## What is Kombu Time?

Brew your kombucha with confidence and ease using Kombu Time, the app designed to keep your brewing process simple and stress-free. Perfect for kombucha enthusiasts who value simplicity, Kombu Time helps you track your fermentations without the clutter of unnecessary features.

Features:

- Straightforward Brew Management: Easily manage your kombucha brews with clear tracking of both first and second fermentations. Add optional flavor notes for second fermentation and tea types for first fermentation to keep track of your experiments.

- Home Screen Widgets: See your active brews at a glance without opening the app. Available in multiple sizes, widgets show fermentation progress, days remaining, and which brews need attention—right from your home screen.

- Timely Notifications: Receive notifications exactly when you need them—when it's time to bottle after the first fermentation, and when your kombucha is ready to enjoy after the second. Quick actions let you complete a brew or extend fermentation by 1 day right from the notification—no need to open the app.

- At-a-Glance Brew Overview: See the status of all your brews in one clean, uncluttered view. Clear visual indicators show when brews are ready, in progress, or overdue. Know exactly when to start a new brew or when to bottle, without any distractions.

- Brew History: Track your kombucha journey with automatic history logging. View statistics including total brews completed, average fermentation times, and most-used flavors. Export your brewing data as CSV or JSON for your own analysis.

- Flavor & Tea Type Tracking: Keep track of which flavors you use for second fermentation and which tea varieties for first fermentation. Choose from pre-populated favorites or add your own. Completely optional—skip it if you prefer to keep things simpler.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-03-15*

I’ve been using this app since its release and it’s been so helpful to keep track of my brews!

### 2/5 — Simple but functional

*2025-03-23*

Just does what you need. 
Has one major issue - when you complete 1F it moves to 2F as expected but then creates a new 1F with the same Batch number you then have to delete thru settings

### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-02-10*

Great app for making kombucha, doesn’t have any extra fluff.

### 5/5 — Simple but functional

*2025-01-28*

Just does what you need. At first I wanted to name the batch but then I realized I don’t name them anyways! It ust needs dates, countdown timers and it handles the reminders.
