BakeScale Companion

BakeScale Companion is a practical, offline utility app designed for home bakers and kitchen enthusiasts to manage recipe yields, convert baking measurements, track oven times, and calculate cake servings. Operating completely offline with zero data collection, it provides reliable tools to support your baking workflow.

Key Features:
* Recipe Logger & Scaler: Create and manage a personal recipe database with names, descriptions, prep/bake times, categorized ingredients, and baking steps. Instantly adjust ingredient quantities using built-in scale multipliers (0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x).
* Interactive Baking Timers: Run multiple countdown timers simultaneously with custom names, or choose from common baking presets (Cookies, Sponge Cake, Sourdough, puff pastry, brownies) to track multiple items in the oven.
* Baking Unit Converter: Seamlessly convert measurements between weight units (g, oz, kg, lb) and volume units (ml, cup, tbsp, tsp, fl oz). Includes density-based conversions for common baking ingredients like flour, granulated sugar, butter, water, milk, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and honey.
* Cake Servings Calculator: Estimate portion yields for round or square cake pans. Define pan diameters or width/length dimensions in inches or centimeters, select depth categories (standard or double layers), and view calculated servings for both party and wedding portions.
* Baking Notes Journal: Document your baking experiments, adjustments, oven temperatures, hydration ratios, and outcomes. Add, view, edit, and delete text-based notes stored securely on your device.
* Baking Troubleshooter: Read through a handy reference guide addressing common baking problems (such as uneven rising, hard crusts, collapsing centers, over-spreading cookies, and soggy pastry bottoms) with causes and practical solutions.
* Secure and Private: The app operates entirely offline. It does not require user registration, internet permissions, or third-party cloud sync, keeping your baking data private.
