We make ice cream ourselves, in our own production, since 2015. 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. We share what we have learned here and grow the app alongside our lab. Before it we used spreadsheets and calculators that always missed something. Once that cost us a whole batch. Every mistake since has left a limit or a warning in this app. THE RECIPE EDITOR When a figure leaves its range, the editor tells you how to bring it back: how many grams of which ingredient to add or take out, and what else that move fixes or breaks. The one you pick is applied with a tap. Or press Balance, and the app works out the whole recipe at once, keeping the lines you lock and the limits you set. - The adaptive IceForm profile: MSNF, sugars and solids follow your fat, PAC and POD balance on their own. - 32 built-in profiles for gelato, ice cream, sorbet and more, or your own. - A serving goal, display case, pozzetto or freezer, and the PAC hint points the right way. - The draft writes itself, and every save is a version you can compare and go back to. WHAT YOU SEE PAC and POD, MSNF, hardening factor, frozen water at serving temperature, the freezing curve, overrun, coldness, scoopability and a balance radar. GANACHE Water activity, Brix, SFC at 20 and 28 ยฐC, pH, plastic range and shelf life. THE INGREDIENT STUDIO 340+ curated ingredients with full composition, sugars per USDA, PAC and POD worked out from what is in them. Import from USDA by name or barcode, or add your own in one editor. On Mac and iPad the library is a table that edits many ingredients at once. A finished recipe can become an ingredient in another. THE DAY ON THE FLOOR Home opens on what you were doing and what needs you. A batch runs as a shift with timers and readings. A recipe becomes products, pints, pans, cups, bars, each with its own pack, yield and price, and every lot carries the cost it was made at. WHAT IT COSTS AND EARNS Cost per litre, kilogram, scoop and piece, frozen into each batch the day it is made. Price and margin by channel after commission, break-even in portions a day, and the assortment split into stars, workhorses, puzzles and ballast. Eight reports, exported as a spreadsheet. THE ASSISTANT Ask in plain words, in any language. It drafts a recipe, rebalances one, or fills an ingredient from a name or a photo of its label. It proposes, you decide. You choose the AI provider: on this device, or in the cloud with your own account or key. iPhone, iPad and Mac, with iCloud sync. SUBSCRIPTION Balancing is free: 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 ingredient library, USDA and barcode import, import and export, tech cards, the calculators and the assistant. Pro+ adds stock and orders, production, costing, prices and margins. New subscribers can try Pro free for 3 days or Pro+ for 2 weeks. If a subscription lapses, everything you made stays readable. PRIVACY Your recipes stay on your device and in your own iCloud. We never see them and train nothing on them. A cloud assistant sends your request to the provider you chose. Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in Preferences.

Oui is a private place for your food memories, taste preferences and recipes. CAPTURE YOUR DISCOVERIES Take or choose a food photo, give it a name and collect it to your Taste Planet. Keep the original photo, culinary details and your own tasting notes. Another tasting can belong to the same dish without becoming a duplicate discovery. EXPLORE YOUR FOOD WORLD See the origins of your saved dishes on a globe. Browse your discoveries by cuisine, ingredient or flavour, mark favourites and search your own collection. Dish origins and dining locations stay separate. DEFINE YOUR OWN TASTE Adjust sour, sweet, salty, umami and spicy preferences by tapping your Bloom. Your manual preferences remain yours; frequently eaten does not automatically mean liked. KEEP YOUR OWN RECIPES Record ingredients, steps, equipment and personal notes. Each edit is kept as a new version, and you can pin a version you prefer. Adjust servings to scale ingredient quantities, follow cooking steps and timers, then record your feedback. Always check ingredients, cooking conditions and food safety yourself. OPTIONAL CLOUD AI Signed-in users can request dish suggestions, recipe drafts and a provisional taste interpretation. Google Gemini processing requires separate permission. Review and correct AI output before saving: it is not an allergy-safety check, medical advice or a nutrition guarantee. Manual entry remains available. PRIVATE BY CHOICE Single-photo collection, your Planet, Bloom, private cookbook and local exports work without an account. Signing in does not automatically upload your photos. Confirm private sync in Profile to sync this account's photos, discoveries, recipes and preferences. Guest data stays separate. Export records or a full local photo backup, and delete your account from the app. OUI PRO Optional monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscriptions unlock new batch photo collection: organise up to 50 photos at a time, review names and origins, exclude photos, pause and resume, and save only the discoveries you confirm. Existing saved discoveries remain available after cancelling Pro. Prices and any offers are shown by the App Store before payment. Manage or cancel subscriptions in App Store settings; deleting an Oui account does not cancel an Apple subscription.
