## What is BrewSmart?

BrewSmart is your complete coffee brewing companion. Calculate the ratio, get coached through every pour, log the cup, then dial in the next one — and share the winner as a link that opens right in a friend's BrewSmart. All in one fast, focused app. No ads. No subscriptions.

Adjust water, coffee, or ratio and the other two update instantly. Perfect for pour over (V60, Chemex, Kalita), AeroPress, French press, moka pot, drip, and espresso — whether you're dialing in a new single-origin or scaling up a batch.

THE BREWING LOOP

1. Calculate — Tap or swipe water, coffee, or ratio; the others recalculate instantly. No keyboard, no guessing. Precise to 0.1 g.
2. Brew — Turn any recipe into a guided, step-by-step pour with target weights, timing cues, and a live countdown to your next pour.
3. Log — Save every brew to your journal with a rating, notes, grind, and temperature. Edit any detail later.
4. Dial in — Tell BrewSmart how the cup tasted — too sour or bitter, weak or strong — and get a specific adjustment for your next brew.

FEATURES

Brew Calculator
Tap or swipe water, coffee, or ratio; the other two recalculate instantly.

Pour Guide
Turn any recipe into a step-by-step guided brew with target weights and timing cues. Start from the built-in pour schedule, or build your own pours with a bloom and custom targets. A live countdown ticks down to your next pour. Or keep it simple with the plain timer.

Clip Recipes from the Web
Found a brew guide online? Paste the link and BrewSmart reads the recipe off the page: dose, water, temperature, and every pour. Review it before anything is saved. A daily limit applies.

Share Recipes by Link
Send any recipe as a link. It unfurls with a preview in the chat, and whoever taps it sees the pour schedule, grind, and temperature, then saves and brews it. An attached coffee travels with it, so they can make your exact cup. No BrewSmart? The link opens as a web page. Coffees share the same way, alone or with their recipes. Prefer a picture? Any recipe or journal entry becomes a clean, themed card.

Coffee Library
Keep every coffee you brew: roaster, origin, process, varietals, roast level and roast date, plus your own tasting notes. Attach a coffee to recipes and logged brews, then look back at every cup you made with it.

Dial-In Assistant
Brewed something off? Mark the taste — sour, bitter, weak, or strong — and BrewSmart recommends exactly what to change next time: grind, dose, ratio, temperature, or time. Apply it with one tap.

Brew Journal
Log every cup with a rating, tasting notes, grind, water temperature — and the coffee you brewed with. Add brews by hand or straight from the timer, and edit any detail later.

Recipe Collection
Browse a hand-picked collection of recipes — classics like the 4:6 Method, hot and iced — right from the recipes screen, and save any of them into your app.

Apple Watch Brew Coach
Start a guided brew from your wrist and follow the pour coach with haptic cues for every pour — no need to touch your phone mid-brew. Real-time sync keeps your watch and iPhone together.

Home Screen Widgets
Jump straight to your ratio or timer.

Lock Screen Live Activity
Keep your pour timer and next-pour countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Siri & Shortcuts
Ask Siri to calculate your ratio or start a brew timer hands-free.

Recipe Management
Save your favorite water, coffee, and ratio combinations, plus grind and temperature, as named recipes. Attach a coffee, load any setup with one tap, then edit, rename, or delete anytime.

Grams or Ounces, °C or °F
Switch weight between grams and ounces and temperature between °C and °F — across the app, widgets, and Apple Watch.

Clean & Focused
No ads. No subscriptions. Light and dark mode. Optimized for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4.0 — 2026-08-27

Everything BrewSmart does now has a name and a place to find it.

NEW: Four tabs
Brew, Recipes, Journal and Coffees. The dial is still what you see when you open the app, every time. What changed is the four unlabeled icons that used to sit in the corner: the screens they hid are tabs now, with names on them.

NEW: One screen for adding a recipe
Tap the plus in Recipes and all three ways in are in one place. Paste a link and BrewSmart reads the recipe off the page. Browse the collection. Or write your own. It also names the way most people never find: share a brew guide to BrewSmart straight from Safari, and the recipe comes up right there.

Start brew is a full width button under the dial now, instead of a circle floating in the corner, and it says so when a brew is already running.

An import that does not save now tells you. It used to close quietly and leave nothing behind, which looked exactly like it had worked.

One you may not have found yet: start a brew from your Apple Watch and the pour coach taps out every pour on your wrist, so you never have to touch your phone mid-brew.

Plus reliability improvements and fixes throughout. Still free. No ads, no subscriptions.

### 2.3.1 — 2026-08-12

Share a brew guide from Safari, and BrewSmart reads the recipe without leaving the page.

NEW: BrewSmart in the share sheet
Reading a brew guide? Tap Share, choose BrewSmart, and the recipe comes up right there: the dose, the water, the temperature and every pour. Nothing is saved until you tap Save, and you stay on the page you were reading. It works anywhere you can share a link, not just in Safari.

Share a BrewSmart recipe link the same way and it opens straight to the preview, without counting against your daily clips.

When a page takes too long to read, BrewSmart tells you so and finishes it the next time you open the app.

One you may not have found yet: start a brew from your Apple Watch and the pour coach taps out every pour on your wrist, so you never have to touch your phone mid-brew.

Plus reliability improvements and fixes throughout. Still free. No ads, no subscriptions.

### 2.3.0 — 2026-08-11

Paste a link to a brew guide, and BrewSmart reads the recipe off the page.

NEW: Recipe Clipper
Found a brew guide on the web? Open Recipes, tap + in the top right, choose "Clip from a link" and paste it. BrewSmart opens the page, reads it, and shows you what it found: the dose, the water, the temperature and every pour, along with the coffee itself when the page names it.

Nothing is saved until you say so. You see the whole recipe first, and when a number was hard to read off the page, BrewSmart tells you which ones to check rather than presenting a guess as a fact. If a page holds more than one recipe, you choose the one you want.

Reading a page runs on BrewSmart's servers, so clipping comes with a daily limit. It costs nothing.

One you may not have found yet: when a cup comes out wrong, the Dial-In Assistant takes what you tasted and gives you the exact fix for next time.

Plus reliability improvements and fixes throughout. Still free. No ads, no subscriptions.

### 2.2.1 — 2026-08-04

Shared recipes now import exactly as they were written.

FIXED: Steps no longer go missing
A step with no time or water of its own, the kind that just tells you what to do, used to disappear when you imported a recipe. Every step now comes through, in order, with whatever the sender wrote.

FIXED: Pours written as a range
A pour given as a window rather than a single moment now lands in the middle of that window instead of being skipped.

BETTER: More of the bag travels with the recipe
Imports now read the roaster who produced the coffee, the basket a shot was pulled in, and the language a bag's notes were written in.

One you may not have found yet: any recipe in BrewSmart can be shared as a link, and whoever opens it gets the whole thing, beans included.

Plus reliability improvements and fixes throughout. Still free. No ads, no subscriptions.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-07-26

Log a brew that drifted from its recipe, and BrewSmart now asks what you want to keep.

NEW: When your brew changes the recipe
Ground a little finer, poured a little more? Log the brew and BrewSmart spots the difference. Just log it, save it as a new recipe, or update the original with the numbers you actually used. Brews that differ are marked in your journal, so you can tell at a glance which cup followed the recipe and which one went its own way.

NEW: Ask Siri, hands-free
Say "Start a brew with BrewSmart" when your hands are busy, or name the one you want: "Brew 4:6 Method with BrewSmart." Log a cup the same way, or ask for the ratio math. Log Brew and Load Recipe are in the Shortcuts app too, ready to drop into your own automations.

NEW: BrewSmart speaks Spanish
The whole app, now in Spanish, alongside English, Japanese, and Portuguese.

One you may not have found yet: while a guided brew runs, the pour timer and your next-pour countdown sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can follow along without unlocking.

Plus reliability improvements and fixes throughout. Still free. No ads, no subscriptions.
