## What is Oxymel?

Oxymel Companion is a privacy-first formulary and batch log for home oxymels, shrubs, and herbal or medicinal vinegars.

Everything stays on this iPhone or iPad. No account, no cloud, no feed.

WHAT YOU GET
• Formulas — a private kitchen formulary with herbs, vinegar, honey or sugar ratios, tags, and pantry matching. Starter cards include elderberry oxymel, ginger lemon shrub, fire cider, and rosehip oxymel.
• Start batch — begin a jar from a formula, optional parent for a second steep, and jar photos from the camera. Photos never leave the device.
• Infusions — now / week / later plus a month and week calendar. Local shake and strain reminders only. No push servers.
• Strain & taste — record yield, tasting notes, and score; postpone or start another steep.
• Pantry — herbs, vinegars, and sweeteners on hand, from Formulas or Settings.
• History — batch genealogy and PDF/text share from the device. JSON export from Settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• All formulary data lives in the app sandbox (SwiftData).
• No sign-in, no server, no analytics, no ads, no tracking SDKs, no in-app purchases.
• Paid once. No subscription.
• Export your library as JSON from Settings when you want a backup.

REQUIREMENTS
iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later.

Made by GFC Studio in Belgium.
