From one chef to another: great dry-aging isn't luck. It's control. Steak Locker is the companion app for your Steak Locker smart dry age fridge — trusted in home kitchens and professional ones alike. Whether you're chasing your first 30-day ribeye or running a full dry-aging program in a restaurant, it's the difference between hoping a cut turns out and knowing it will. Open the app and your whole operation is right there: temperature, humidity, and everything that's aging, at a glance. KNOW, DON'T GUESS Watch temperature and humidity in real time, around the clock. Set your targets and Steak Locker keeps watch, sending an alert the moment something drifts — so you can step in before a single cut is at risk, whether you're in the next room or across the country. SEE THE WHOLE STORY Review 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day history for every reading. Spot trends, confirm stability, and prove consistency — the kind of record a serious program needs. TRACK EVERY CUT Log each piece with its cut, weight, and start date. Follow days elapsed and remaining, estimated yield, and progress toward target — from a single primal to a full locker. RUN ONE LOCKER OR MANY Manage multiple lockers from a single app, each with its own targets and program. Scale from one fridge at home to a row of them in a commercial kitchen without losing the thread. GUIDED FROM DAY ONE New to dry-aging? You're covered. Built-in lessons meet you exactly where you are — from your first cut to advanced charcuterie. Seasoned pros can skip straight to the controls. STEAKHOUSE QUALITY, FOR LESS Dry-age premium beef, charcuterie, cheese, and more — results that rival the best steakhouses, at a fraction of the cost of buying it finished. Built for home cooks and professional chefs, butchers, and restaurants. Steak Locker gives you the control the craft demands. Requires a Steak Locker smart dry age fridge (or Steak Locker Smart Aging Controller).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Steak Locker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Typhur has 7.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Steak Locker's written reviews are positive against 62% of Typhur's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Steak Locker ships an update every 2 months, Typhur every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
