Find a great cup anywhere, log every visit, and keep the record of everywhere coffee has taken you. Seen our "Great Coffee Inside" sticker on a café window? This is the app behind it. Shops that care put it up, and the map of all of them is in your pocket. FIND GREAT COFFEE, ANYWHERE Open the map in any city and see the specialty coffee shops around you. Search as you move, and filter by what matters: open now, newest, nearest, or the shops you have saved. When you land somewhere new, Best Near Me ranks the shops within walking distance by rating against how far you would walk. Every listing carries what decides a visit: photos, opening hours, the espresso machine and grinder on the bar, the roasters served, and separate ratings for coffee, service and place. LOG EVERY VISIT One tap saves the moment: the shop, what you drank, a photo, a note. Your visits build into a timeline of your coffee life, chaptered by trip. That flat white in Lisbon two years ago? Still there. SET YOUR YEARLY CHALLENGE How many coffee shops will you visit this year? Pick a number and watch the count climb, visit by visit, with a home-screen widget that keeps score. TAKE A SHIFT BEHIND THE BAR Shake your phone for Coffee Run: a 60-second shift at the counter. Take the order, carry the cup, don't spill a drop. Everyone plays the same floor each day. Your best, your regulars and your Barista Path are yours. TRAVEL LIKE A COFFEE PERSON Roasters was built for the specialty coffee traveller. One reviewer put it best: "It changed the way I travel. I started looking for accommodation only near a coffee shop." Plan the trip around the coffee. This is the map for it. RATE, REVIEW, BELONG Rate the coffee, the service and the place separately, and tag the drinks you tried so the next person knows what to order. See what your city is drinking, follow reviewers around the world, and climb the leaderboard, or quietly read along. AND THE REST Lists to build, public or private. Roasters as first-class citizens, not just cafés. Coffee jobs and events, posted by the shops themselves. Keeps working on a weak signal. Roasters is free to explore and free to log. Roasters Pro adds the power tools: Best Near Me, the open-now and nearest filters, review translation, and unlimited map searches. Great coffee inside. Go find it.

Bakers Timer

Bread runs on its own schedule. Bakers Timer keeps track of it so you don't have to. Build a timeline once — mix, autolyse, bulk ferment, shape, cold proof, bake — and the app counts down every step, tells you exactly when the loaf comes out, and wakes you for the 6 a.m. fold. RUN SEVERAL BAKES AT ONCE Sourdough in bulk fermentation, pizza dough proofing, croissants cold-proofing overnight — every bake gets its own countdown on one screen, ordered by whatever needs you next. ALARMS THAT ACTUALLY WAKE YOU Step alarms are time-sensitive, so they break through Focus and Sleep modes. Overnight steps show the wall-clock time they'll ring. Add a minute or skip ahead straight from the notification. ALWAYS KNOW WHEN IT'S DONE Every timeline shows "ready by" — before you start and while it runs. Plan a bake around dinner instead of guessing. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN The current step, its countdown and the finish time live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. No unlocking to check the dough. BAKER'S PERCENTAGES Add a formula to any timeline: set the flour weight and every ingredient rescales with it. Total dough weight and hydration are worked out as you type. START FROM A CLASSIC Browse curated collections — a beginner's path from starter to first loaf, plus schedules for baguettes, focaccia, milk bread, bagels and Neapolitan pizza. Tap Get and it's yours to edit. SHARE A TIMELINE Send a bake to a friend as a link — they tap it and the whole schedule lands in their app. Publish your own and see how many bakers use it. YOUR RECIPES STAY YOURS Timelines and history back up to your iCloud, so they survive a new phone or a reinstall. No ads. No account needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bakers Timer at none against Roasters's 19. Bakers Timer also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Roasters's advantage is chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
