second freeze when starting a cook or submitting a check-in on some iOS devices. Fixed a rare issue where a slow Secure Enclave response could trigger an unexpected sign-out mid-cook.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-05-22

v1.0.4 — Smarter planning, every step of the way

Cook Timeline
Your session timeline now shows every spritz on its own scheduled row — complete with clock time and a live countdown so you never miss a spray. If you're wrapping, your wrap technique (like "Braised in Foil with Liquid") appears right on the timeline too.

Frozen Meat Planning
Planning a cook with frozen meat? knowyourpit now factors your thaw method into the full timeline. Your cook card shows a countdown to when you need to pull it from the freezer, with a "START THAW" badge when the window opens. Refrigerator thaws automatically get a 24-hour minimum.

Technique Memory
The app now remembers your preferred techniques per cut — rub style, spritz liquid, wrap method, injection preference, and target start temp. Your PitMaster coach factors your spritz cadence and liquid into AI plans and post-cook analysis.

Cook Photos & AI Analysis
Attach photos to any cook log. The AI can analyze your cook photos and give feedback on bark, color, and doneness.

Multi-Cook Improvements
Edit individual cooks mid-session, pick cooking methods per item, and sequence multiple cuts across your cookers with smarter scheduling.

Spritz Reminders
Set a spritz frequency and get push notifications when it's time — with a haptic nudge so you feel it even with the phone in your pocket.
