Herbal Tracker Journal - Balm

About this app

Balm is the complete companion for home herbalists, wildcrafters, and everyone building their own plant medicine apothecary. Whether you are pressing tinctures, drying a fresh nettle harvest, or building your materia medica one plant at a time - Balm keeps every batch, formula, and harvest beautifully organized. TRACK EVERY PREPARATION Log tinctures, syrups, infused oils, salves, glycerites, tea blends, vinegar extracts, oxymels, and fire ciders. Set your maceration period, track progress day by day, and get notified when preparations are ready to strain or press. Every batch recorded from first pour to finished remedy. HERB INVENTORY AND APOTHECARY Know exactly what you have on hand and how fresh it is. Log harvest dates, sources, and quantities for every herb in your apothecary. See what is running low and what is ready to use at a glance. WILDCRAFTING AND DRYING LOG Track fresh herb batches from wild harvest through drying. Log fresh weights, set expected dry-down ratios, and record final dried yields. Build a personal record of every wildcrafting season over time. MATERIA MEDICA REFERENCE Browse a built-in reference of 20+ medicinal plants with traditional actions, primary uses, body system affinities, safety notes, and seasonal harvest windows. Filter by body system - respiratory, digestive, nervine, adaptogenic - to find the right plant for any formula or remedy. FORMULA AND REMEDY BUILDER Save your custom formulas and blends. Record ratios, menstruum choices, and notes for every remedy so you can recreate your best preparations exactly. A complete record of every formula you have developed. SEASONAL AWARENESS A seasonal card on the home screen highlights current harvest windows and preparation opportunities based on your hemisphere. Stay in sync with what is growing now - dandelion in spring, elderflower and St. John's Wort in summer, elderberry and rose hips in fall, warming blends in winter.
