The Equilibrio App is available for free download and it allows you to access the gelato recipes of the Bravo team and the world's greatest Chef glacier. Equilibrio is the new revolutionary system by Bravo consisting of a scale and an App for iPad that allow you to follow step by step, gram by gram, each processing stage of your work: from weighing, to the inclusion of the ingredients at the right time, passing through the cooking temperatures and cooling with accuracy to the centigrade degree, to the extraction. You'll be able to easily check your work! The scale and the app perfectly connect with each other. Equilibrio Smart Scale includes a starter pack of 20 replicable and customizable gelato recipes. These 20 recipes can be modified as many time as you want. With just one click, you will be able to buy the know-how of the best gelato masters in the world. The recipes of some popular names β Angelo Grasso, Luc Debove and many others β are already available for download, and many more famous names are coming in the future. Improved performance if connected to your Bravo machine: Bravo Trittico is already heart and mind, but today it is also equipped with reliable arms which allow it to become a trustworthy helper that is capable to make your laboratoryβs collaborators independent and performing assistants. But it doesn't end there, many other Bravo machines are also compatible with the Equilibrio App: Pastmatic, Gelmatic, Mixcream. The scale, the app and the Bravo machines are connected through the specially developed Wi-fi technology. This integrated system allows the user to monitor and execute every step of working process: scaling, inserting the ingredients at the right time, speed of mixing, temperature control with decimal precision and time control in both the hot and cold processes. Equilibrio for Pastry is now available for Trittico owners!

We have been making ice cream since 2015, and we still are. IceForm Pro is where we balance our own mixes, and where a recipe becomes a tech card, a label, a batch on the floor and a price you can defend. Before it we worked in spreadsheets, then in calculators that were always missing something. Once that cost us a whole batch. Every mistake we made since has left a limit or a warning somewhere in this app. BALANCING A recipe is a balance of fat, sugars, solids, water, sweetness and freezing behaviour. Change an amount and every indicator moves with it. When a batch will not come into range, one button works out the amounts that will, respecting what you lock and the limits you set. - The adaptive IceForm profile: MSNF, Sugars and Total Solids ranges follow the fat level you set, while POD and PAC balance independently. Every limit is yours to change. - 32 built-in profiles for specific product categories. Duplicate one or build your own. GANACHE A recipe type of its own: Aw, Brix, SFC at 20 and 28, pH, caramelisation and melting points, plastic range, shelf life, consistency, fatty-acid profile and cocoa components. WHAT YOU SEE Balance Radar, PAC and POD, MSNF, Hardening Factor, frozen water, overrun, Coldness Perception, a scoopability gauge and a freezing curve in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Evaporation and overrun simulation shows what they do to every number. INGREDIENTS 340+ curated ingredients, import from USDA FoodData Central by name or barcode, or your own through a guided composition editor. Cost and nutrition per 100 g and per serving, and a finished recipe can become an ingredient in another. THE DAY ON THE FLOOR Today opens on what is happening: what is in progress, what to make, what is in the way. A batch runs as a shift with timers and readings, and survives quitting. A recipe becomes products: pints, pans, cups, bars, each with its own pack, yield and price. Every finished lot carries the cost it was made at, and a lot that has to come off sale is followed to the tub and the slot it stands in. WHAT IT COSTS AND EARNS Three rungs, and the app works out which one your figures reach instead of letting you declare it: ingredients, plus overheads by the kilogram, plus hands and machine hours. A batch freezes its cost in layers the day it is made, so November's cream cannot rewrite October. Cost per litre, kilogram, scoop and piece on the real denominators. Price and margin by channel with the commission taken off first, break-even in portions a day, and the assortment split into stars, workhorses, puzzles and ballast. Eight reports, exported as a real spreadsheet. THE ASSISTANT Ask in plain words, in any language. It works your recipe through the tools you use, and the app does the calculating. It can draft a recipe, rebalance one you have, or fill an ingredient's composition from a name or a photo of its label. Bring your own provider: Apple Intelligence on device, Gemini, Claude or ChatGPT. Every change is yours to keep or undo. iPhone, iPad and Mac, with iCloud sync. SUBSCRIPTION Balancing is free. Without a subscription you get the sample recipe, fully editable, the full read-out on anything you build, and one recipe and three ingredients of your own. Pro adds the working tool: the ingredient library, USDA and barcode import, import and export, tech cards, the calculators and the assistant. Pro+ adds the business: stock and orders, production and finished goods, costing, prices and margins. If a subscription lapses, your recipes and ingredients stay readable in full; you just cannot edit or add. The Pro+ sections close with their data intact. PRIVACY Your recipes are yours. They stay on your device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud. We never see them and train nothing on them. If you connect a cloud assistant, your request goes to the provider you chose, under their terms.
