KEY FEATURES 🌿 Botanical Classification & Moisture Metrics Herbs dry differently depending on their natural cellular structure. HerbDryer organizes your harvest into intuitive categories: • Tender & High-Moisture (e.g., Basil, Mint): Requires gentle, low temperatures and consistent airflow to prevent bruising and leaf darkening. • Woody & Resinous (e.g., Rosemary, Thyme): Sturdy, essential oil-rich herbs that retain flavor exceptionally well through controlled dehydration. 🔥 Multi-Method Drying Guides Switch effortlessly between three proven drying methods tailored to each plant species: • Electric Dehydrator: Optimal temperature targets and tray rotation intervals. • Air-Drying Bundles: Safe hanging timelines for cool, dark, well-ventilated rooms. • Low-Temp Convection Oven: Fast-track preservation settings calibrated to safeguard delicate botanical compounds. ⏱ Built-In Phase Checkpoints & Timer Dock Keep every batch on schedule with our dedicated timer dock and stage trackers: • Follow each batch through essential phases: Wilt, Dehydration, Stem Crack Test, and Jar Curing. • Stay alerted to check leaf crispness and ensure zero residual moisture before storage. 📊 Moisture Loss Curves & Preservation Sheets Make informed preservation decisions with clear visual summaries: • Understand expected moisture loss curves for every herb variety. • View estimated shelf-life projections and aroma retention scores. • Get best-practice recommendations for airtight glass jar storage and curing environments. ⚙ Customizable Preferences & Harvest Logs • Display temperatures in either Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C). • Log harvest dates and batch notes directly on your device. 🔒 100% OFFLINE & PRIVACY-FIRST • No internet connection required. • No account registration, logins, or cloud sync. • Zero data collection, zero analytics, zero ads.
