Sound familiar?

  • 📄 Your notebook gets soaked from steam during the make, and the notes from batch #12 are barely readable anyway.
  • 🤔 You remember using 1.8 g of rennet — or was it 2 g? You aren't sure, and the cheese turned out differently again.
  • 🔁 Three months later you repeat the exact same mistake because nothing was written down properly.
  • Something looks wrong with the curd. You search YouTube for an answer while your milk sits cooling on the stove.
  • 📦 You need to show a supplier or inspector what you've made, but your "records" are a pile of sticky notes.

I started Rindr because I was tired of losing the knowledge I built up over years of making cheese. Every batch taught me something — but without a proper journal, that knowledge just evaporated. Rindr is the tool I always needed but couldn't find.

AI assistant in the make

Type "36.5" and it logs the temperature. Ask "is the curd grain too small?" and it answers based on your current step and target parameters — not generic advice.

Recipe — detailed tech card

Every recipe stores the full tech card — steps, ingredients, cultures, enzymes. Export to PDF in one click.

From recipe to finished cheese

A simple workflow that guides you through every make — and builds your personal knowledge base over time.

1

Choose or create a recipe

Start from 30+ built-in recipes or add your own — manually, or by pasting text from a book or website (AI will parse and structure it automatically). Every recipe attaches cultures, enzymes, and molds from the built-in catalogue.

2

Open a batch and follow the steps

Rindr walks you through each stage — normalization, pasteurization, cultures, cutting, pressing, salting, affinage. Log readings via the AI chat ("32.5") or directly in the step form. Photos welcome.

3

Export, analyze, and improve

Close the batch with final yield and notes. Export a PDF report. Your dashboard shows statistics across all your batches — and next time, you'll know exactly what to do differently.

An expert mentor — always in context

Unlike a chatbot, Rindr's AI knows your recipe, your current step, and what you've already logged. Its answers are specific to your batch — not a generic internet search.

Context-aware answers

The AI sees your current step, target parameters, and readings already logged. "Is 32°C OK?" gets a real answer — not "it depends".

Logs readings for you

Type "36.5" — it logs the temperature. Say "done" — it marks the step complete. Keep your hands free during the make.

Photo analysis

Attach a photo of your curd, paste, or rind. The AI comments on texture, color, and consistency — and flags problems early.

Always available

It's 11pm and something looks wrong. Ask. No waiting, no forum posts, no searching YouTube while your milk sits on the stove.

Example conversation during a Havarti make
The curd is at 38°C but it should be 36. Should I be worried?
Luca: At this stage of draining you have a small window — 2°C high is noticeable but not critical yet. Move the mold away from the warm spot and gently press. If it's still climbing in 10 minutes, that's when we should act.
Ok it's stabilized at 36.5
Luca: Perfect. I've logged 36.5°C for this step. Texture and acidity at this temperature should be right on target — you're on track.
