Record and refine every cup. Drip Timer is a coffee timer app that helps you manage pour-over recipes, bean information, and brew history in one place. Follow each brewing step with the timer, then save the beans and recipe you used. The Today screen shows today's brew count and recent history, and lets you start quickly from the recipes you use often. You can also keep notes on each bean's origin, roast level, flavor, rating, and stock amount, making it easier to look back on cups you liked. Shape your daily coffee, one brew at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Drip Timer at none against Coffee Notebook's shown. Drip Timer also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.5). Coffee Notebook's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
