What's new in Soap Ledger

Every change you can see, newest first. Last updated .

A free lye calculator and an oil reference on soapledger.com

  • A free lye calculator on the website, with no account needed. It uses the same calculation engine and oil data as the app: NaOH, KOH or dual lye, purity, superfat and three ways to set the water.
  • A reference page for every oil with a sourced SAP value: NaOH and KOH SAP, fatty acids, iodine and INS where we have them, and the sources behind each number.
  • This changelog.

Recall check

  • Start from a supplier lot or a batch and see every bar made from it, and where those bars went (Shop plan).

Paid plans, sales and markets

  • Paid plans are live: Free, Maker and Shop, with a 14-day Shop trial and no card needed. Change your plan and pay by card inside the app, under Settings → Plan.
  • Import sales from Etsy, Shopify and Square.
  • Quick sale for market days, and prices that include packaging and your time.
  • A market events report and an export for your bookkeeping.
  • Charts on reports: what's curing, batches per month, yields, cost over time, top recipes and where your bars went.
  • If you record a sale by mistake, you can undo it for 10 minutes.
  • Optional phone notifications for reminders.
  • Clearer wording throughout the app, and better suggestions when a lot has expired.

Sales, files and a one-page recipe sheet

  • Record sales, refunds and expenses, with sales channels and price lists. A new page shows your stock value and sales.
  • A one-page recipe PDF made for the counter on making day.
  • A notice when Soap Ledger has been updated, so you can reload.
  • Light theme by default, and a Light / Dark / Match device choice for each person.
  • Workspace owners can ask everyone to confirm their sign-in with a passkey or a code each time.
  • Fixes for phones: labels fit one column, and buttons on the batch pages no longer push the page wider.

Recipe PDFs, a batch board and two-step sign-in

  • Download any recipe as a branded PDF.
  • A board view for batches: drag a batch from one stage to the next.
  • Two-step sign-in with an authenticator app or a passkey, optional for each person.
  • Liquids can be set as a share of the total liquid, for example 50% goat milk.
  • Imports read SoapMetrics-style printouts too, including liquids like goat milk that count toward the water.
  • Reminder emails are off until you turn them on, and you choose which ones you get.
  • A feedback form on the website and in the app.
  • The website, soapledger.com, with our refund policy, privacy policy and terms.

Tweaker, Blend Advisor and fatty acids for 114 oils

  • Soap Studio is now Soap Ledger.
  • The Tweaker: nudge a soap quality or an oil up or down and watch the lye and scores change, then save it as a new draft.
  • The Blend Advisor suggests oil changes that move toward the qualities you want.
  • Sourced fatty-acid profiles for 114 oils, so soap qualities show for most recipes. Waxes and resins are listed but left out of the scores.
  • Oil SAP values rebuilt from cited research: 147 oils, 131 of them with a sourced SAP value. Every SoapCalc oil name maps to one of them.
  • Fragrance guidance: the common 3–6% of oils starting range, and a check against your supplier's IFRA limit for soap.
  • Add stock from a supplier receipt, PDF or pasted text.
  • Unmold and cut reminders, a daily reminder email if you want one, and a private calendar link.
  • Choose your own weight unit, and type to search for ingredients.

Additives and imports

  • Additives measured as % of oils, % of batch, oz per lb, or by the spoon once you record a density.
  • Liquids that count toward the water, such as milk.
  • A SoapCalc-style “at a glance” table in pounds, ounces and grams.
  • Better reading of SoapCalc PDFs, with a step-by-step review before anything is saved.

The first version

  • Recipes with versions, the lye calculator with sourced SAP values, molds, batches with a phone workbench, curing, inventory, finished stock, labels with QR codes, PDF import, exports and backups.
