Frequently Asked Questions

  • Join the early access list and fill out our short questionnaire. Your answers help us match people to suitable rounds of testing. We'll email you if you're selected. Signing up doesn't guarantee an invitation.

  • We're looking for a mix of makers: first-timers and seasoned pros, small test batches and production runs. That way the app gets tested the way it'll really be used.

  • iPad only, to start. iPhone comes next, then a desktop app. Your account and recipes carry across as each one arrives.

  • No. Early access is free, and so is the app for the whole beta if you're selected as a tester.

  • Progress updates as we build, the beta and launch. Nothing else, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

  • Yes. Craft Cacao is developed with input from John Nanci at Chocolate Alchemy, whether you've used his spreadsheet formulator or are starting fresh.
