About Formulair
Keep your raw materials organised with collection of cards to store information. Keep track of basic information such as supplier, IFRA limits and cost per gram. Add dates for purchasing your stock and making dilutions to act as a reminder to when raw materials may have gone off. A table summarising concentration in formulas serves to quickly remind you which usage levels you found the most success with.
Organise your formulas into custom categories and sketch out new ones with ease. Simply search your raw materials library and set a weight in grams up to 3 decimal places. Mark formula entries as too strong or weak. Change the dilution of a formula entry or swap out a raw material as you please. Formulair makes all of this quick and easy.
Features:
- A custom scaling engine helps you scale formulas up and down using a scaling factor, target weight or target concentration.
- View a fragrance pyramid split into 5 levels of substantivity and a visual raw material category breakdown for each formula.
- Keep track of different raw materials' dilutions and change dilutions in formulas using the existing solvent.
- Includes a setting to scramble your raw material usage table, hiding sensitive formula information.
- Your data is secured by apple in a private iCloud container.
- Featuring a carefully designed colour palette, allowing you to assign colours to fully capture the essence your raw materials.
- A rich interface supports light and dark mode. Even the raw materials colour palette adapts dynamically.
- Raw material cards include a listing of every formula it's used in from strongest to weakest, showing any flags you set for too strong or weak.
- Export formulas to pdf allowing you to print and share, markdown to open in note taking software, or tsv (tab-separated value) files, to load into spreadsheet software.
Pricing:

Kind of a pain
I’d rather just enter everything into a spreadsheet and not have to worry about filling out all these new fields and learning the quirks of a new app

Nice start but lacking a proper feature set - seems it is no longer being developed
This is a great start but for the $40 I paid for it, and seeing there is no update for 1.5 years now, I’m a bit disappointed. There is no way to batch edit multiple items, which seems like a core feature when working with so many materials. The material import is extremely basic. If you get the import wrong, your only recourse is to manually edit every item one by one or delete the app, clear your cache, and start over entirely - this isn’t acceptable in my opinion. The fact you can’t even reset your library without deleting the entire app is an oversight. Again, it’s a good start but it’s surprisingly lacking. I don’t think it is worth the money they’re asking as it is now.
