Cavatore is a field book for the licensed truffle hunter and their dog — outings, finds, scent drills, private zones and a season reference, all kept on your device.
What is new in this version?
Two additions. Ground reading (Season → Ground reading) ranks your own zones for today from the month, the host tree each zone stands on and what that ground has given in this month before, and carries a reading for the month. Host trees (Rules → Host trees) is a reference to the nine trees truffles grow with — the soil each one likes, when it gives, and which species are found under it.
Does Cavatore work without a connection?
Almost entirely. It asks our server for its settings once, the first time it opens, and after that everything — outings, finds, drills, zones, the rules reference — works offline and every entry is stored on your device.
Where is my data kept?
On your device only. Cavatore has no account, no cloud sync and no server of its own — nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
How is the ground reading scored?
From your own book only. A zone scores on three things: how many of the species you hunt are open this month under that zone's host tree, how many grams that zone has given in this same month in past years, and how long it has been rested since you last worked it. Nothing is guessed and nothing is sent anywhere.
Can I edit the hunting season windows?
Yes, in Rules → Your season calendar. The shipped months are typical windows; your region's official calendar may differ, so the app lets you adjust each species.
Does Cavatore identify truffles from a photo, or set a price?
No. It is a private logbook, not an identification tool or a marketplace.
I switched phones — how do I move my data?
Cavatore currently keeps data on-device only, so restoring from an iOS device backup (iCloud or Finder/Xcode) is the way to bring it to a new phone.
