About Layers by AgriBio Systems
Most composting apps give everyone the same advice. Layers doesn't — because a worm bin isn't a hot pile, and a bokashi bucket should never be turned. Layers is the composting companion that actually knows your method. Choose from six approaches — hot (thermophilic), vermicomposting, bokashi, cold composting, tumbler, or Johnson-Su bioreactor — and every temperature target, moisture range, reminder, and recommendation adapts to how you actually compost. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log temperature, moisture, turns, and photos in seconds Method-specific guidance that flags problems before they ruin a batch Weather-aware recommendations for outdoor piles, powered by Apple Weather YOUR COMPOST, EVERYWHERE Home screen widgets show your pile's latest temperature and status Lock Screen widgets with method-aware countdowns — "Turn in 2 days" for hot piles, ferment-day tracking for bokashi Live Activities pin an active pile to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island SEE IT THROUGH A proper curing phase with guidance tuned for resting compost Harvest flow that records your yield and celebrates the finish Shareable run summaries: temperature curve, turn count, and photo timeline of the whole batch GET BETTER EVERY BATCH Analytics dashboard across all your projects Batch comparison: overlay temperature and moisture curves from past piles to learn what made your best batch your best Recipe builder with C:N ratio calculations for a perfect mix from day one AND THE ESSENTIALS Smart notifications that respect your method — no turn reminders for a worm bin iCloud sync across your devices Full data export From your first kitchen-scrap bucket to a farm-scale Johnson-Su operation, Layers meets you where you compost.

What’s new
Version 2.1.0 · Updated July 22, 2026
What's New in Layers 2.1 Your compost, at a glance — this update brings Layers to your home screen, Lock Screen, and beyond. Widgets See your pile's latest temperature and status without opening the app. The Lock Screen widget knows your method: hot composters get turn reminders ("Turn in 2 days"), bokashi buckets count down the ferment, and Johnson-Su bioreactors show their day count — because you're never turning those. Live Activities Pin a project to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Log a reading and watch it update instantly — perfect for tracking a pile through its hot phase. Harvest Flow Finishing a batch is a moment worth celebrating. Complete a project to record your yield and get a full run summary: temperature curve, turn count, photo timeline, and total days. Share it as an image and show off your black gold. Curing Phase Real compost doesn't go straight from active to done. Mark a pile as curing and Layers adapts — no more turn reminders, moisture guidance tuned for the resting phase, and a heads-up if your pile reheats. Bokashi users get a dedicated soil integration stage. Batch Comparison Compare up to four batches of the same method side by side. Overlay temperature and moisture curves, see who hit peak temp first, and figure out what made your best batch your best. Plus bug fixes and performance improvements. Happy composting!
