## What is 4?

A pour over coffee timer that guides every 4:6 Method pour with sound and haptics.

Shizuku is a hand drip coffee timer and brew log built around Tetsu Kasuya's "4:6 Method." Enter your coffee dose and water amount and the pouring schedule is calculated for you. Each pour is announced, so even beginners can brew a consistent cup every time. Save your recipes, track your coffee beans, and record your taste with a flavor chart, all in one app.

[Perfect for you if...]
- You're new to pour over and your brews aren't consistent
- You want to practice the 4:6 Method right from your phone
- You'd love to save your favorite recipes and blends, and recreate the taste
- You want to track how many beans are left and when they are at their best
- You want to look back on your coffee habits with real data

[Guided 4:6 Method Coffee Timer]
Just enter your dose and water amount, and Shizuku calculates the ideal pouring schedule automatically. Dial in taste (sweet to bright) and strength (light to strong) across 5 levels to match your mood. Each pour is announced with sound and vibration, and you can choose whether cues play in Silent Mode.

[Brew Log & Recipes]
Save your brew settings, ratings, bean info, and notes all in one place, then recreate "that perfect cup" anytime. Tap a brew in the Log tab to open its saved recipe, or tap ▶ to brew it again with the same settings.

[Blends & Flavor Chart]
Mix up to 4 beans into a blend and fine-tune the ratio with sliders, always totaling 100%. Rate acidity, bitterness, sweetness, body, aroma and aftertaste on a chart so you can compare recipes at a glance.

[Coffee Bean Tracker]
Record purchase date, price, amount, roast level and roast date to keep a clear stock and purchase history. Shizuku shows an estimated amount left (grams and cups). Freshness reminders based on the roast date and restock reminders when you're running low are free.

[Brew Calendar & Streaks]
Daily brew counts and streaks are tracked automatically. Look back at the days you brewed on the calendar and keep your coffee habit going.

[Share Card (Free)]
Turn your brew into a share card and post it anywhere.

[Detailed Analytics (Premium)]
Brewing trends by time of day and day of week, taste and strength preferences, your top 3 beans, average rating and monthly stats. A per-bean flavor radar shows your taste tendencies (shown once a bean has 3 or more brews with flavor notes). Free users can try it for 30 minutes by watching an ad.

[Backup & Restore (Premium)]
Export your data to a JSON file and restore it later, for a new phone or just in case.
