Freeze Dry Buddy app screens with freeze dried fruit jars

Built for home freeze drying

A batch log that remembers the real run.

Built for Harvest Right, Blue Alpine, and other home freeze dryers. The difference between a repeatable result and a mystery is often one small setting.

Log every batch in 60 seconds

Food, machine, pre-freeze state, brand-specific cycle settings, final weight, packages, storage, outcome, and notes live in one run history.

Brandon's recipe library, built in

Start from Brandon Whiteleather's prep notes, settings, pull cues, and food-specific reminders before you run the next tray.

Your pantry, visualized

Every batch fills the right jar so you can see fruits, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and shelf gaps without rebuilding a spreadsheet.

Smarter after every run

The app keeps your personal averages close to Brandon's starting points, so repeated foods get easier instead of noisier.

What gets saved

The notes people usually lose.

Paper logs and camera rolls are hard to search when a tray finally turns out right. Freeze Dry Buddy keeps the operational details tied to the food, outcome, and pantry.

  • Machine model and tray setup
  • Freeze temperature or cycle time
  • Dry temperature and cycle time
  • Extra dry and pump pressure
  • Fresh and finished weight
  • Outcome and rehydration notes
