The complete home-roasting workbench has landed — one continuous record from green bean to cup. • Roast workbench: big-button event punching while you roast (charge, yellow, first crack, drop), with the development ratio running live after first crack; field mode goes full-screen for blind punching; Live Activities put the timer on your lock screen and Dynamic Island • Nine import formats: Artisan (JSON, ALOG, CSV), Giesen, IKAWA, Loring, ROEST, Kaleido and generic CSV; play, speed-shift or scrub any curve with live bean-temp and rate-of-rise readouts • Compare roasts: overlay two batches channel by channel and choose which channel to read; when a batch lacks that channel it says so rather than drawing a false line • Roaster catalog: official spec sheets for 35 machines, one tap to set yours up • Green library and stock: charges draw down green lots, brews draw down roasted cards; finish a roast and mint its bean card in one tap, with cuppings and brews linking back to the batch — and the whole chain exports as a one-bean dossier PDF • Curve sync via iCloud (Pro): pick up your curves on another device. On by default; long-press any roast in the library to keep it local • Landscape: the curve viewer, compare and Roast to Cup all rotate to full-width • A/B brew bench: two parameter sets on the same bean side by side with differences highlighted; the brew timer is rebuilt around cumulative pour weight, with a ruler laying out every pour's target and moment • New LAB section in the dictionary: long-form dossiers in a category of their own — ALO Coffee, Gesha and the Hong Kong Layer, each a dozen chapters with data figures and commissioned plates, in Chinese, English and Japanese • Dictionary and tools recalibrated: the flavor wheel returns to SCA's official 85 descriptors; cupping intensity anchors and grinder conversions follow the official figures; the brewer and paper catalog was verified and expanded to 47 brewers and 72 papers • Export suite: curve sheet PDF, curve PNG, compare exports and a stock report, all in the cupping report's lab style. Cupping reports can carry your shop name and signature (Pro); new lock-screen widgets (Pro) • On-device AI (requires an Apple Intelligence device; not available in some regions): post-roast summaries, coffee Q&A, taste profile and a brew advisor, all running on your phone. Siri and Shortcuts supported • OLLA Pro: log as many of your own roasts as you like; importing curves is free up to three, and anything imported stays viewable and comparable forever; iCloud sync is Pro
