| Stage | Temperature (°C) | Brix % | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thread | 106 – 112 | 80 | Syrups, glazes |
| Soft Ball | 112 – 116 | 85 | Fudge, fondant |
| Firm Ball | 118 – 120 | 87 | Caramel, toffee |

Sweetive automatically detects your altitude and current atmospheric pressure using your device's location.
Input your target sugar concentration or desired stage. Sweetive calculates the adjusted boiling temperature in real time.
Follow the precise temperature and Brix targets. Reference the built-in stage guide and recipes whenever needed.
The altitude correction feature alone is worth it. I work at 1,400m and every other app gives me wrong temperatures. Sweetive nails it every time.
Finally a confectionery app that doesn't look like it was designed in 2010. The dark UI is gorgeous and perfectly readable under kitchen lighting.
The recipe manager is incredibly detailed. I've replaced three of my reference books with this app. It's always in my apron pocket.
