Built around routines
Tools that support repeated household and work patterns instead of adding more noise.
Blackcap is live
Small, useful tools for everyday routines.
Microwave Pie is a home for practical productivity apps that make everyday work feel calmer, easier, and a little more delightful.
First app release
Blackcap
A calm kitchen companion for weekly menus, recipes, and everyday meal planning.
Introducing Blackcap
Meal planning without the clutter.
Blackcap is the first Microwave Pie app release. It is designed to turn meal planning, recipe routines, shopping lists, displays, and guided cooking into something easier to manage, easier to share, and easier to use around the kitchen.
Blackcap can be used as a hosted application or as a self-hosted deployment, with the Raspberry Pi remaining an important display and self-hosting path. Explore the Blackcap documentation.
Simple by default
Clear interfaces, practical defaults, and enough flexibility to grow when needed.
More to come
Blackcap is the first release, with additional everyday productivity apps planned over time.
Software delivery
Shared source, deliberate releases, easier implementation.
Microwave Pie software delivery capabilities turn shared application source into controlled releases and license-managed packages. Choose source or compiled delivery for the deployment, keep release identity intact, and let managed applications surface approved updates in their UI without forcing installation—the administrator decides when to prepare and apply them.
