## What is WholeBean?

WholeBean turns every bag of coffee you discover into something you understand. Point your camera at a label, and WholeBean reads it, identifies the bean, and tells you its story—where it's from, how it's roasted, what it tastes like, and how to brew it best.

SCAN ANY BAG

Snap a photo of a coffee bag or label. WholeBean reads the text on-device and identifies the roaster and bean, only confirming a match when it's confident—so you can trust what you see.

KNOW YOUR COFFEE

Every bean gets a rich profile:

• A clear, AI-written summary of what makes it special
• Origin mapped visually, with process and varietal
• A roast meter from light to dark
• A flavor wheel showing the families it spans
• A recommended brew method tuned to the bean

BUILD YOUR COLLECTION

Save the coffees you love and record how you enjoyed them—your tasting notes, the brew, and the cafe or shop where you found it, pinned on a map.

DISCOVER YOUR TASTE

The more you save, the more WholeBean learns. Your Taste Profile brings your coffee life to life with a personal flavor wheel, a world map of the origins you gravitate toward, your roast spectrum, your favorite brew methods, and a warm, AI-crafted summary of your palate.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-12

A brand-new Taste Profile.

Your Taste Profile has been rebuilt from the ground up. It now opens with your palate name — a two-word read on what you actually drink, like “Bright & chocolatey” — next to the traits behind it: your top flavor family, your usual roast, your go-to brew method, and how many origins you’ve collected.

The flavor wheel is interactive. Tap a flavor family and its wedge opens into the specific notes you’ve logged, sized by how often they show up, so you can see exactly what’s driving your taste. Tap again to come back out.

Your AI summary is sharper too. Instead of restating the chart, it looks for what the chart can’t show — the coffees you rate highest versus the ones you keep buying — and names specific beans.

Beans and Experiences now have their own tabs. Your bags and your cups each get a full home in the tab bar, and your Taste Profile is one tap away from the top of the screen.

Also in this release:

• Fixed a crash when opening the Taste Profile from the main screen.
• Tidied up sign-in and sign-up so the main button stays put above the keyboard.

Thanks for using WholeBean. Keep scanning.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-08

Resolved an issue with Google Sign In that was preventing users from accessing their accounts.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-22

A more polished, more complete profile

- Every coffee's profile now feels complete. When details like origin, roast, or flavor notes aren't available for a coffee, the section clearly says so instead of quietly disappearing — no more sparse-looking pages.
- Coffee photos now share a consistent look across your home screen, your collection, and each coffee's page.
- The tab bar now stays put as you scroll, so it's always right where you expect it.
- Accessibility improvements for VoiceOver.

WholeBean gets a warm new look

We've refreshed the app with a rich, coffee-inspired color palette and a bold new accent that brings more warmth and personality to every screen. The redesign carries through light and dark mode alike, with cleaner, more consistent cards and controls throughout.

Thanks for using WholeBean! Keep scanning, and enjoy your next cup.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-07

This update introduces Bean Sharing, so it’s easier to tell friends about coffees you love.

Share any scanned bean with other WholeBean users, who can then save it to their own collections and explore its story, taste profile, and brew recommendations.

It’s perfect for cafe hangs when one of you scans the bag and the other wants to remember it for later, or anytime you want to recommend a new bean to try.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-01

Experiences has been redesigned to showcase the shops where you discover and enjoy your coffee.

Now, when you save a new bean to your collection and link the spot you had it at, you can dive into the actual location and see all the cafes you frequent or discover when traveling, right on an embedded map.

Tap an experience to open a new view that pulls in details about the coffee shop and what it’s known for—signature drinks, style, and more.

We’re now bringing the same level of insight to the places you drink coffee as to the beans themselves, so you never lose track of a favorite café or the beans they serve.
