About this app

You poured six candles three weeks ago. What did each one cost you? Which fragrance load was it? Was that the batch that tunnelled?

CandleBatchLog keeps the answers in one place.

COST PER CANDLE, DONE PROPERLY
• Record your waxes, oils, wicks and vessels with what each one costs
• Build a recipe from them, and see the batch cost and the cost per candle immediately
• Add what you sell one for and see your margin per candle
• If a supply has no price yet, CandleBatchLog says so and treats the total as a floor — it never quietly counts an unpriced supply as free

FRAGRANCE LOAD, WITHOUT THE MENTAL ARITHMETIC
• Enter your wax and oil weights and see the load as a percentage
• Calculated as oil ÷ wax, the way your supplier states their maximum — not oil ÷ total, which flatters the number
• Multi-wax blends just work: add two or three waxes and they sum

CURE TRACKING AND BURN TESTS
• Set your own cure time per recipe, and get one reminder when a batch is ready to burn-test — not one per candle
• Record the burn: time, melt pool width and depth, your own scent-throw rating, and whether it tunnelled, sooted or mushroomed
• Every test stays attached to the batch, so you can see what changed between the wick you used last time and this one

A REAL BATCH HISTORY
• Every pour, grouped by month, with the load and the cost it was logged at
• Photograph the batch
• Recipes and batches keep the prices they were written with, so raising a supplier's price never rewrites what last year actually cost you

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
• No account, no login, no cloud
• Everything stays on your phone

FREE AND PREMIUM Free covers three recipes and ten batches, with unlimited supplies. Premium removes both limits and the ads, as a one-time purchase.

RECORD-KEEPING, NOT ADVICE CandleBatchLog stores what you entered and does the arithmetic on it. It does not recommend a fragrance load, does not suggest a wick size, and does not tell you a blend is safe. Follow the maximum usage levels your fragrance supplier publishes, and test your own candles.

Log the pour. Know the cost. Remember the burn.

What’s new

• Log every pour as its own batch — number, scent, pour date and cure progress
• Cost per candle from the supplies you priced; unpriced items are flagged, not ignored
• Fragrance load worked out as oil ÷ wax
• One summary notification when a batch is ready to test
• Burn tests: melt pool, tunnelling, sooting and mushrooming
• Supplies priced per gram or per unit, snapshotted into each recipe
