Building the Harvest Right app we always dreamed of

Building the Harvest Right app we always dreamed of

Tl;dr

We built a simple device and app that lets you monitor your Harvest Right freeze dryer from anywhere.

It started as a way to prevent hash makers from losing $50,000 batches, but has evolved into a tool that’s transforming how multiple industries approach freeze drying.

Drying Blind

Freeze drying has always been a black box process. You load your product, start the machine, and hope for the best 36 hours later. For industries like solventless extraction, this approach was leading to catastrophic losses.

We came from the hash world. We'd seen too many producers lose entire batches worth $50,000 or more due to undetected freeze dryer malfunctions.

The need was clear: people needed a way to know what was happening with their machines, no matter where they were.

Building the Solution

We created HashyLink - a device you can plug into your Harvest Right in about five minutes. It connects to a phone app that lets you see what's happening from any device - laptop, phone, or tablet.

Some people were using cameras as a workaround, but that only told you when a batch was done. It couldn't alert you if something went wrong. And who wants to stare at a video feed all day?

With HashyLink, if something happens, you know right away. No more coming back to the unpleasant (and expensive) surprises at the lab.

From Simple Alerts to Increasing Efficiency

Once we started giving people this window into their freeze dryers, they wanted to know more. It wasn't just about catching errors anymore.

People were fascinated by the data. They wanted to understand what was happening during those long hours when the freeze dryer was running. So we kept building.

Now, our Harvest Right app gives you insights into the whole freeze-drying process. You can see temperature changes, track vacuum levels, understand condenser performance and begin to optimize your runs based on the data.

Universal Compatibility

One of our core principles is accessibility for all Harvest Right users. HashyLink works across all Harvest Right models and firmware versions. Whether you have the latest model or an older unit, our device seamlessly integrates with your freeze dryer.

We're constantly working to improve support across the entire range of Harvest Right machines. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every update and new feature works flawlessly, regardless of your freeze dryer's age or model.

Looking Forward

We're still improving HashyLink every day. As a dedicated software company, we can focus entirely on making the product better. We're not constrained by hardware sales or legacy systems.

We built HashyLink to solve a daily $50,000 problem. In doing so, we've opened up a world of possibilities for an entire industry.

Want to see what all the fuss is about? Give HashyLink a try. Your freeze dryer (and your peace of mind) will thank you.
