Your fiery sauce shelf, offline

What Hotsauce does

Hotsauce is the dedicated collection app for hot-sauce obsessives. Log every bottle on your shelf — maker, dominant pepper, Scoville estimate, your personal heat rating, and tasting notes — then watch your collection grow into a beautifully sorted shelf grid ordered by heat.

When a bottle runs out, mark it finished so your history stays intact but your active shelf stays clean. Jump to Rankings to drag your all-time favorites into a personal top-10. Hit HeatScale for a quick Scoville reference when you're shopping a new sauce at the farmers market.

No account. No internet. No subscription for the basics. Just you and your sauces.

• Shelf grid sorted by heat level (mild → reaper) • Per-sauce detail: maker, pepper, Scoville, heat rating, personal rating, notes • Finished-bottle tracking so history is never lost • Drag-to-rank personal favorites list • Built-in Scoville heat-scale reference • Fully offline, SwiftData, nothing leaves your phone

Why we built it

Hot-sauce collectors track their shelf in notes apps, spreadsheets, or pure memory, losing tasting impressions over time, forgetting which bottles are finished, and having no easy way to rank favorites or compare heat levels across their collection.

What makes it different

A dedicated, fully offline hot-sauce shelf app with first-class Scoville tracking, heat-sorted grid browsing, a drag-to-rank favorites list, and finished-bottle history — purpose-built for collectors rather than bolted onto a generic food journal or requiring a cloud account.

Who it's for

Built for anyone who values fast, private, on-device software with a calm, focused UX.
